I am amazed at how they can’t address the topic and go to personal attack. It is childish.

Just following the lead of Benny Hinn who has backtracked a little in recent years.

Both should sit down, shut up, and read their Bibles.

Your post deserves criticism.

The LORD uses your belief in him to help the world understand what is going on. He works through us. We are in the world but not of this world. We are the ones to spread the word.

But Joel Osteen told me if I just believe that God is gonna make me rich. I want my money!!

[boatbums]

One of the things people respected about Billy Graham was his modest lifestyle. He probably could have made a lot of money for himself and lived the high life, but he listened to the Lord Jesus Christ and stored up his treasures in heaven instead. The riches of this world are a trap. Those who are called to minister should demonstrate by the way they live that they care more about helping others than themselves.

I certainly don't begrudge people who work hard and have the ability to afford nice things and live comfortably, but I think we all can tell the difference between those serving the Lord for "filthy lucre's sake" and those who give their all to further the cause of Christ.

If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching, he is conceited and understands nothing. Instead, he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and semantics, out of which come envy, strife, abusive talk, evil suspicions, and constant friction between men of depraved mind who are devoid of the truth. These men regard godliness as a means of gain.

Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these. Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. (I Timothy 6:3-10)

For a noob you sound like a troll

[metmom]

This is all I need to know about the *prosperity gospel*.

Galatians 1:8-9 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.

It's not what Paul preached, therefore, it's a false gospel.

Joyce, Marie and Herman are related.
Word in the confessional booth is that Joyce went through confirmation as a yoot but decided that the feminist zeitgeist was her claim to fame.
No sauce.

Glad nobody was ever that pushy with me. How can anyone tell if he did or didn’t contribute?
