Paid (Cine Artists) Preachers in Christendom.

In the year 2011, this Picture came in the News. Music Director S.M JayaKumar ( Music Director Harris Jeyaraj's father) heads a Christian University called Apostolic University. This university provides various degree certificates that includes PhD degrees also. The picture above was taken during the Convocation day in that University on 23 September 2011. Actor Senthil was the chief guest at the event. [ link ] He was introduced as " The Comedian Actor Senthil who has now accepted Jesus Christ as personal Saviour". Many Christians were happy to know that Actor Senthil had accepted Jesus Christ as personal Saviour. 

After two years, on 23rd March 2013, Actor Senthil celebrated his 60th Birthday (Arubadhaam Kalyanam) with his wife in a pure Hindu Ceremony.  ( Sashtiapdapoorthi). [ link ]. 

This came as a surprise to some many Christians who had earlier believed that Actor Senthil had accepted Christianity. But this news did not create big waves and soon disappeared into thin air.

After 6 months, in the October of 2013, Actor Senthil was again invited to share his testimony in a Christian Convention where Actor Kumarimuthu shared the message( 20th October 2013). This Kumarimuthu shared a beautiful sermon from the pulpit; but after getting off from the stage started smoking (Those who know Kumarimuthu know that he is a chain smoker and he has not quit smoking even now). Actor Senthil also shared a soul stirring Testimony of how God touched him and brought him out of the clutches of the sinful world. The poster that was printed to Invite the audience for the meeting is attached below. It is in Tamil. Those who understand Tamil will understand what is advertised in the poster.

The very next month Actor Senthil became a staunch Hindu and participated in Karthikai Dheepa Thiruvizha in November 2013 (The Dhinakaran newspaper report - Dated 18th November 2013 captures this news)

If you are not able to view the News clearly, the following picture will be helpful. Many Christians are not aware of this stage acting enacted by these stage actors and are still encouraging these actors to preach in Christian conventions.

To make matters worse, Senthil and Kumarimuthu travelled all the way to Bengaluru and started cheating the public with their false testimonies. This happened on the 8th -12th January 2014.

Other Actors who have joined the wagon of preaching and sharing testimonies on stage include Actor Anand Babu and Actor RamaRajan.

Actors who have lost the market in the cine Industry are getting a good pay in Christian stages these days for sharing testimonies. They are paid between Rs 2 Lakhs to Rs 5 Lakhs by the organisers of the conventions; and for these cine artists it is yet another stage for them to perform.

Gone are the days when Sound doctrines were preached in Conventions and people got conviction from the messages. Today it has become an emotional game where stage actors tell emotional testimonies and make the audience to cry. The Organisers of the Conventions get their part (Offertory). The Average Christian becomes the fool.

Before allowing these EX-s on stages in Christian Conventions, if the organisers can also do a quick check on the following points , it would of great help

1) Has the speaker (EX - what ever) has taken baptism
2) Is He/She in a fellowship
3) Do they have a morally stable and good life.
4) Are they continuing in fellowship.
5) What is their belief system

If none of these are checked , we would in deed have more Kumarimuthus ( Chain Smoking Christian preacher), Senthil (Who preaches in a Christian Convention on a Monday and then goes and attends a Kumbabishekam as a fanatic bhakthan on Wednesday) speaking in the stages. There have been Nagmas and Mohinis in the past. Of course the crowd will come to see these actors. Their movies are now not running in cinema theatres. It is running in Christian Convention stages.

Rajnikanth embraces Christianity?

A few months ago, some Christian groups shared a video on Facebook. The title of the video was "Rajnikanth accepts Christianity".

Out of curiosity I clicked that video and watched the 3 minute video to see what Rajnikanth actually said. In that Video, he narrates a short story about Thomas Edison the scientist who was reading the Holy Bible in a train journey.

Rajni went on to give some more examples to stamp the reality of the existence of God. After seeing the video, I read some of the comments in which lot of Christians commented "Amen" , "Praise be ye to God", " Rajni is a Christian now" ,"Hallelujah".

See the 3 minute video here

After seeing the video, I did a search to find out the context in which Rajini had made that speech. I found that this 3 minute video was actually ripped off from a 18 minute long speech given by Rajnikanth during  S Ramakrishnan'S Felicitation function in which he actually talks about Ramakrishnan and then goes on to talk about many religious pointers.

Here is the part 1 Video of the full speech given by Rajni.

What saddens me is that Some Christians just cut a portion of a video and post it on social media platforms and create a false news. Next time when you see a video like this in the social media platform; just do not blindly believe it and write an Amen in the comment section. Please do some background research to find whether the news is true.

Off late many Cine actors are used by Christian preachers to promote their ministry. Some of them are Comedian Senthil, Comedian Kumarimuthu, Actress Nagma, Actor Ramarajan. The list is long. I have done enough research and background study to find that these people mentioned in this post have not accepted Christ as their personal savior. So do not believe when you hear them sharing their testimony in some stage. It has become a big business these days.

Test Every Spirit to see whether it is from God. 

Do not be deceived.

Like a thief in the night he will come

Today, my wife told me that some family friends will be visiting us in 30 minutes. When she told me this, I looked around the drawing room and it was in a mess. My daughter's toys were lying on the floor, the papers were scattered and a pile of clothes were on the sofa. Immediately I looked at the clock and made a mental calculation of the time that would take to clean the room. 

Both of us sprung into action. We cleaned the drawing room in 15 minutes. To give the finishing touches, I sprayed some room freshener. The room looked great. The guests came in and they appreciated the manner in which we maintained our house.

They did not know that the drawing room is the only room that was clean. All the mess that was in the drawing room was now dumped in the bed room.

As I was thinking about the evening, I thought to myself, "If only I had kept the house clean at all times, I need not worry about sweeping things under the carpet as I did in the evening", 

1) All of us are like this drawing room. We all have dirt in this room. Some keep the room often and keep it clean. These are the people who have a regular personal walk with God. 

2) There are some other people who clean the room like I did today. These are the people who do not have a personal walk with God. But they know God. They wait till the last minute. They try to portray themselves as good in the eyes of others. They dump the dirt and sin in a corner of their heart and show only the good side to others. But things will come out some day.

3) The third category of people never care about what others think about them. They carry the sin with pride in their hearts.

The first category of people are those who are with a fire for God.

The third category of people are those who are cold.

The second category of people are the lukewarm type of people. They try to portray themselves as people who are on fire for God. But it is a false fire. God will puke them out of his mouth.

Which category do we belong to? Jesus will come like a thief in the night. When he comes to judge the living and the dead, would we be ready to meet him and share in his eternal glory? Let us introspect ourselves and may God give us the grace so that we fall under the first category of people.

I WAS a fan of Benny Hinn ( Testimony of an ex-Benny Hinn addict)

Many friends ask me why I go strong against Christian preachers?  " They are PREACHERS and they are used by God to bless many people. In such a case, why do you call them as false preachers? " - This is one common question that is posed to me.  

Many Christians are comforted by the false teachers through their messages. Yes many Christians even have received healings from diseases. So automatically many Christians will believe these people as servants of God.

Let me tell you my story.

I was a big time fanatic of Benny Hinn in 2008. I have read all his books. Good morning Holy Spirit (GMHS), welcome holy spirit, anointing, he touched me etc... I used to quote paragraphs of many of his writings. Even my initial spiritual understanding was based on his book good morning holy spirit. When ever I met any new believer, I would present the book "Good morning holy spirit" to those people. My only dream then , was to stand in a stage and make people fall down. That was what I considered as Christianity then.

Then one day, I was chatting with a friend on GTALK (August 2008)[ He is in my friend list on facebook] and when I asked him to read GMHS, he retorted and said "Beware of Benny Hinn". I could not take that and I got angry with him . I considered myself as spiritually superior because of the spiritual manifestations that was happening through me at that time. So I could not even digest the fact that someone could say that Benny Hinn was wrong. But he said only one thing, "Prason, next time you read GMHS again, please take a bible and keep it next to you. When ever Benny Hinn quotes any verse in his book, just read that verse in the bible and see on what context the verse is written in the bible. You yourself discern his writings. I will not tell anything bad about him"

I was very angry with him and hence did not heed to him. In the next few weeks , I came across many video preaching messages of Benny Hinn and my love for him grew more and more. On youtube, one can find related videos too. While was watching one such video, I came across some related videos which labelled Benny Hinn as a false prophet. When I saw those videos my blood boiled and I used to write nasty comments on those videos and used to warn all the people who talked bad about benny hinn. But later when I started seeing more videos, I started having mild doubts about Benny Hinn. But still my love for him overshadowed the doubts and I was in denial. The more videos I saw about his financial fraudulence, unscriptural manifestations, beating people with his coat, multiple false prophecies, my doubts increased and this is when I decided to read the book GMHS again; but this time along with the Bible.

When I started this exercise, I discovered that Benny Hinn had used Bible verses totally out of context, just to prove his personal experiences and his teachings. Some of the twsisted teachings of Benny Hinn from the book are

• Benny Hinn hits people with his coat. He uses a bible verse Acts 19:12 -(Paul's apron curing the people) to justify his arrogant act.
• He also gives an appearance to the unseen God. "What was the appearance of God the Father? Like that of a man...God has the likeness of fingers and hands and a face." (Good Morning Holy Spirit, (Benny Hinn, Word, 1991, p. 82)"
• Benny Hinn goes on to say that laughing in spirit is from God. He justifies all the wierd rolling and laughing experiences with the biblical example of Stephen. He writes that Stephen laughed when he was stoned to death

Also there are many more twisted verses when he explains prophecy, tongues and other gifts. When I was reading all these, I was broken down to bits. "The man I loved so much is false? " " Whom should I trust? " Questions started running around in my head. Then I came to know about all his failed false prophecies. Some of his false prophecies are

1. Orlando Christian Center, Dec. 31st, 1989.

"The Spirit tells me - Fidel Castro will die - in the 90's. Oooh my! Some will try to kill him and they will not succeed. But there will come a change in his physical health, and he will not stay in power, and Cuba will be visited of God."

2.Orlando Christian Center, Dec. 31st, 1989.

"The Lord also tells me to tell you in the mid 90's, about '94-'95, no later than that, God will destroy the homosexual community of America. [audience applauds] But He will not destroy it - with what many minds have thought Him to be, He will destroy it with fire. And many will turn and be saved, and many will rebel and be destroyed."

3. Jesus will appear physically in this meeting

Jesus never appeared in his meeting. This happened in Nairobi, Kenya.

On May 24th, 2000 - This Is Your Day program on TV, he Suddenly said this, "You know what days these are? The days of Elijah. We are in the days of Elijah! Fire is falling down from heaven!"

This teaching by Benny Hinn has made lot of young preachers to adopt the same lingo. They shout "FIRE FIRE" from stage.

Then later I read his other books and found them to be equally misleading.When I found that his teachings were false, his prophecies were false and also his family life was in tatters, I was devastated.  It was such a shocker for me and it was hard for me to digest the fact that Benny Hinn was completely wrong. But God was gracious with me and he picked me out of the bondage of Benny Hinn and slowly my eyes were opened to different kinds of false teachings by different false teachers.

When I started vocal-ling out about this, people started saying that I am talking about a christian preacher and God will be angry with me for this ( I used to do the same thing in 2008). The same people to whom I presented with GMHS book in 2008 are now big time fanatic of Benny Hinn and they see me with contempt and hatred( Many are in my FB friends list. Few have deleted me and a few have blocked me). It is very hard to melt a stone heart. Only when Christians are willing to see the truth, they will understand the truth or else they will live in denial for eternity.

Only when we see things through the light of scripture, with a broken and contrite heart, we will ever learn from God. Once you stand for truth, people will label you as a maniac and a criticizer and also as an accuser. People will also call you as a proud guy , Know-it-all idiot. But once we are faithful to God and once we obey God in His calling, then we will not worry about what people say about us. Satisfying God becomes our first priority. We might have to pay the price of losing friends, entering into the bad books of many people and be labelled as a popularity-seeking guy. But let us keep only one thing in mind- "The one who has called us is faithful and when we are faithful to him, nothing else matters".

Why Christian preachers disobey basic commands of Jesus?

Jesus told this

Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.  But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,  so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Matthew 6:1-4

But today Christian preachers are doing this

Why do these Christian preachers blatantly disobey the words of Jesus?

1) It is because they want to be popular.

2) It is because they do ministry for business

3) They can use these photos in which they pose as if they are helping others for raising funds

4) They serve themselves and not Jesus.

Jesus hates such ministries. But still these people use the name of Jesus in their ministries and do business. God will judge them on his day. Let us not pass judgment on these guys. Their deeds judge themselves.
