Cringeworthy – Things Christians especially Leaders Do

[Boomerang]

Ok for those that may not know:

cringe·wor·thy
/ˈkrin(d)ZHˌwərT͟Hē/

adjectiveINFORMAL

causing feelings of embarrassment or awkwardness.
“the play’s cast was excellent, but the dialogue was unforgivably cringeworthy”

As a returnee.. to Christ.. I try my hand at watching “Inspirational” speakers, pastors, messianic “scholars”, Orthodox, Catholic, Pentecostal speakers.. I have to say its some of the most cringe-worthy stuff. Mispronunciations of common Hebrew words, total mistranslated or misapplications of the bible, Prayer shawls.. holy land anointing oil, supposed experts in Judaism believers who are advertised as Orthodox Jews who have found the Messiah.. and they turn out to have been Conservative at best and  most of them only attended Synagogue or Temple ..only on High Holy Days.   To make matters worse.. these people who can not even pronounce basic Hebrew words are touted as some experts.. “Rabbi” Jonathon Cahn cant even pronounce the words in this own book.. they are the laughing stock of Non Believing Jewish world.. the only one really worth his salt is Dr. Michael Brown.. and he is even cringe at times.  He gets on to Jewish people for keeping Kosher.. but at his own admission I heard him talk about breaking down crying because he was on a new ” Set you free from Carbohydrates” diet..and couldnt eat what he wanted.. I guess Gods diet plan wasnt good enough for him? .. all this is so cringe worthy.  Or Richard Roberts selling prayer strings?  I can go on and on.  Every time I speak to members of my family regarding Jesus.. they immediately bring these people or others similar as examples of what a farce it all is!   If they could only experience the genuine Jesus.. and if only some of these speakers could get educated and think for a change about what kind of an example they are… and please they should get the message.. dont read the Shema off a tele prompter and then tell us all how you recited since you were a child!  .. ok i feel better.

Hi Boomerang,

I’m glad you got that off your chest and feel better!

Yes agreed, I’d say very cringe-worthy indeed.
