No offense to toughlove....but I have never understood the point of rating these televangelists. Is one any different from another?
They all prey on the poor and the ignorant with the same message: the more money you give me, the more the Lord will bless you. Minus the blood, these people are as bad-if not worse than- the Muslim terrorists.

I heard Hagee preach on TV that theres no excuse for people to be poor, and God gave us 12 hours in the day and 6 working days per week. Thats 72 hours a week John Q. Pew-warmer is expected to work double shifts in the widget factory so hell have tithe money to cough up to keep Hagee in clover. In the meantime that same churchgoer is expected to spend quality time with his kids, donate free time to the church, and faithfully study the Bible.  Wonder whats wrong with Hagees arithmetic?  How much time is left over after the tired worker gets home from fighting traffic, eats supper and hits the sack for a few hours? I saw Hagee holler about lazy hot-tub saints who wont even get a tin can strip for a crown in heaven. But why do TV preachers rub it in about their first-class pilgrimages to the Holy Land while REAL people have to slog it out every day at work, and can barely afford a trip to the zoo? I kinda suspect Hagee would have told the five thousand fed by Christ to git up offa that green grass and git back to WORK if they aint got nothin to eat! I read somewhere that Hagee only devotes about 16 hours a week to the work of his ministry, and hes raking in far more loot than his job is worth.  Jesus taught by example, and so should preachers. So wheres Hagees  own 72-hour workweek, unless he moonlights as a hog caller? John lives in Cloud Koo Koo Land the way he slags off on stay-at-home dads. What if the poor guy's wife is better educated and can make more money to support the family? What if the poor dad washes dishes, scrubs toilets, cooks, fixes things, runs errands and does everything else his working wife is too tired to do? Does Hagee think unpaid housework is worthless? That's an insult. In the meantime, Hagee sucks money off of poor working stiffs even while he insults them! I doubt he even knows how to scrub a toilet or anything else! I'd love to see Hagee slogging away at McDonald's for just ONE day!

Hagee is effective in his presentation of the word and what it means for us today.
He infuses humor but keeps the subject serious and relevant. He relates to all ages
and keeps our attention.

I don't like how Hagee uses propaganda to scare people into believing his bullshit.  This guy is really annoying and needs to stop yelling before his fatass gets a heart attack!  I only watch Hagee when I need a good laugh.  Give em glorah!

Pastor Hagee has done very well for a former pig farmer that has found a niche in preaching hell, fire and brimstone.

He lives in a multi million dollar home in the exclusive, gated Dominion neighborhood where former Spurs Star David Robinson lives. Why he owns two homes there, I do not know ... maybe his son lives in the smaller one. Too, he owns an 8,000 acre ranch.

Plus 14 properties in Kinney county which is deep South Texas, type in his name to sell them all -- I added the appraised value and it is $1,350,293.

http://propaccess.trueautomation.com/clientdb/Searc hResults.aspx

My family and I attended his services once and was amazed by how poor his general audience is ... not all are, of course, because I have some good friends that are high, middle class that attend too.

His type of preaching turns me off because I like to believe that God and Jesus love us and want us to follow the Bible, but Pastor Hagee preaches we all are going to HELL! Yikes, that turns me off. I guess that it is human nature to want to be beat up and he really does a good job at that!

Too, I do not like the fact that he owns the church and it is not like others as Catholic, Methodist, or others where the church owns itself and the preacher is an employee and on salary.

But, he is very successful so he must be getting the word to many -- so that can not be all bad. He is doing some good for sure by spreading the Word!

Too, I wish him a speedy recovery from his recent heart surgery.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hagee

I am glad to see him telling what Islam really is which is more than I can say for Most Methodist or Lutheran or Catholic Preachers who pander to Islamic Groups.---------------------------------------------------- John Hagee is also close friends with known False Teacher Jesse Duplantis which I think damages his credibility as a Preacher (2 John 9:11)-------------------------------------------------- Hagee is a good Bible Prophecy Teacher and believes in a Pre Trib Rapture,so I have mixed feelings on him so I give him a 2 on this poll and another reason I give him a 2 is his close friendship with Jesse Duplantis and Juanita Bynum who are 2 of the biggest false teachers in the Christian Community

Am surprised Pastor Hagee did not at least get an even 3.00.  He does a good job preaching on sin and the blood, but needs to distance himself from the word faith group.  Also he believes in a different deliverance for the Jewish peoples from Gentiles.  And he has had some infidelity issues, and scripture states that a bishop is to be the husband of one wife, but God will judge that.  For those that do not believe in the pre-tribulational rapture, check at an article at cutting edge ministries.  A well know christian (cannot remember his name offhand, but email me and I will give you the link to the article) was snuck into a seminar of the New England House of Theosophy.  During this seminar, the dark forces admitted that believers would be taken out of this dimension when their "Christ" has appeared, and would not be here on earth to partake of the "utopian world ruled by the Christ"  As James 2:19 says, the devils believe and tremble, they also know the believers will be taken out of the world by God, so not to suffer His wrath that will be poured out on the earth.  For we are not appointed to wrath.  Myself, I know that believing in the rapture or not, is not required for salvation, but we are commanded to watch for His coming.  Pastor Hagee is knowledgeable when it comes to endtimes prophecy.  There are those that deny a third temple will be built.  Oh yes, it will be built.  The unbelieving Jews WILL build this temple and begin sacrificial worship once again.  They already have the blueprints, stones cut for the foundation, vestments for the priests, and thru DNA testing have located Levite priests to serve in the temple.  In addition, a red heifer has been born after 2,000 years absence.  Several have been born in recent years, but one without blemish is required for it's ashes to purify the temple.  When antichrist defiles the temple and demands to be worshiped as God, along with his image, the Jews will realize they have been decieved, for they know that they cannot bow down to an image and God forbids them to do so.  Pastor Hagee has his personal faults, but don't we all?  God will judge accordingly.  Even so, come Lord Jesus.

Mr. Hagee is a blind, ignorant watchman. Isaiah 56:10  His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11  Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. 12  Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant. ALSO: Mr. Hagee says he does not target Jews for conversion. He really needs to read this scripture... Isaiah 52:7  How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! Did you see that Mr. Hagee??: "that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth" Mr. Hagee, what Bible are you studying from ???

Right On Pastor John!

A pompous, arrogant blow-hard. Unfortunately, he's also one who's itching to get us into WWWIII so that his perverted eschatological view can be fulfilled. Very scary guy.

He's carrying out the Great Commission!
He speaks the truth! He supports Israel!

It is not a new phenomenon the rejection of those who have the balls to stand for what they believe. John Hagees "theology" is on the spot, with a few, significant exceptions (his distorted view regarding a special dispensation for Israel, his belief in a pre tribulation rapture) but his zeal for the Gospel and his strong stand for the truths of the Bible, are his most significant virtues. I don't agree with everything he preaches, but he never compromises the basic truths and teachings of the Bible. When we manage to discern the truth from what he preaches, he is one of the best preacher of the Gospel I ever saw and listened to.

  Words that describe this man:

bombastic, proud, egotistical, hypocrite, glutton, sexist, arrogant, self-serving

Notice how these words are exact opposite of the fruit of the Spirit. 

Christians beware!  "You will know them by their fruit." 

Since Jerry Falwell went to that great neo-conservative kibbutz in the sky, this guy is the new chief tub-thumper for eternal war in the Middle East. He preaches the modern heresy of Christian Zionism. This would be fine if it didn't creep into our politics and warp our relationships in the Middle East.

Has he now annointed John McCain as the new Joshua or Gideon?

"Not afraid to preach the truth"

Just because someone isnt afraid at not being "politically correct" doesnt make them right.

A preacher/pastor is human, and yes, they sin like everyone else. But to be forced out of a church because of an affair, and to teach blatant lies about Jesus is NOT something a Pastor should do.

Too many people let their emotions interfere with letting the good Spirit drive our convictions.

God says to "test the spirits" and if some of you want to call that "judging" so be it. I will never "Judge" as only God can, but i will always make "judgements" about people because my spiritual needs demand it.

I have so much admiration for this man. He tells it like it is, doesn't mince words, and even injects a bit of humor.

Not going to make it as an evangelist. Maybe as a prophet, only time will tell.

  he would be ok if he didn't FALSE TEACH. if the rapture exiseted it would be it the BIBLE.

he's FALSE!!!

  These are pure facts about Pastor Hagee:

1. He was dismissed from the Trinity Church in San Antonio's Windcrest subdivision in 1976 when it was found out he had an affair with his secretary and got her pregnant. And he was a married man with 2 children, who you never hear about now.

2. His home is in The Dominion, just north of San Antonio off I-10, where George Strait and David Robinson also live and his is one of the smaller and more modest homes. You can find out the value of his home by going to www.bcad.org.

3. Not too long before he was dismissed from the Trinity Church, a man he had previously counseled tried to kill him, shot five times point blank, and missed.

Now for my opinion of him, I think the fire and brimstone approach is too old-fashioned and not an effective reaching tool, even for the poor and uneducated. I don't believe that those who are materially poor are cursed of God, either. God said he would supply our needs and He determines our state of wealth.  Check out Jesus' credentials. Wasn't exactly wealthy, was he?

Advocates blind devotion to Israel. Raises funds and support for those preparing to rebuild the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. Down plays or fails to mention the fact that the Dome of the Rock, Islam's third most holy site, is presently located on the Temple Mount and would have to be destroyed in order to rebuild the Temple.

I truly believe that John Hagee is an end-time prophet, whose message is to warn the church about the events that are foretold in the book of Revelations. But, that's just my opinion.
I do have to say that I hope God has mercy on those of you that so unrighteously judge John Hagee. Whether he be a man of God or not, it IS NOT your place to judge him. God will judge him when he stands before the throne of judgment.
Christ said in Matthew 7:1, that we should "Judge not, lest ye be judged". This statement is explained to be one against the kind of hypocritical, judgmental attitude that tears others down in order to build oneself up.
Paul also says in I Corinthians 4:4-5, that God is to be our final judge. It is tempting to judge fellow Christians, evaluating whether or not they are true followers of Christ. But, only God knows the heart of a person, and He is the only one that has the right to judge.
Exodus 20:16, tells us that we are not to "bear false witness against our neighbor". This commandment was later talked about by Christ in Matthew 12:36-37. In these verses, Jesus is basically saying, "every idle word that men speak, they will give an account of on the day of judgement. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned".
There are so many scriptures pertaining to the subject of righteous and unrighteous judgement; but, I'm not here to preach. I'm here to repeat the greatest commandment given to us by Jesus Himself. "Love one another as I have loved you".
Let God judge John Hagee in the day of judgement. If he is not a true prophet of God, then the blood of the innocent lost will be on his hands. Don't let your words of judgement cause you to miss the rewards that God has in store for you.

I don't find any Biblical justification for a man to stand up for 45 minutes and preach to a group believers anyway. Paul did it after returning from a 3 years absence, but that is it, what I do find in the first century is shared giving (1Cor:14:26) of spiritual gifts not one professionally trained orator/salesman hogging the spotlight. What everyone knows as clergy actually comes from Rome, which comes from Babylon along with Sunday worship and all the holidays. American Christianity is mostly pagan from start to finnish, and traditions are proudly protected. I have yet to meet a "pastor" who could teach or a teacher who could pastor....something is really wrong. I believe many christians are going to be supprised that most of their clergy will not be in heaven because they acted as an instead of Christ (antichrist) in the congregation.

Give him praise and glor-ah!

Fearless, unafraid to preach against sin. Could use an injection of kindness though.

I used to watch his father ,and when John started out under his fathers wing, it was touch and go and through the years .It has been very uplifting to see what a powerful voice he has become , He fears nothing and expresses his viewpoints bluntly and explicitly.  He has really touched the people with the gift of getting the Message out to the public about our Saviour.

I listened to Mr. Hagee for a couple of years and e njoyed his teachings most of the time.  I learned s ome things from this man.  My solo star is about hi s attitudes involving respect for women.  Time afte r time he "jokes" about women shopping or being gre edy in some way.  The last straw was listening to h is accusation that women practice witchcraft on the ir husbands to get fur coats and other big gifts.   Heaven help us!  Witchcraft?  Now I see he's passin g the Family Business on to his son, so I guess the  circus will continue.

I used to watch him on Cornerstone TV years ago, and while I enjoyed many of his sermons, I never was fully enthrawled with him.

It wasn't until I met him at a service at Musicland in Anaheim, CA a number of years back that I felt that his pompous and self-important attitude became clear.  I won't go into the details, but out of all the TV ministers I have ever 'met', he was by far the least likeable in person.

Besides him, he also teaches a number of doctrines I do not believe are Biblical based on prayerful study.

Oh, on an up-note, he does play a mean Saxaphone!

I'd never heard of the guy, but after reading Enkidu's comments I looked him up.

Repellent, fearmongering, greedy and rapacious. Not even enough moral standards to be called an ideologue.

I love John Hagee, have always loved preachers who teach the hard truth without fear. John Hagee is very smart and knows the word of God inside and out.

An expert with a strong yet digestable style. Not afraid to speak the truth.

I rate John Hagee with 3 stars because I appreciate his efforts in supporting Israel as a nation. They need the support. I also appreciate his zeal - although it lacks knowledge. I just wish he would separate himself from the TBN & Word/Faith crowd. I think he could do so much better if he weren't trying to hold back for the sake of his listening audience for fear that he'll say somethign offensive which would cause him to be removed from the station.

He comes on a little strong sometimes but in a secular world that is doing everyting they can to mute the message of the bible and the cross ...that is probably the intensity that is needed.

I had the interesting experience of flying cross-country a few days ago, seated next to a woman who was reading a book entitled "Countdown, Jerusalem."

She wanted me to read a paragraph.  "Ooh, this is frightening!  don't *you* think so too?  What can we do to stop these people?"  I read, and I paraphrase:  "...for five years they have had the opportunity to infiltrate us, to live among us, to pretend to be Americans, to try to convert others to Islam; they may even be your friends or neighbors, people you trust, but little do you know that they plan to explode nuclear weapons in many cities:  and a list of the cities they have targeted for destruction by suitcase nuclear bombs includes Dallas, Atlanta, ..."  and so forth.

Having never heard of John Hagee (I looked up the name after getting home) I asked a couple of things:  "Can you name a single example in military history where an organization as strong as this one, as he describes it, has allowed itself to be pounded into splinters, without ever mounting a counterattack?  if they had assets, don't you think they'd have used them by now?"  and then:  "So, does this person stand to gain financially by making people afraid?"  She didn't talk to me again.

After getting home I looked him up and learned just how much money he makes off of the frightened little lemming-creatures that crowd into his megachurch and implore his protection.  I'm sorry, but I'm not only disgusted by this kind of demagoguery, it is quite dangerous:  for the people who crowd into these places out of fear, thinking only of being safe in an "afterlife", will make decisions not in the best interest of the survival of the human race.

John Hagee reminds me of a used car salesperson.  Albeit, he seems to know what he's talking about. But for the ones who know Scripture, they can see through his many aberrant teachings on the pre-trib rapture myth, the bogus prosperity doctrine, and the  no-salvation for the Jews through Jesus Christ doctrine.  When it comes to most any Scriptural teachings, he is not considered trustworthy and has to be carefully screened.  Hagee's ostentatious presence and robust life style leaves me sickened when I envision the poor, the hungry and those in need here in the States.  Those who are sound in the understanding of the Holy Scriptures can easily see through John Hagee's facade of churchianity.  --- Ken Parks, ETC Ministries

Show Johnnboy the $$$$$$$$.  I see he's leaving the Biz to his porky son, who sounds just like dear old Dad.  Isn't coveting wealth spoken about in the Bible....oh that's right we cut that part out of the American Bible. MANY SHALL BE DECEIVED.

I find it very funny how almost everyone rate John as horrible. The fact that people go looking for a site to talk trash about him.
We should all realize that he loves the Lord and works for him everyday of his life, not just on sundays, not just when people decide to go to church and feel warm and fuzzy on sunday. The bible says that we are to preach Christ crucified, and John does it with boldness. THE BIBLE IS OFFENSIVE, BUT IT IS TRUTH. John preaches the word faithfully and God word never returns void. I personally believe he is a great preacher, and yes he does preach nouthetically with boldness, but he beieves all the right things and doesnt just preach what the new world wants to hear, so they dont feel so guilty about their sins.

Most people who are posting on this site that John is a bad preacher and posts everything he owns and his salary up are probably just people who hang crosses around their neck, go to church on sunday and talk about the latest gossip in the church.

Im glad John is blessed by God, I bet most of you dont know that he came out of living in a garage, with only a few dollars in his pocket, trusting in the Lord.

God Bless all of you and I hope that if you don't knwo the Lord you will come to have a relationship with him. Seek him diligently. He loves you and stands at the door and knocks...let him in.

That there are moral and ethical concerns with Hagee and a serious question as to his being biblically qualified as a pastor and teacher are not the main issues of this article. However, one very important factor should be noted. The Liberty Flame reported in May 1994 that during the time when Hagee was serving the Charismatic congregation at Trinity Church (1976) in San Antonio, he divorced his wife, resigned and married a young woman in the congregation, Diana Castro. Custody of Hagees two children by his ex-wife, Martha, went to her.

As the nonprofit organization's president, Hagee drew $540,000 in compensation, as well as an additional $302,005 in compensation for his position as president of Cornerstone Church, according to GETV's tax statements. The John Hagee Rabbi Trust includes a $2.1 million 7,969-acre ranch outside Brackettville, with five lodges, including a "main lodge" and a gun locker. It also includes a manager's house, a smokehouse, a skeet range and three barns. Taken together, his payment package, $842,005 in compensation and $414,485 in benefits, was one of the highest, if not the highest, pay package for a nonprofit director in the San Antonio area in 2001. .. Hagee's compensation was among the highest pay packages for television evangelists in 2001, according to IRS 990 filings In Addition Hagees wife Diana Hagee received compensation of $67,907 as vice president of GETV and $58,813 as the special events director for Cornerstone Church.

Look! The Fat Man tells jokes! In Church too!

I don't think I've ever heard such a mean and hateful preacher as hagee. I wonder if he yelled at his kids the same way he yells in the pulpit. I laugh when I see his son Matthew preach. He looks like he was beat physically and emotionally into that profession, and tries to be so much like his daddy. Perhaps after john dies, he'll come up with his own "Daddy Dearest" book.

I think it rather comical to watch his preaching:  His voice rises to a fever pitch.....and then the audience claps for 5 minutes.  What's that all about?  And now he has that M.D. on his program who is his son-in-law coming out with a book a week on every disease know to science..  Keep it in the family, Hagee!  Hagee, please don't yell anymore.  You're blood pressure can't take it.  And I wonder if his son-in-law Dr. Colby can help him with his gluttonous waist line.  I do believe that's a sin too.  Is it not?  Seems he never talks about that.  Mmmmm!

This is one mean man. I'm looking for him to drop the "F" bomb in one of his sermons! All that darn screaming and yelling. You can literally see his veins sticking out of his neck when he goes on the rampage.

Ohhhhh you've gotta hand it to John! You'd think he would have been finished after he dumped his wife for a younger bimbo, but ohhhhh no not these days. As long as what you PREACH fits in with the religious right mantra, what you actually DO is irrelevant. Any attacks to you character or motives are "Satan's attacks on an 'annointed' man of God." I so want in on this racket. It's foolproof--as long as you don't go TOO far.

Yes, John has figured out how to get thousands of his stupid sheep to keep sending him money. He lives in a mansion and is the highest compensated head of a non-profit organization in the whole state of Texas. Ever wonder?

All respect to John and no respect to his stupid minions. You're basically working your a**es off to fill his pool. The rest of us just watch you from a distance and laugh our tails off. HALLELUJAH TO THE LAMB OF GOD!

I only lament that pastors like Rick Warren, who live modestly, teach, you know, Christianity instead of partisan right-wing politics, and donate just about all their wealth to the poor and needy are putting the John Hagees of the world out of business. Sigh. Maybe someday soon I'll be able to pick up the Prophetess Juanita Bynum on a Hollywood Blvd. corner dirt cheap.

Does anyone have a site I can go to and find where he lives, how he lives. My dad has given him over $100,000 for the return of the Jews cause, I am sickened at the public display, I want my dad to see the light. It's so sad.
All for public display, and no he has not given his children a dime in 50yrs. We dont' put his picture in the paper

Hagee is one of the most vehement, unforgiving preachers on TV. His sermons are almost like childish temper tantrums. He yells at sinners at the top of his lungs, proclaiming(Sometimes with glee and satisfaction)that if they don't stop sinning, then they're going to burn in hell forever(He once declared "There surely IS a hell...and YOU'RE GOING," with a response of laughter and applause from his congregation, as though it's humorous that people are being tortured forever). Jesus when He walked the earth, was the total opposite of Hagee. While Hagee's harsh words and contempt is towards sinners, Jesus' anger was toward RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. It was the religious leaders He called serpents, sons of hell, offspring of satan, while he was kind, loving and even DINED with sinners. He's yet another televangelist that peddles the gospel.

Markets prophesy. Emotional manipulator. Makes people feel good, then sells his books while they are crying.

Now this is one fat piece of work. overfed and full of crap-o-la. he's one who gets louder and louder the deeper his BS gets. you know when he snap those fat little fingers and hollows he telling a lie. he's just a sick fat slot who needs a day of real work. Listened to him last night. least as much of his BS as I could stand. Hey John, in America, the bible is not even above the constitution. Idiot. Another episode. Tonight he was ranting and raving on the Harry Potter book series. It's all full of "witchcraft" and all other manner of bad, bad things. Does anyone take this serious, witches? What planet is he on, or for that matter, what century. Witches? Hey John, Boo!
Have you seen the movies he promote? I'll have to give him credit here. More GREAT comedy! "Escape from Hell" is the title. I bet getting out of a theater after watching this junk would be an escape. When you have to appear in one of his movies, the old acting career has about hit rock to have hit bottom. LOL
Caught him again last night. NOW he is an authority on marrage and relationships. Where do the people get this BS?
I have finally decided the man is just retarded.
I caught Hagee last night and watch about as much as I could stand. First thing, the knot head and his church need to lose their TAX EXEMPT status. Pure politics for Israel. The man has a hard on for us getting into a war to "save Israel." He even said bad, bad things about the rights poster boy, Bush. Someone needs to clue the IRS in on his policital BS!
Hey! The Hagee Hugger who wrote me. You need to do the research on this ding dong.
Have you see his son? Caught him "preaching" last night. What can I say, Like father, like son, or Chip off the old block." Just another fat ass!
I bet with all the fighting in the middle east, he's sitting back reading his bible and wacking off. He thinks the army of "Jeeeesus" is going to come down any minute and kick ass all over the middle east. At the least, we should send troops to help...LOL
Well now he had a book explaining it all. Some crap called "Jerusalem Countdown." In the ad he gives all the bible quotes for what is happening in the middle and his time table for the end of time. Of coure all the information and insight come at a price, like $40 via one of the bible thumper's programs. Do people really buy this junk and send this fool money?
Hey Hagee. If you love Iseral so much, why don't you take you fat kosher ass over there and stay and fight with 'em.

He has mostly a good message but I can't watch him anymore. It makes me sick when he snaps those fat fingers.

OOH

the best

I once heard him say, in his usual belligerent style, "There is not one verse in the Bible that says think positive." Well, excuse me, Mr. Hagee, try this on for size: "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever
is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things." (Philippians 4:8).

So he doesn't know the Bible all that well, plus
he's loud, rude, and just about anti-everybody, not very Christ-like qualities at all.
