I watch him at times and like him for the most part. Really I don't get what all the controversy here is about. What is wrong with asking for prosperity?

People complain he doesn't preach the Bible but he often quotes scripture.

He has a globe and not a cross. Does that really mean anything?

Maybe people are thinking about his style of preaching too much and reading too much into it.

It seems that some people just like to attack things others enjoy. I find him interesting and like the broadcast. That doesn't mean I always agree with him or send him money or would join his church. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

**What is wrong with asking for prosperity?**

Is that why Jesus died on the cross? To make us rich?

No . . . I don't see anything wrong with a so-called Christian preacher not showing a Cross or even holding a Bible . . . Oprah would love that.

This so-called preacher is a "prosperity good-time feel-good purveyor of babble."

Nothing like a 10.5 million dollar home to feel good in. I find him creepy looking especially when he closes his eyes whenever he turns his head from side to side.

Give me someone who not only holds a Bible in his hands, but actually reads from it . . . and actually stands in front of a Cross.

Yes. Jesus said, “If anyone wants to become my follower, he
must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.”

This flatly contradicts the prosperity gospel.
