I watched one of the Swaggart members trying to sell $500 Bible with the "ministry" slogan......
"Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature"
Now we know they've hijacked these words from the Scriptures and applied them to themselves. I KNOW that God wasn't talking to the Swaggarts in Mark 16 nor Matthew 28. I also know that God wasn't talking to any living person on this earth when Jesus spoke those words to His disciples.
Why is it that when people read those words, they apply them to themselves instead of believe it applied to the exact people Jesus spoke to?
There has been much prestige, power and money made through the idea that modern "ministries" are fulfilling when Jesus commissioned the early church to do. They were successful in fulfilling that commission.
There is not one single Scripture that says that the Gospel must be preached to every person of all generation. Not one. Yet, that is exactly what is being taught today. People want to find value in believing they're helping fulfill what God required of OTHERS.... Nothing more.
