Some time back, I wrote one of the all-time standard, one-size-fits-all blog posts, on the search terms that led people to Right To Think. Since then, my hits for the term “matthew hagee weight loss” have soared to even greater heights, so I figured I should investigate the Cornerstone pastor and his dietary habits a little more closely, to see why so many people were interested in Matty “the Fatty” Hagee.
Well, first off I’m doing him an injustice by calling him that, He clearly has lost a whole bunch of weight in the last few years. Here’s Matthew in 2004,
looking every (straining) inch the pie-eater, and here’s a more recent photo 
showing the all-new, slimline, sexy Hagee (okay, now let’s see how many hits I get for “matthew hagee sexy”. Ewww). He still seems to be wearing the same suit, though. It’s evident that Hagee has shed some pounds, but as to how he did it – well, that’s more of a mystery. You see, I’m not the only person to have noticed the intertubes’ fascination with the fluctuating waistline of Pastor Hagee, and so any search regarding his miraculous shrinkage hits a wall of “matthew hagee weight loss” meta tags which have been thrown up on canny dieting websites to pull in the traffic. Nowhere can I find any record of Matthew Hagee’s actual story – in fact, the man is surprisingly under-represented online. His dad, oh yes – John “Nazis are God’s police force” Hagee is all over the web like 2004 Matthew on an all-you-can-eat buffet, but when you try and hunt down information on the amazing size-changing Hagee Junior you’ll find there’s not much out there. The younger Hagee’s astounding journey from gut-bucket to toned and honed Adonis will thus continue to remain a mystery to me, and to you as well, loyal readers. I will assume the hand of divine providence, or perhaps a gastric band, until someone can tell me different…

He’s losing weight because he’s feeding an alien parasite that is controlling his mind.

You forgot to add “awful stretch marks and scary hanging skin.” I wonder if that would gotten you any hits?

I don’t want to start any rumors, but I heard that he made a deal with Satan. I’m not stating unequivocably that he is in league with the powers of dieting darkness; I’m just saying that’s what I heard from a normally creditable source.

I think he looked MUCH better when he was fat. Now he looks sickly and… weird. He was cute when he was fat, now he looks like one of the muppets come to life. He’s TOO skinny now. Maybe he’s sick? I hope not.

trust me, after losing my ex wife to a gastric bypass after she lost over 200 pounds in 14 months, i can tell you he definitely had a gastric bypass..the skeleton look, the anemic looking neck and face is a dead on wringer..i figure he probly has spent a few thousand dollars more on getting rid of all the loose skin and liposuction…i can spot a gastric a mile away.. they will deny it of course, until it eventually comes out…

I don’t understand if he lost all this weight and is embarass to share it with the world–We all know the family is very much in the media but why not share how he lost it would deliver lots of people who need the same courage to do it, he should reveal & be open and honest about his great weight lost -it just helps a lot out there who are struggle with the same issues of addictions how he got his miracle
Matthew come forth and come out of yourself and be set free to reveal your true self
STOP HIDEDING
Be Blessed in all you do Brother

What does it matter how he lost it? He obviously decided to start taking care of himself and cares about maintaining his temple. Maybe he just wants to live to see his children grow. What business is it of all of you “nah sayer’s?” Did you pay for his surgery, do you make his house payments or utility payments? IF NOT, then your opinion is just like “belly buttons!” Everyone has one! And as for the really rude/crude comments…I will leave those up to God to judge you on those. I personally think that they are very immature.
Congrats to Pastor Matt and I pray he stays healthy and fit for many more years to come!

He looks great. God has surely opened his eyes to the importance of taking care of your physical body. Instead of saying bad things about him or trying to figure out how he did it, praise God he has done it. He will feel so much better and he can show the world how the power and the strength of God can help you change anything in your life, that needs yo be changed, as long as you lean on Him. Praise God!

If there is one thing for sure, people who are insecure and hateful will also try to bash and bring down those who try and do something about their problems — it is obvious to me and the rest of the world that the person who wrote this stupid article, which has nothing meaningful coming out of it but a bunch of jealous ranttings and rhetoric, is a pig-headed jerk who is probably just huge and jealous because he/she/it can’t afford the gastric bypass. Clearly, if Matthew Hagee were still big, you would be sitting on your lard butt talking about how he needs to lose the weight. So why don’t you go stuff a twinky in your $#$!@$#@ and give us all a break!

Some of you youngsters have no sense of History or the significance of politics and ideology.The reasons behind the ridicule of Matty the fatty are[or should be]his daddy’s extreme political religious fundamentalism, and support of Isreal as imagined by a strategic thinker of Christian Zionism. I like the idea of Zionism as originally expounded by Jews longing for a homeland. But this Zionism is conjoined with a hatred and fear of non christians and Muslims.The Conservative movement has been bankrolled and abetted by the Evangelical and conservative communities[as is their right-though I don't like them]. Hagee has made it plain that he dislikes Catholics too, an opinion generally shared by protestant Fundies. I remember seeing Mr Hagee about 15 years ago in Houston at Congregation Beth Yeshurun in Houston, at a theatrical play about Joseph and his coat of many colors.The older Jews like my friend Benard’s daddy Allan[Avram]Nelkin[ alev ha shalom] were so glad to see a Christian minister that likes Israel that they overlooked his conflation of Jews with Israel, and his blunt political opportunism.He was very imperious and regal and I seen him under the radar, I as a young gentile backsliding catholic.So all the power to the person of Matt, but the cause he serves is evil and wordly and about money, yet these conservatives think they have the mantle and crown as the chosen ones.The Jews don’t even think this nonsense.We all are important and have our parts to play.

I would watch the two Hagees on TV on Sunday mornings and think to myself “How long before one of these two explodes right here on TV. I didn’t watch the “show” to learn how to live; it was pure entertainment. It was obvious they were living a “do as I say not as I do” kind of life. Two jelly-boys waddling across the stage and a church full of gullible people. It was precious. To hear “Doctor” John (with his HONORARY doctorates) pontificate along with his clone, Maxi Me was a great way to start the day…with a lot of laughter!
John Hagee, the moral compass for the poor dears of San Antonio divorced his first wife after 15 years of marriage and married his present wife, who was a member of his church! How’s THAT for leading by example! Rule # 1 for ministers: NEVER get into a relationship with parishioners. Ah, but like everything else, including the Deadly Sin of Gluttony….it applies to everyone ELSE but Hagee! HYPOCRITE!! And a fat one at that.
And those poor, pathetic followers applaud and hang on his every word. And it looks like Matthew has discovered that fame and fortune can come with a little charisma. So his has shed his porky past and is now a mere shadow of his obese former self. So many televangelist’s sons have discovered the lucrative “business” of religion. As Big John get’s closer to the Big Trip South, Matthew is clearly postured to take over the empire the moment his dad croaks his last venemous sermon. Up with Israel. Down with gays and lesbians. Global Warming is a fantasy. In short, I think anyone who is foolish enough to follow him deserves just what they get.

I too wonder if Matthew lost the weight to keep up with today’s money making ministers. I know John Hagee hates Joel Olsteen but probably told poor Matthew to lose weight and try to look better to get a larger congregation (thus more money). I was glad when Matthew got married because truthfully I always thought he was gay and that John Hagee sensed it and that’s why he hated gay people so much. I like Matthew and think he is a great singer.

I’ve been meaning to google “How did Matt Hagee lose weight?” for some time. But I didn’t expect to end up on an atheist blog.
Matt’s been skinny before but then would be bigger later on again. For that reason, and the fact it’s very Biblical, I’ve always “assumed” he has lost his weight by fasting (extended water fasts) rather than gastric bypass.
I have no proof of it, but just “figured” that Matt may have done a long fast in previous years but did not stay with the mostly raw diet afterward. Hence all your weight will come back.
So I “figured” maybe when he was ready to fully commit to permanent change in eating habits for a lifetime (and it does take advance mental preparation and education on the subject), that he probably did another lengthy fast and has stuck with it this time.
This makes more sense to me than the surgery “guestimate” because of the various Heath docs they’ve had on their programs and the discussions re healthy eating, fasting, etc.
You can lose a good bit of weight by fasting alone, but if you continue with a mostly veggie/fruit diet, and most of that raw, you will continue to lose slowly until your body reaches it’s perfect weight.
Someone said Matt had the earmark “looks” of someone who had gastric surgery. I say he has the earmarks of someone who has done a lengthy fast. ;) as you can look pretty thin and bony after the fact and with continued raw diet. But your weight will balance out over time.
Fasting is the best and most victorious thing you can do for your body, mind, spirit, whether you have weight issues or not. It’s an awesome experience! My bet is Matt Hagee has been fasting. And God bless him either way!
On a side note: I didn’t know John Hagee hates Joel Osteen. What’s up with that? Isn’t Texas big enough for both of them? ;)

So I guess that there is only going to be one pastor Porky. I have to agree with Jennifer Williams about gluttony being a sin. Perhaps if he were to remove the beam out of his own eye before removing the splinter out of the eyes of others then he wouldn’t be such a hypocrite. But just losing the weight wouldn’t be enough. This guy does nothing but to preach hate about others who might have a difference of opinion or belief. He invokes an unprofound fear in those who have a closed mind. He judges others according to his moral values and whines about how christians are being treated bad. To me he is nothing more than an after-life insurance salesman who propagates deception for his own benefit.

I went to youth group with Matthew and his sisters. I lived in a 24′ travel trailer. My mom was a single mother making $8 an hour giving 10% of her income to Mr. Hagee. They found out where I lived. What do you think happened? I never went back to youth group after the ridicule I endured from Matthew and his sisters. I was 14, and very poor. I have not been to church since. The few, the proud and privileged Hagee children. He was fat when we were kids.

My husband and I watch your program every week.
We are blessed by it.
I love Matthew and think he is a great preacher
and annointed singer.
I pray that God’s blessing will be upon you as you
continue to work for the Lord.
I am so proud of the way Matthew looks. It is very
hard to lose weight and remain healthy.
Please pray for us, my husband has cancer.
Yours in Christ

I find both father and son to be repulsive. They get up there with their dog and pony show and using a combination of jokes and vitriol they seem to hold their audience in awe. Those poor gullible sheepeople. Senior reminds me way too much of the elder Falwell: all the answers all packaged and ready to go. But the intolerance, the arrogance and the self righteousness are just beneath the smiles and gladhanding. It’s ALL about money but the poor dears don’t seem to notice the lavish lifestyles, the fine suits and French cuffs. And I doubt that the Hagees buy their shoes at J.C. Penney. They live HIGH on the hog, all on the ministry’s nickel.
I just have to hoot at the fact that the elder Hagee DIVORCED his first wife and MARRIED A WOMAN FROM HIS OWN CONGREGATION. That’s rich! Gee I thought the Bible said you can’t divorce. Of course it all applies to everyone BUT him! Typical of phonies and blowhards. Everyone else needs to keep the rules but of course not them. They are special. They are “anointed.” They are above the rules. Oh please. They are as fake as the Rolexes that are for sale in Tijuana. He’s a Christian? He hates Catholics and makes no pretenses to even try to be civil in his remarks. Have another donut Mr. Hagee. Maybe he’ll keel over in his office one fine morning after chowing down a few thousand calorie breakfast….just like Falwell. They can have adjoining rooms in Hell and taunt each other about who was the bigger blowhard. And in the background ther sermons play day and night forever. After all ….it’s HELL! How fitting.

Well, Sheriff you seem to be both blind as wll as gullible. I guess you are one of the Sheepeople. Your silly and pointless remark apparently do not dispute any of the TRUTHS that I mentioned. So I guess the best you can do is try the old pious phrases routine. It won’t work. Why didn’t you just go ahead and say “well bless her little heart” as all the blind phonies do? It sounds so sweet and is the most hateful of all possibloe comments: using God to PRETEND to “Bless” someone you simply have no use for, usuallly because you just do not know how to reply.
Wake up and smell the million$ in donations that magically become “compensation” to these two clowns. Oh, they are too smart to embezzle. They don’t NEED to! They just award themselves bazillions in salary and perks right under the noses of their board of directors. It’s all legitimate….if you call ministers making millions legitimate! Please.
Sure, Sheriff. I’ll be glad to examine my own heart. Right after you examine your gullibility and naivete.

I’ve been watching John Hagee for years on television for over 10 years and I think his heart is in the right place. I believe him to be honest and sincere. He has led millions of people to Christ and has thereby secured their salvation.
It’s easy for people to criticize men of God. Their task of saving souls is a difficult one, and many people enjoy it when they falter or reveal themselves to be human.
Pastor Hagee has been an inspiration in my life, and I have learned a great deal from him. I have never heard him say anything hateful. I believe that he tells it like it is. Some people may not like what he says, but in those instances, more often then not, their disagreement really is with the Lord’s Word and not so much with John Hagee.
Is John Hagee perfect ? Of course not. None of us are. Especially me. But John Hagee has, with God’s blessing, set about to improve the world and help people straighten out their lives, by preaching the gospel and saving souls. And he has succeeded. Thank God for him, and for the many other great Christian Preachers like him.

THE BIBLE SAYS THAT IN THIS WORLD WE WOULD GO THOUGH TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THIS SITE I CAN SEE THAT JESUS SPOKE THE TRUTH 100%. WHO ARE YOU TO SPEAK AGAINST A MAN OF GOD? WOE BE UNTO YOU THAT DOES THIS WITHOUT PROOF THAT THIS MAN HAS DONE ANYTHING WRONG. WOE, WOE AND MORE WOES WILL BE HEAPED UPON YOU FOR SUCH A THING AS THIS. PRAISE GOD THAT WE HAVE A GOD THAT IS MERCIFUL AND FORGIVING AND IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN HIM THEN JUST WAIT IT OUT, YOU’LL BELIEVE SOON ENOUGH.
BTW~ I DO EXPECT SOME REAL NASTY BLOW BACK FROM WHAT I JUST SAID,BUT I SAY TO SAY TO YOU THAT THROW THOSE DARTS~ KEEP THROWING BECAUSE YOUR TIME IS SHORT~ THE DAY OF THE LORD IS COMING SOON AND I PRAY THAT YOU FIND SALVATION BEFORE HIS RETURN!

Hey Vairy, You point is well taken. I agree that those who wrongfully attack men of God may well indeed be punnished. And I am convinced that both John and Matthew Hagee are men of God.
Additionally, I also believe that the Lord prpbably is coming soon – but no man knows the day or hour. Stay strong in your faith Vairy, and in your defense of the men (and women) of God. In His Blessed name !!

Typical. I guess that when Philly Chief cannot address the merits of an argument, or cannot convey an opinion in a logical and coherent manner, he (or she) resorts to profanity and name calling.
I have found that one of the best ways to determine whether or not great preachers like Billy Graham, Pope John Paul II, Jerry Falwell, Rod Parsley, and yes, John Hagee, are telling it like it is, is to look at the explosive and hateful responses that their opponents make.
Your negative and hysterical rant, without one iota of evidence to support your position, only serves to reinforce my belief that men like John Hagee are on the right track. It’s funny. Some people get really angry when they are confronted by the Word of God. They lash out and attack the messanger because they are upset with the substance of the message.
If however, you have legitimate complaints about John Hagee Ministries, then articulate them in a calm, clear and forthright manner, and we maybe can discuss the issues intelligently. But calling names and using profanity only diminishes you, and not John or Matthew Hagee.

PhillyChief
What merits of what argument, Joe? Even when Trekkies argue issues about their Trekkie world, they know it’s not real (well, I hope most do) and the amazing thing is they actually make sense.
Could that apply to preachers of other religions? Because then by your logic Osama bin Laden, Ayotollah Khomeini, and of course Fred Phelps are telling it like it is. Does it apply to non-religious types as well, because then Manson and of course the little tyrant in North Korea must be telling it like it is as well.
Articulate problems with Hagee? Seriously? I could fill pages, but let’s hit the highlights:
• Catholic church is the whore of Babylon “drinking the blood of the Jewish people”
• Katrina was due to gays
• The Pope is comparable to Hitler
• Calls for a “holy war” with Iran
• “[T]he feminist movement today is throwing off authority in rebellion against God’s pattern for the family.” ["Bible Positions on Political Issues," John Hagee]
• “Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick. Do you know the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS? You can negotiate with a terrorist.” [God's Profits: Faith, Fraud and the Republican Crusade for Values Voters, Sarah Posner]
But I suppose if anyone is insulted by being called a great whore, being accused of causing Katrina, or being the root of other problems due to wanting equal rights then that’s proof he’s right. Yes, you certainly are deserving of a thoughtful, intelligent response. Uh huh, right. You know there is one good passage in your bible, and that’s about not bothering to cast pearls before swine.

The conservatives and the Evangelical Fundamentalists accentuate and emphasise the basic legalisms of religion and especially when it fills their agenda and purpose.Politics and Culture are behind their elitism and American exceptionalism.They miss the main spirit of religion and the Bible in their deification and idolatry of the Bible.Jesus, was quite simply a reformer and a Liberal, and founf himself up against an established hierarchy ,a “status quo”that wanted to maintain it’s position of authority and priveledge above the ‘aretz ha Am”, the lowly the unedjucated, the common.These so called christians are not oppressed, they are not the minority .Most of us are Westerners and “Christians” even if not satisfiying these chauvinist racist protestant definitions.It is quite a ploy for these cultural fascist to play the victim,and constantly feel the need to go to war against anyone else who believes differently.Like it or not, this is a multi-cultural country, these christstealers have misappropriated christ[not a last name] and christianity on the name of shallow politikal agendas.I am glad that christianity teaches and implores them to love.That is good.It is not easy to do, and Christians don’t do it any better than Sikhs or Jews or Atheists.None of us is totally unselfish.The television fundamentalists are phony and posers,proclaiming a narrow Christianity that suits their very earthly purpose.By controlling the government they can impose a christian “Sharia” law on the rest of us whio don’t fit in to their paradigm.And at the same time they can play the victim, so they can get donations of more money to eradicate the “enemy”.The concepts in the Bible are often in variance with themselves, and appear as contradictions or paradoxes.Thats okay Truth can be relative as at a time it could be absolute.Politikal correctness demands that people be careful in their prejudices, and sometimes it goes way out of bounds.But decency and common moral discernment should be praticed by all.But people Believe differeently.The Holy Scriptures were written by Human beings in history and in a linear time.The writers and redactors of Bible are many over an extended period, and as a living Testament it needs to be supple enough to change with the time and place, to put in the context of meaninf.Otherwise it is mere chattering and corporate establishment niceties.Yes pertinent somewhat, but to be looked at in the bigger, more holistic, more spiritual context.The prejudice of the Protestant Evangelicals against the catholics is legendary, and the dumbing down of reality by Hagees and his spawn has further obscured the greater truths that could be found in Chumash, the Jews too have become severely militarized in their zealotry, as all the raices of mankind have become.If we want to live in a “Dog eat dog world” ,keep listening to Osama bin Laden or Hagee, it’s just another side of the same coin.In order to survive, we all need to survive.Not just a few castaways in a sinful world, as in the apocalyptik vision of John.We are always near the end of the world.it is not a place in time.It is a process.We are all gonna diev someday!The question is do we work together for the redemption of the earth, or just let it die, as many nihilistic evangelicals believe.I am commenting on Christianity here rather than Islam, or Hinduism they all have a yetzer ha Ra or tendecy to cultural chauvinsm, or seeing their selves as” chosen” or elect.This is fine as far as that goes, and it depends on the concommitant definitions that go with this ontology or self conciousness.In the words of “Bread” he ain’t heavy he’s my brother”I would extend a hand of friendship to Christians and Musulmen, but warily if they had a weapon in their hand.Hagee and his ilk only obstruct and muddy the waters and inhibit the Light that would encourage their fellow man.They are in Love with their own customs and traditions and want to abnegate and humiliate all others.This only perpetuates warfare and hate.They are not victims they are victimizers, and their followers are flattered, and want it their own way.They will be oppossed. \~/ *

I find it amusing when one misspells “uneducated” when trying to make a point, but then that’s not really your problem, is it Patrick? No, it’s the problem of whoever you copied all that from before pasting it here. Now of course you could have proofread before copy/pasting, but that takes effort, am I right? I mean, almost as much effort as actually forming a comment on your own.

Philly Chief you are full of shit,knowing how to spell and being perfect are two different things.You take a very common and expedient method of belittling people with whom you disagree.it took a while to write my opinion my exegesis of life ,and here all you can comment on is protocal or perception.You know nothing of me,yet you seem content to comment on my legitimacy! and I doubt that you are an indian chief from philadelphia and i find that ridiculous, and furitive.I don’t spell check from my computer and i take pride in my own spelling ability.But i would never say that I am perfekt and don’t make mistakes .Are you ?I prefer to use a”k’ in place of a” C” in my spelling b/c I am of German heritage, it’s my own obvious idiosyncretic preference.You son of a bitch,I didn’t copy any of my diatribe, as hopefully your crap was genuine.if it was copyied it would have been better.This internet is a great device for democracy, in that so many of us can communicate, and be included.Not just British american, protestants of a certain caste and education.You said nothing of my ideas nor did you comment in another perspective.All you can do is attempt to humiliate me, undeservedly ,by making ridicule of my typing and spelling.Whatever experiences of Life that I have, and the family that I have been born to have imprinted my existence.Along with the choices we make ,this is who we are.We decide each day.So I guess that you thought that my thoughts were pretty good because you so stupidly say I copyed them.Get to the main essence and forget the criticism of spelling you poser indian.I am here in Texas ,I am 55 years old, out of work ,with a high school degree, but I believe that my opinion still counts.Unlike you I am not a computer generation,hoping for the apocalypse Geek with perfect etiqette.Wouldn’t that be politikal correctness.I’ve seen mr Hagee in Beth Yeshurun synagogue he is an asshole.And apparently by your self references and spelling priorities ,so are you.Whether or not i am an illiterate or highly educated no doubt has no bearing on my beliefs.You play dirty by trying to sully my name and intentions, while giving no equal dissertation.If I have been reduced to name calling it is in my mind no less than your polemic and mindless criticism.Perhaps I should better learn to type and use my computer .But I know how to think, and I know what I see.You chief are a liar and a coward.Now i need to go out and tend to the chickens ,maybe you want to go out to mug someone.I am going to spend a little time to study and check my spelling you pretentious asshole, to try to satisfy your precious, prissy, feline fallacious sensibilities. So be amused all you want, Iam not a big advocate here for education.I am commenting on my dislike for organized religion in general, and Hagee in particular.Their anti-catholic rascism of course bothered me in particular. I am a Liberal but so many other liberals tack this tack to belittle Evangelistics and poor white people.In these populist times thats not gonna work.The idea is more important than the Literal Word this is the essence of Christ.Sorry that I don’t meet your expectations, as a literate pundit and informed cosumer.OOps,sorry that is a lie!- “Go in Peace , but far from me” *

One of the reasons why some are more successful than others is that most of us spend our precious time on very unnecessary, unfruitful and uneventful
discourse which will add nothing but more misery to their lives.
To those of us who are trying to defend Ps. Hagee, please stop it. God knows how to defend His own. let us rather focus our time and energy on praying for him

After my my brother died in 2009 from diabetes, i decided to change my diet. Please note, am not diabetic, but i want to start eating properly. I was not fat, fat, but a little chubby, and since i have cut back on the sweets, the oil, and o, don’t even mention the pepsi, i have come down pretty nicely. You would be surprised how these foods sleeps in your body, so when u don’t absorb it, and eat light, u must shed the wait, and once u continue on to cut out those stuff from your diet, you will maintain it. You not only loose the weight, but your skin is also clean and pretty.
I believe thats exactly what Matthew Hagee did. Continue Matt, you are looking fabulous, just like my son Matthew who was fat, but has joined me with my diet, and he is slim and looking real good, plus no more acnes to contend with. The good thing, we did not go on any medical or herbal products. we just change our diet to eat right.

I truly enjoy John Hagee and his Holy Spirit inspired sermons.
The word of God states, to argue with those that don’t believe in Jesus, and aren’t Saved, is really a waste of time.
We as Christians plant the seed of the word when we are lead by the Holy Spirit because He has dealt with that person’s heart already, and are ready to hear His words.
Many, many hated Jesus, they will also hate us, If Jesus being the Master, was hated so, how do we expect to escape that kind of rage and hate?
The very best we claiming to be God’s children through His Son, can do is pray, pray and pray for all those who hate, despise or use us. It’s easy to love you church attending friends, anyone can do that. The true test of the Lord in your heart, is loving you enemies. Showing them God’s love.
Glad to see Matthew Hagee got in shape, I don’t care how. However, I do care about those on this forum that have been so very hateful, no need for it. From the heart overflowing we speak, to have that in your heart is sad, not what the Lord wants for you.
God bless All of You.

I have watched John Hagee for many years. His sermons have blessed my life. Whatever opinions you have of him, the word of God says to take the word of God coming out of him and let the Lord judge the rest. That goes for all preachers and teachers. Or, you can simply not watch him. Matt looks great! He is also an anointed teacher. However he lost his weight is really nobody’s business. Gastric bypasses are not off-limits to Christians last time I checked. JOHN AND MATT, PREACH ON AND CONTINUE RUNNING OFF THOSE DEMONS FROM GOD’S PEOPLE THROUGH THE AUTHORITY GIVEN TO ALL OF US AND THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS. To all you whiners and nay sayers, read the end of the BOOK. It says we win.

I have an idea for all of you…GET A LIFE! Who cares how he lost weight – the man is a great speaker and on television. Wonder how many of you have even been close to a tv camera…lolol

So being on tv makes you great? Does it make everything you say true and profound as well? I’m curious because then Snooki and “The Situation” would be some kind of prophets, right?
Thin or fat, on tv or not, Hagee is full of shit.
Btw, this thread may get even more future hits now that I’ve included Snooki and The Situation. Not bad for a dead blog. :)~

i want to thank Pastor Hagee for his wonderful service …Why is so much fuss about their money…does the Bibles not say that a pastor will be rich. Richness is not a sin but becoming a slave of Riches is . We have to have more pastors , more evangelists to spread the truth among gentiles , unbelievers and proclaim the truth boldly.Amen !

Dear “fatty” writer, Im sorry to have read your article. Unfortunatly, people with weight problems have zero respect in your eyes. I don’t listen to Matt Hagee at all but it’s sad that you have to result in elementary age style name calling in your article. Wonder if he was an alcoholic, drug addict or better yet if he werent a christian that you would refer to him in the same idiocity way. Very sad!

How sad for all of you that have no belief in Jesus Christ. Who cares what John Hagee has done in his past. NONE of us are perfect and we ALL fall short and are unworthy to bow at the feet of Jesus. John Hagee speaks the word of God, not his own word. The road to Heaven is narrow and MOST of you are not on that road. When you take your last breath, it will be TOO LATE!
