Truly, a generation of swine. And this one could use some lipstick. Mid-Life Crises from H-ell? goes terribly awry? Talkiing bibles? What's got this guy jumping through hoops, besides the Girl's Basketball team?
He may appeal on several levels -those who don't want anything remotely like what the bible teaches and can feel good about themselves next to this pig.
Or there may be some who figure hey. I have too much money. I need to waste some.
Many possibilities but none that don't make me want to take a brisk shower after considering them.
--------------- these quotes from the article - incredible!
In 2002, three weeks after the death of his wife, Scott, who was then 55, stood before the congregation and announced that the Bible instructed him as a high priest to take a virgin bride from the faithful. A week later, he did -- a pretty 20-year-old who a couple of years earlier had been a star basketball player on the church high school team.
Scott said he has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of church funds on a fleet of race cars and until last year devoted many weekends touring the circuit for his "racing ministry."
Scott is Calvary's "apostle" and presiding elder, and in 1996, he named himself the sole trustee, putting him in charge of virtually all of the church's operations, its theology and finances.
Pastor Star R. Scott is Senior Pastor of Calvary Temple in Sterling, Virginia, where he has ministered since 1973. Pastor Scott spent twenty years with the Assemblies of God and earned his degree from The Berean College.
He has served in sectional and district levels as well as speaking at General Councils. He has ministered in the largest churches in both Korea and India.
Still holding to all Assemblies of God tenets of faith, he now works as an independent ministry overseeing and training local pastors. Calvary Temple is a church where the full counsel of God's Word is believed, taught without compromise, and lived in obedience to Jesus' lordship.
Calvary Temple ministries include a Christian school, adult Bible college, media ministry, and an aggressive missions program. In addition to the pastoral gift, Pastor Scott functions in the five-fold offices of apostle and prophet. He has planted churches, and currently oversees the pastors and ministries of numerous satellite churches.
The teaching gift of Pastor Scott is prophetic and visionary to the Body of Christ. It is a ministry which earnestly contends for the faith, insisting upon sound doctrine. For the past two decades, Pastor Scott has ministered on radio and television, and traveled internationally teaching the uncompromised Word of God.
He has ministered to millions in the Sword of the Spirit miracle rallies, mission trips, and pastors' conferences. Many of Pastor Scott's teachings are being transcribed into book form and are being systematically released.
And history repeats itself…
Same information also appears on his racing cars website except he omits the second part of the first para, and the second para, about AoG.
If he is "Still holding to all Assemblies of God tenets of faith," it's reasonable to ask why he needs an "independent ministry" outside the auspices of AoG. Maybe they kicked him out. Maybe he had some difficulty getting his hands on all that lovely money. Maybe they didn't like his racing cars.
BTW I'm very sorry for the son who got kicked out, M&A'd, shunned, call it what you will. 16 is too young to cast your son adrift. But it might be the best thing that happened to the lad. Release from his prison, as it were. It sounds as though he has some sense, disobeying his father and all.
Religion, superstition, unfounded beliefs, anytime we abandon reason and embrace notions that cannot be proven or corroborated, we start playing a dicey game. One that often ends up with less than wonderful results.

Is anybody at the Café smart enough to hack into his website and put a link to the Café and a link to John Knapp’s psych get-the-cult-out-of-your-head website?

Religion will be the death of us all...
