Heretic Paula White Is Asking You To ‘Sow A Psalm 91 Seed’ And Send Her $91 Dollars For Her Fake Coronavirus Hospital For The ‘Spiritually Sick’
The most frustrating part of having to report on stories like these, this one today from the Huffington Post, is that I am being forced to agree on this with the Liberal atheists who rightly call out end times heretics like Paula White for the frauds and con artists that they are. False teacher Paula White has a long and checkered history of taking bible teachings and twisting them into getting you to ‘sow a seed’ to her bank account. It must work, because last time I checked she is a multimillionaire living in lavish mansions. Regular readers will recall her horrific ‘Lazarus Seed‘ heresy based on John 11:44 and the raising of Lazarus. Ugh.

In the course of what is probably our last lunch for the next few weeks due to the coronavirus, we got to talking about what a crazy, crazy year 2020 has been from the very first day. Regular listeners of our NTEB weekly radio bible study know that all through 2019, I called for 2020 to be a ‘year of incredible change’, and it is been that in spades.
