Bakker was among the best known of what used to be called televangelists in the 1980s.
He was also a proponent of what is called the prosperity gospel, the wrong idea that if you send these TV ministers money, you'll get much more money in return.
That's directly opposite what the Bible teaches, but so many are biblically illiterate, they can be scammed by the best of scammers.
When Bakker got out of prison, he had double and triple sold condos near his theme park, I invited him to my home.
He replied, "When I surrounded myself with people who told me only what I wanted to hear." That's not only a good lesson for preachers, it's also good for politicians.
On a side note, the media used the word scandal to describe what Bakker did, but they never tell you the standard for what constitutes a scandal.
They promote LGBTQ and see nothing wrong with men and women's sports, but when they can trash something associated with Christians, they trot out the word.
