As to why the gravatar don’t transfer on some blogs. It’s because some blogs set their plugin to cache these pictures. I think overtime they should be updated, if the plugin is setup correctly.

There must be an application that one must need, I am thinking… although I am computer heretic!

Bob might know… He is a bit of a computer guy, and he has his own… with William Wallace… so Bob, help out us little guys with a link or an explanation… Ta!

However, I think in this case, there has been enough testimony, particularly from Tamaki’s own mouth to have a fair understanding of at least the trajectory of his thinking.

Ozy, I am interested in some elaboration of your words when you say many of the scenes found at Destiny could be found at Hillsong.

I have sung and listened to many of their music CD’s historically, but have not been to any of their gatherings, or read any of their books, but some years ago, I heard something from one of Houston’s books that indicated a form of the prosperity Gospel.

I am not sure if you have read many of his books, or heard many of his messages, but I would be interested to hear your take on this Oz!

I have been to the hillsong conference and if a video was taken in there, many of the same scenes from Destiny Church could have been found. Likewise going to an All Black rugby game and videoing isolated aspects could be seens as starnge to someone not used to the customs of that culture.

I would listen to his sermons probably only to get a better handle on the man, as my perception is that expository preaching would not be his modus operandi [but I stand to be corrected on that one]!

Cheers Robert for long, as Bob is for short!

But those Kingship thing just doesn’t seem right and seem a bit extreme. And (as Ozy said) the too much focus on Tamaki and not enough on Jesus is also not right.

May be I should pop in to their church sometime

Campbell was quite combative, which generally brings more heat than light, although he covered some details like the giving issue, which I thought was helpful!

This is also why I preferred the Sainsbury interview, which included Vrankovich, as each of the individuals had time to speak, which allowed them to better make their point, and give us a better insight into what is really going on!

What is your take on the Tamaki topic Bob?

When John Campbell said he was raised in a Christian family and said that the church he went to wasn’t anything like Destiny church, I was hoping the Destiny guy had asked: So are you a Christian now?

Agreed, gotta keep the Main thing, the Main thing.

It sounds so simple, but it is amazing how we in the Church can obscure the Main thing!

Your comments reminds me of something Vrankovich said when certain individuals had attended Destiny… they counted that Jesus was mentioned 2 times… while Brian Tamaki was mentioned 102 times!

If such is correct, this exemplifies scary!
