...we can learn a lot from the Presbyterians deeper reading of scripture.

The entire family thought they were celebrities and lived like them, milking tens of thousands out of their cash.

Their behind the scenes television production was right out of Hollywood. It was really one big con job.

Real estate market went down, who’da thunkit? We were much more careful when we chose our house.

And what’s with “default” here? Couldn’t the Schullers pay cash? With their income, they could easily have bought our house for cash.

Taking a contrary stance -- is there anything good about the prosperity gospel preachers or methods

No.

It fosters a God owes me mentality.
(Of course I may be missing something....)

I think both the Presbyterians and Catholics should bring in the enthusiasm of the pentecostals

Nah.. Pentecostal worship is manipulative. Loud driving music and screaming just whips people into a frenzy. Ideally what should be seen is a worship environment where those who are broken can find comfort, those who have joy can rejoice. I've seen it done well and it is something to behold. People worshiping from where they are, in the same place.

But, do you think there is anything worthwhile in the prosperity gospel preachers leaving aside dogma) or would we think its all bad?

Sorry. I just can't come up with a thing.....

Oh.

Before I answer, how would this fervour manifest itself?

I see the fervour being in the way of expressing one’s faith in small ways in public and not being ashamed of it. Of being able to calmly talk to a person cursing God and say “this is why what you are doing is wrong” — and this is where it would diverge from pentecostals who by being hyper-aggressive turn the tables on themselves (as witness in Mangalore in India where pamphlets were distributed calling Hindu gods as demons — that didn’t win any converts, rather ruined a lot of calm, persistive work)

In theory he will short sell the property, ONLY if the mortgage holders agree, and he proves he does not have financial assets to make good on his promises to pay.

And the lenders will expect appraised market value.
