Isn’t this the Prosperity Gospel that many Evangelicals follow??...real question...saw some guy on religion TV talking about “seed money” and the like...magritte
(For the Mormons? Yes!)
And they got it direct from their founder:
"And if ye seek the riches which it is the will of the Father to give unto you, ye shall be the richest of all people, for ye shall hae the riches of eternity: And it must needs be that the riches of the earth is mine to give: (original LDS "Book of Commandments, Chapter XL, vv. 33-34 (Now D&C 38:39) (Joseph Smith, Jan. 1831)
"Awake, O kings of the earth! Come ye, O, come ye, with your gold and your silver, to the help of my people, to the house of the daughters of Zion." (Smith, D&D 124:11, 1838)
"And send ye swift messengers, yea, chosen messengers, and say unto them: Come ye, with all your gold, and your silver, and your precious stones, and with all your antiquities; and with all who have knowledge of antiquities, that will come..." (D&C 124:26, 1838)
For traditional Christians, it was more "Come all ye faithful" (Christmas hymn). For Smith it was, "Come ye, with ALL your gold and silver."
Yea, its the “name and claim it”, stuff. Disgusting.
Yup!
That’s it!
