The shallow theological preening is one thing; the willful contempt for what the Bible plainly says--spewed in ever-multiplying layers of self-serving distortions--is quite another.
That bracing mixture of spiritual arrogance mingled with Scriptural ignorance never fails to shock the genuine Christian: God is an ATM--a Santa Claus with a cash-box!--and if only you'll send your "offering" to this address! Visa & Mastercard accepted, of course...
A smarmy, non-Biblical business it is, from stem-to-stern, and spoken of in the Second Epistle of Timothy (1-5):
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5having a form of godliness but denying its power
lovers of money...having a form of godliness but denying its power.
That's the essence of the "prosperity doctrine," in a nutshell.
And I, for one, am grateful to the Almighty that He's seen fit, no matter my other failings and shortcomings, to grant me passage through this life uninfected with a scummy speck of it.
Who said anything about "name it and claim it" or Heaven being one big ATM???? You assume far too much and you have clearly shown your ignorance on the subject. Save it.
