Heretical TV Channel Daystar Threatens Christian YouTubers For Pointing Out They Host Heretics
Heresy purveyor Daystar Television Network has employed the law firm Kelly Hart & Hallman LLP to send requests for retractions via cease and desist letters (we call them “nastygrams” as a ministry that has received more than its fair share) to several YouTube discernment ministries and social media channels that have been critical of the heretical network and the actions of their president, Joni Lamb, who is being accused of covering up and downplaying sexual abuse by her son and daughter in law, Jonathan and Suzy Lamb.
Some of these channels that have been hit with requests for “correction and retraction of statements,” with the threat of defamation lawsuits levied against them if they don’t remove the so-called “defamatory statements,” include Smart Christians Channel, Torn Curtain by Joshua Simone, Revealing Truth, Brother John Elving, and Julie Roys.
One target of the heresy promoting network, the Revealing Truth YouTube channel, received a nastygram for comments made in the video “Daystar’s Dark Secret Exposed.” In this case, the heretical channel wants a retraction for claiming that the television network is “quite similar to TBN (Trinity Broadcast Network),” that they “host all of the biggest heretics today” and that they “support heretics.”
Of course, none of these statements come anywhere close to the legal threshold for defamation. Aside from being theological judgments, they are some of the truest things that have ever been said about this network. Daystar can whine all they want about being compared to TBN, but it truth TBN would likely be an upgrade in terms of heretics-per-minute. It’s hard to deny being a heretic host when you carry programming featuring Jesse Duplantis, who previously insisted that “When you see me, you see ‘God the Father’ and ‘God incarnate’ while claiming to be the fulfillment of messianic prophesies eternally associated with Christ. The fact that Daystar’s founder, Marcus Lamb, repeatedly taught that God would heal the sickness and diseases of anyone who gave to the network doesn’t help matters.
Daystar’s list of baddies runs long, with a who’s who of prosperity heretics and false teachers that includes Sid Roth, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Jim Bakker, Marcus Lamb, Bill Winston, Perry Stone, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, TD Jakes, Andrew Womack, and Paula White.
Unfortunately, Revealing Truth has removed their initial critical video and put up an apology/retraction of sorts.
When Brother John Elving received his letter for comments he made on the scandal and controversy the network is embroiled in, he publicly ripped it up in a video. Likewise, Corey Minor of Smart Christians Channel was adamant that he would not comply.
Appears to be a culture of sexual immorality, going at least as far back to their father’s adultery. It always seemed odd to me, even as far back as I can remember in my high-school days, the charismatics tended to be the most sexually immoral. Those claiming to be the most ultra super spirit-filled, often being the most given to the flesh. When the scripture clearly says this …
“16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who doe such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. ” – Gal. 5:16-21
They will engage and delight in these things, clearly led by the flesh, and then every Sunday they’re right back in the pews vainly speaking a bunch of unintelligible, and possibly demonic, nonsense into the air that nobody understands, which is completely counter to God’s purpose for the gift in the first place (1 Cor. 14:6-19).
And they’ll get very competitive and conceited over which of them is the most spirit filled. As if the evidence that one is led by the spirit and not the flesh, is how much gibberish they can shout into the air, how well they can dance suggestively down the aisle, and how many pews they can jump in a single bound.
I have always been appreciative of all the good work that Protestia does but I take issue with your [too] long first paragraph that seems to accuse Jonathan and Suzy Lamb, who are actually the whistleblowers in this case:
“…YouTube discernment ministries and social media channels that have been critical of the heretical network and the actions of their president, Joni Lamb, who is being accused of covering up and downplaying sexual abuse by her son and daughter in law, Jonathan and Suzy Lamb.” Please issue a correction ASAP. I know of no wrongdoing by this young couple.
