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.

So you are saying that to believe in “The Gospel - Good News” we have to be poor, suffer, endure adversity?

Let me beat my back bloody with chains and drive nails through my hands.

Conversely someone who is wealthy, happy, and never had a bad day can not be a Christian?

Really?

REALLY?

> Satan uses prosperity<

So prosperity is Satanic?

Feel free to send my family your money. Our net worth is less than ...calculating...15K dollars and that is a stretch.

But we are happy and appreciate the Gifts of our Lord.

According to you we should reject them.

Oh and not use our God given strengths for prosperity and abundance.
