“My point was that the so-called prosperity gospel is one example of something totally contrary to the True Gospel, yet Protestant tolerate it among their fellow Protestants. “

So you suggest we hold a Protestant inquisition and burn the prosperity gospel folks at the stake?

Protestant religions are autonomous and could care less what another Protestant religion or what Catholics think about it’s practices.

It’s part and parcel of religious freedom. You have a decidedly immature understanding of it.

You don’t get to decide how everyone worships. You can tell them you don’t approve and attempt to take corrective action, but they may punch you in the nose.

That said, Prosperity Gospel is pretty crazy stuff, but I’ll defend their right to worship their crazy stuff against all comers.

We too have over 20 different rites. We do not call for uniformity of worship, and neither did I make it about style of worship. But doctrinal disagreements between Christian groups should give anyone great concern,because the Holy Ghost does not lead in different directions.

This is an amazing statement. They still worship Christ, don't they? He is not "crazy stuff". Next, no one said the Prosperity Gospel preachers should have their consitutional and natural rights taken away from them. All human beings have an inalienable right to preach and worship anything so long as they do not cause violence against the innocent. The dispute between you and me is about integrity of doctrine, not legal action. Was it not clear to you?
