I agree with you. Remember in the Bible God says "I will give you pastors after my own heart. Do not discount the gift of a pastor because God has prepared pastors for us, don't paint all the pastor with this Jamal Bryant brush. Unfortunately when the media decides to highlight the church or people of God it all too often only highlights the negative. There are many who truly live by God's Word and correctly teach it, I'm not at all endorsing Mr. Bryant, but I would like to remind everyone that Jesus himself taught in Matthew 7:15-17 that there would be false prophets and He told us how to recognize them.
Finally, I would like us to take a look at ourselves and examine what it is we folk to and support. I knew an old AME preacher, he wasn't well known, didn't preach at the "big" churches he had what is called a circuit (several small churches) on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, he lived in the Baltimore area. He shared with me at times the people he served begrudged him gas money (why do we treat people this way?). He was faithful though and continued to serve these people, married their child and buried their loved ones visited them while they were sick, in short he helped maintain the religious aspect of their culture, yet they did not even want to purchase his gas. There was a small AME church in Cockeysville, where the pastor paid the oprating bills of the church out of her own pocket (we never hear about these types of scandals). I was part of a ministry where we paid the intial cost of getting people in drug and alcohol treatment, we paid for their HIV medicince and toiletries, while they were in treatment and when they came out they joined a church much larger than ours because it was in waliking distance (this type of activity would never be extensively talked about why?), yet it did not have any type of outreach. Mr. Bryant's ministry is pretty worldly with its advertising and materialistic imagery does what it is designed to do attract people and compels them to give, it is marketing at its best perhaps this is why it is so materialistically succeseful. At any rate it is the people who stay at ET, and support it (only heaven knows why), and if they continue to support it the real question is why? Maybe if the pastor is so imperfect in front of the world putting Christ to an open shame, they can look at their own immoral behaviors and feel that its out to be married, but live with a man whose not your husband. What can a pastor like this one say them about their behaviors, couldn't answer him like the Hebrew slave answered Moses the day after he killed the Egyptian overseer?

We need to send emails protesting their story on Jamal.
Ebony needs to start telling the truth. The whole truth, and stop being used as propoganda machines for the black elite and "stars". I will post the email address on this website when I get a chance. Come on people. Lets show our media that we expect more from them.

To all who reads this. I will be standing in the gap for Pastor Jamal Bryant and The Empowerment Temple AME Church. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty.(Psalms 91:1) I pray that the anointing on Pastor Jamal Bryant will touch Tropix.com and show the people of God how to pray and stand up for what is right. I believe with my heart and soul that Pastor Byant has committed no sin. In fact the BIBLE says he without sin cast the first stone. How can you look at the speck in someone elses eye when you have a log in your own. Before you judge someone look in the mirror. Thank you all for reading!! God Bless You, Evangelist Standing by Pastor Jamal Bryant 100%. |

Thank you I stand on that with you 100%. Pastor Jamal Bryant is covered in the blood. No weapon formed against him shall prosper. God Bless You my child, Evangelist |

I am sure that is what the money changers, the Pharisees and Scribes said when Jesus grabbed a whip and kicked over their tables. Do you all forgive the priests, mministers and rabbis that have been accused of abuse? Or is your forgiveness saved for those who give "powerful sermons?" Do any of you serial "forgivers" have any recollection of what He said when He kicked them out of his temple.
TIME to kick up some dust in this temple! Now that's NUff Said |

Precious 7, Deception is mother, and hell is real. Wake up before it's too late!!! Jamal Bryant admitted that he sinned. I don’t know what Bible you read or church you attend but I sincerely pray that the Lord will remove the scales from your eyes and give you understanding.(key – you must really want it!!!) Sexual immorality is JHB’s vice. God gave us specific instructions on how to deal with sexual immorality in the church. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit. Colossians 3:4-6 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you." If you notice, the entire first epistle to the Corinthians is dealing with carnality. In other words, the message of the cross should transform lives of those who claim Jesus Christ as their Lord and Personal Savior. However, much like the people of Corinth, most Black people who attend mega churches are destroying their own testimony because of immorality and lack of unity. God loves and forgives JHB. However, someone within the congregation should fear God enough to stand up and demand that he step down or be removed. The sad thing is that their silence is sanctioning his sexual immoral behavior and now those within leadership of the church will also have to give an account. I pray that God gives you grace, strength and wisdom to stand for what is Holy and what is righteous. |

What an awesome post, Pretty Eyes. Be blessed. |

Ummm,Precious we get the point. However, admirable your loyalty, your multiple postings suggests a slight obsession with Jamal.
Anyway, I read the article and it make no mention of the daughter Naomi, and lists at least twice that Jamal received a Ph.D from Oxford...which is erroneous. That reporter should have done a better job investigating her story and making sure she got her facts straight. |

Look in the mirror before you speak about Jamal Bryant. Why is his business so important to you. I stand up for the man of God. My BIBLE tells me that a just man falleth 7 times and get back up and gets back in line. Evangelist |

Mr or Ms. Evangelist, Please hear me and hear me clearly. Everyone on this blog is NOT gossipping or trying to tear down JHB. Some of these people are talking out of hurt because they put their confidence in someone that let them down. Now I can see someone that has been in church for a while, but those that are babes in Christ may not be able to handle this and this is there way of expressing their hurt. You're not talking like a mature person in the Lord right now and to hog up the blog is very immature. Finally, Its a difference to fall and to willfully sin. It's a difference! and I believe that if the holy spirit is in JHB that it should had convict him before he committed the sin. When are we going to stop taking up for sinners? We're not helping them by taking up for them. Yes pray for them but they must be held accountable like each of us when we sin. I will say one thing I heard John Hagee said on TBN earlier today, "Judgement is Coming to America" and it's going to start in the church! |
I'm all for free speech, but you don't have to say the same thing over and over again. We get it. None of us are slow! We can read. One post does the job. No need to be extra. WE GET IT! |

No matter how much scripture we can give or how much we can try to explain to a person some people will always feel that we're trying to condemn but rather bringing out the truth. I'm not saying that people don't make mistakes but it's a big difference in making mistakes that to purposely and willfully sin. God is exposing a lot of things in this season. It's time for people to wake up and do more than just fast and pray. We're in Spiritual Warfare! I just want to know What happened to the Fear of God? Where are the Seasoned Men & Women of God that only stood for Holiness? |
