The God of many preachers today is not the God of the Bible, but a mixture of Aladdin's genie and an almighty psychiatrist who can be manipulated with offerings and words of faith.

Sugel Michelen
Sugel Michelén (* 1958) ist ein dominikanischer Pastor, Theologiedozent und Autor, der seit den 1980er-Jahren an der Iglesia Bíblica del Señor Jesucristo in Santo Domingo dient. Er vertritt eine reformiert-baptistische Theologie, prägte die Praxis der Auslegungspredigt im hispanischen Raum und grenzt sich pointiert gegen charismatische sowie arminianische Lehren ab. Für Bibelleser steht er für eine methodisch strukturierte, streng an reformatorischen Bekenntnissen orientierte Schriftauslegung.
