So...do you like a gospel of poverty?
Must we all be poor?
What is wrong with prosperity?
What is wrong with the prayer I posted?
Don’t like it FINE.
Why the bashing of people who like and take inspiration from it?
Unless I am misunderstanding you are saying that only strict interpretation of the Bible will be accepted.
Is my family allowed...by you since you seem to have a deeper understanding than we...to observe our Celtic ancestry? Halloween? Beltane fire? Maypole? St David’s Day?
Or is that a bit of poison?
Please, get over it.
There is ONLY the Gospel.
And the gospel of prosperity is not it.
It does not matter if you are “inspired” by it.
Are you “inspired” by the doctrine of sin?
Was Jesus rich? Did all the disciples live “prosperous” lives?
So if the gospel of prosperity is correct, why are the most unhappy people flying first class? Why are so many wealthy people on mind altering drugs? Why did Robin Williams commit suicide?
Do you want the truth, or to feel comfortable?
Every bible character I know of did not have a “Best Life Ever”. God uses the difficulties in our life to refine our character. Satan uses prosperity (or the promise of) to ruin peoples character.
Riches are deceitful and we can’t serve two masters.
We get saved to spend eternity with God, not to use Him to get rich and make our lives comfortable.
So, how’s that message of prosperity working out in the rest of the world? Iraq? Iran? Africa?
Places where you are imprisoned and tortured for naming the name of Christ? Where children are being beheaded? Where your property is confiscated and you can’t find employment?
Tell them that God has a wonderful plan for your life and you just have to claim it and walk it out?
