Christian Industrialists have a
rather schizophrenic way of presenting themselves.
The bizarre aspect in this is, that most of them
do not even realize just how schizophrenic they
actually are, in their statements.
An Industry
Professional may call himself a "minister".
The reason is -more often than not- that
Christians have to be tricked into believing that
it is their Christian Duty to "support the
ministers" by buying their products.
This very same Christian
Industrialist may also present himself as "industry professional".
He can even
change from being a "minister" into an
"industry professional" in one
conversation. When you adress him as a minister,
he would respond as an Industry professional and so you can never reach out to
him. (See
In-depth analysis of one example)
A few well-known ministers from the days of the
early church are Paul and Peter, the apostles. But
there are many more. The Bible mentions how there
are teachers, prophets, apostles (missionairies),
elders and deacons.
Now when you meet someone who works in/for the
Christian Industry, chances are big that they
would present themselves to you as a "minister".
They would tell you, how "God told them"
to start their business enterprises and they will
tell you how "God wants you" to buy
their products rather than the "secular"
products which they imitate.
Now, these "ministers" may even
believe in their own story. They might truly
believe, that "God told them" to start
their business. And fair enough, a supernatural
source could indeed very well be the driving force
behind their enterprises.
But, is it truly God?
