He told his victim to delete and erase the picture but she didn't and that was a good thing as that was the only way she proved her case of the immorality. There was no text from her in response whether picture or otherwise. <br /><br />This goes into the point that these whores seek to manipulate, control and manage the situation at all costs and lust causes them to loose their common sense. <br /><br />Who is it? Every one of these type of unrepentant charlatans. Names change, but the sins remain the same unfortunately.District Supt.

He said bring him a bible wake him out of his sleep and he could preach any scripture anyplace and anytime. But obviously he suffers from loneliness. Now, what I can't get over is that these folks confessions are on video tape so they can't lie even if they edit. And they can't spin because we know the context...At the same time he suffering loneliness, he says his "parameters are so large" that he can't pursue a woman??? What kinda garbage is that???

I used to love his preaching, but his interview with Bloomer gives me the impression that he is a closet womanizer. It is wonderful that he grew his church the way he did, but he is forgetting the tenants of the faith that made him who he is in the Black religious community.

He assumed that going on with ministry in spite of what had been damaged was tantamount to repentance. Further, he stated that people that are critical of those that fail, and I would assume demand for those that fail to be accountable to God and the people, are the "enemies of God" because they are critical. <br /><br />In a side note, to explain his marital situation, he also said that "Jesus was too big to have one woman" and that he is not one to "choose" a woman, he simply responds to those who approach or choose him...He blamed this on the "wideness of his parameters" that makes it very difficult for him to choose a singular person to fulfill his needs (he was talking other than sexually at this point)....HOWEVER, he went on to state, that coming down after having preached to multiple thousands is difficult for him and is a personal struggle. Regarding what he will do AFTER he preaches, he stated this verbatim...<b>"If I don't call one of my buddies, I'm gonna call a woman"</b><br /><br />Does anyone care to comment on that one?

Gilyard said his probation officer OK’d his arrangement with Christ Tabernacle. The Florida Department of Corrections confirmed Gilyard remains in compliance with his probation as long as minors aren’t present when he preaches."</i><br /><br />I told you, they will name themselves. This is sad and he is responsible for doing this to himself. A person comes in for help and gets raped??? Now, for life, there will always be a suspicion and for at least three years he can't have children in his presence...Yes, he can be saved, but if you don;t value what God has given you, he will take it and give it to another.

Their garbage is not hidden to public view.<br /><br />The problem is that when things come out, even with evidence in many cases, the first thing is denial...look at it...in every case, there had to be a court action to make those folk confess to their sins. <br /><br />I told the lady that was raped, before i go public a police report MUST be filed. She has all the evidence necessary, but Stockholm Syndrome is real. These criminals get their victims hooked into some sort of crazy allegiance even if they are whole congregations. This is the power of spiritual and psych seduction and it is real.<br /><br />WISDOM just doesn't blurt out because more people can be damaged in that process.

I was absolutely stunned! Such a statement shows that even when the indentity is known, it would make little difference to some in their particular church, they are always the first rush to defend their fallen leaders with the same misinterpeted cliches "Judge not-touch not Gods anointed- he that is without sin- take your mouth off the man of God or just pray about it" which is just a euphemism for shut up!<br />These are sins that were continually practiced over the years and known by insiders who remained silent until it became public! <br />The church at large seems to have forgotten:<br />Have nothing to do with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather expose them - Eph 5:11Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970929433954052203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-85742576404909098862012-01-27T09:22:03.251-06:002012-01-27T09:22:03.251-06:00Interesting viewpoint.

Thanks for clarifying, but that's not wha...Ed,<br /><br />Thanks for clarifying, but that's not what you suggested previously. <br /><br />So if the question is over whether names should have been included, I think that's a valid debate, but that doesn't take away from the aim of the article or my position or vigilance in discussing the specific actions and sins of charlatans that have invaded the church.<br /><br />Let me render a parallel: the police Chief in my city some years ago made a statement suggesting that from his estimation 200 criminals were the primary causes of crime in our city and that if they would leave the city would be better.<br /><br />Now, the problem is that although one might think that the 200 are the problem, if the 200 were gone what would you have? I'll tell ya...you would have 400 more take their place...<br /><br />See this is the issue...I could name charlatans specific to these situations (and just give it some time, I will, because their sins will expose their actions), but that wouldn't come close to solving the real problem and it certainly wouldn't address the victims.<br /><br />When people worship men, as they invariably do, criminals and sinners like this can take the pulpit and deceive the church. Call a name, that doesn't solve the problem...<br /><br />I can call Leyva...I could call Paulk...and I could call Long...A succession of apostasy going back over 30 to 40 years. What's amazing is that although those names were called at the time, Leyva was still able to molest over 700 boys and run a ministry to boot, Paulk who knew Leyva, was still able to amas an over 14,000 member church and Long, who was influenced by Paulk, was still able to do even worse...<br /><br />But what of those left in their wake? Has anyone considered the thousands of lives that these shipwrecking sinners left in their wake? <br /><br />This article isn't so much as about focusing on these whores as it is about showing the deceit and what is put into deceiving the masses as these men and others have done. As I stated, read some of the other 338 articles, if you want names and supportable information, you'll find it. If you want sensationalism and aspersions and "blossip", you find it here or in anything I do. <br /><br />Thanks.District Supt.

Most of this is not easy or difficult to find. <br /><br />In fact, I'll say this, much of this was observed simply by looking at some of these characters, before information was delivered by persons more close to the situations. I struggle to believe these things. I still believe that people are saved and that saved people don;t do these things...Unfortunately, some folk we think are saved really aren't. <br /><br />I would ask the critic this:<br /><br />Have any of them ever counseled women raped by any of these charlatans?<br /><br />Have any of them counseled children and other individuals molested by these folk?<br /><br />Have any of the critics ever labored with the family fallout and upheaval that occurs as a result of the actions of these sort of charlatans?<br /><br />Have any of them ever stayed involved for hours, weeks and even months into these situations dealing with individuals who have thoughts of suicide, murder and revenge as a result of situations like these?<br /><br />I can say that I HAVE! I've been there on the front line speaking against these charlatans and have plenty of evidence to support it. Much of it is in the plain sight of the readers.<br /><br />Until they can say and show me EVIDENCE where they've battled the ENEMY at any level, I discount any of their cries for sensationalism.<br /><br />Those individuals that lay in the wake of or in the path of charlatans like these are my only concern in this article. Some folk have been damaged and mistakenly thought it was just them or their experience, they were were the "odd person" out. unfortunately, it's not a singular experience or individual who has experienced such mishandling and abuse.<br /><br />As I've stated, when names are called, unlike our dear friend ED, you best believe I'll be able to support my statements with evidence.District Supt.

Thanks for your commentary. Your's...Youngmiss,<br /><br />Thanks for your commentary. Your's is a reasonable assessment. Let me add something that may assist here:<br /><br />First, what I've learned to do is not deny what God is showing me about those whom I deal with. In every case, my suspicions or what I have been inspired to believe is correct. In other words don't be afraid of spiritual discernment but further deliver what you are thinking to God through and by prayer as to not make certain presumptions.<br /><br />Secondly, define actions within the context of God's word. When you see leaders in carnal situations promoting carnality, you best believe that deserves another look. <br /><br />Example, Kim Burrell, in her <a href="http://bethelburnett.blogspot.com/2011/05/hip-hop-idolatry-church-pt-16.html" rel="nofollow">"Sweeter" video</a>, shows up in her nightgown. Kim may talk holiness claiming that she will never "compromise, intentionally or unintentionally" and may even live right, but what we see about what she presents demands closer observation. She is not exempt from lining her presentation and actions up or in accord with scripture simply because she's a singer.<br /><br />However, to address that what can we gather? The evidence of her personal account and actions and evidence of scripture. <br /><br />As I state, God knows all of these charlatans and why they are there. one thing they are evidence of to me is a lack of discernment among God's people. It seems that the people of God have given themselves to idols and idolatry and this is destroying the church. <br /><br />Believe me, just like Eddie, there is a core group of people who know what many of these folk are involved in. They are just as responsible for their actions.<br /><br />As I commented to Jerry, on the other side of this are countless individuals who have been hurt as a result. That's the point and focus of this article. Unfortunately they aren't alone.District Supt.

You said"Sorry......338 Articles and 28 ...Ed,<br /><br />You said"<i>Sorry......338 Articles and 28 years of preaching does not impress me.(Prov. 8:13,16:18)"</i><br /><br />My commentary wasn't meant to impress, but it was meant to bring you to a more biblical understanding and open your eyes to evidence of the open facts before you which cannot be discounted. <br /><br />Neither years of service nor the over 338 articles can be discounted. God doesn't discount it and <b>you're not God.</b> In fact this is what scripture says about my OPEN efforts in battling and exposing modern apostasy:<br /><br /><b>1 Tim. 5:17~ "Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine."</b><br /><br />This is not only talking about preaching, but also representing Christ in the culture. I have done this well and as I've stated it can't be discounted by you. Why didn't you reference that scripture since you like scriptural references? Is this section to be discounted somehow? Or does your bible not contain this verse and similar verses?<br /><br />Now, I don't mind the debate of whether names should be called or not, however it's another argument to make the irrational and unfounded and arrogant assumption that you make to say that because I didn't call names in this article that I endorse evil in some way. That's a different argument and you have no support for your assertions. Those aren't biblical references, those are personal and character attacks. <br /><br />However I know this:<br /><br /><b>Ps. 37:32 ~ "The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.</b><br /><br />Are you one of the wicked watching the righteous seeking to destroy? Are you one seeking to divert from the issue of charlatans raping the church?<br /><br />So as I've asked previously support your statements with EVIDENCE, not some biblical quotes that you've applied and which are not applicable to the situation.<br /><br />Secondly, as I have repeatedly asked, you can overcome the claim of hypocrisy, which I make regarding your commentary, by producing one shred of anything that you've done in battling and standing against the apostasy of the modern church.<br /><br />Otherwise, your statements are correctly assessed as being absurd, full of hypocrisy and will be overlooked further by me as simple rants of ignorance.<br /><br />Please address my inquiry.District Supt.

Evil, sin...When good men do nothing, evil triumphs. Evil, sin and sinful men must be opposed. God commands those who are good, not just to avoid evil but actively oppose it.<br /><br />Christians are to not only to "have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but (also) reprove (expose) them" (Eph. 5:11). Those who do nothing about sin and evil, help the sin and evil to prevail. One who is silent when there are those around him in sin becomes a partaker with them (Eph. 5:7). While the conduct of these so-called people is shameful, what about those supposedly "good" men who do nothing? Those stand on the other side and do nothing but watch and talk about what is going on as their brothers are being slandered, slaughtered and devoured, they cease being innocent bystanders and idle spectators. Their failure to act not only allows evil to triumph, but makes them just as guilty as the spiritual cannibals they refuse to reprove and rebuke. In God's words, "even thou wast as one of them" (Obad. 11).<br /><br /><br /><br />Sorry......338 Articles and 28 years of preaching does not impress me.(Prov. 8:13,16:18)edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06179216776618672568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-59847583193387093672012-01-23T20:32:15.615-06:002012-01-23T20:32:15.615-06:00Pastor Burnett, I just wanted to share my admirati...Pastor Burnett, I just wanted to share my admiration for your wisdom, tact and patience in your responses, naming names in every single case is not a nesscessity, though the Bible does identify 'perpetrators' their actions and damage done to the Church are more important, through out history the names change, but actions don't, like you said, "They know who they are..!"<br />The scandals in todays church are 'front page news' we know the names, faces & places no need to be overly redundandt, please continue to use the wisdom and discernment God has blessed you with Brother!Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970929433954052203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-56747240926220745202012-01-23T18:52:03.577-06:002012-01-23T18:52:03.577-06:00What it is is this...some of these preachers, unde...What it is is this...some of these preachers, undercover and covertly, see themselves in the mix and in this article. <br /><br />Rightfully so.

Sin always exposes itself and you can't miss it. <br /><br />What if there is a police report or someone is currently under grand jury review? In fact, I believe that a grand jury can convene without the knowledge of the individual being investigated. Isn't that interesting? One thing is for sure, I've said nothing for sensation and everything I have said in over 338 articles can be supported by EVIDENCE.<br /><br />It was either given to me, or I obtained it myself.

For a minute answer this, what have you said about ANY of it?<br /><br />I have over 338 articles concerning this and other truths. Names aren't by any means avoided. Not to mention over 28 years of preaching in various local communities and countless radio programs in which I've done the same. Where is your record of tackling ANY of the issues concerning the apostasy of the modern church or any of these apostate "leaders", molesters, and crooks?<br /><br />Sounds like you are more into sensationalism rather than truth. It also seems that this article struck a particular chord enough to make you open a blogger ID just to make comment. <br /><br />So if my "double-mindedness" is your issue, what evidence can you possibly deliver to support your accusation? You see anything is easy to say, and fools do say anything, but rational discourse is another issue. <br /><br />I would appreciate a thought provoking response if a rational one can be found.District Supt.
