The Prosperity Gospel May Land You In Hell. by Nobody: 12:52pm On Jan 17, 2016 |
There is something about it that i cant place my finger on; To indulge in it is to defile conscience and to keep mute is to encourage it. The soberness of the gospels and the other books point to a life of moderation, piety and careful attendance to the things of God which are eternal. They speak of a life of abundance, of glory not in material things possessed but in things possessed in Christ. In short if we are sincere, there is a cry for everyman to be aware of the snares of riches and the endearing need to be content; cos where comes the root of all evil? You that is mad when people debunk your "health, wealth, prosperity" gospel why are you mad? Are you mad because God is mad or because you are afraid to lack? Search your conscience! Would Jesus say its easier for an elephant to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to make heaven? Oh my he did say. Consider the impossibility of an elephant having a feat like that not to talk of your rich daddy! the probability is 0.00. How do you manage that? To clarify, God does not hate rich people neither would he bar them from his home but he hates the lust of riches. If there is anything the prosperity gospel centres on it is lust for wealth and more wealth and more wealth. Now if you were just a motivational speaker, encouraging people to seek wealth and a better life here, you may be forgiven but to have the guts, the audacity, the impetus to preach it as the gospel is to write your name in the book of death with a permanent marker. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Meh, one can say that pastors are the rudders of christians. Therefore, pastors guide their church member in all aspects, including finances. Therefore, ipso facto, they are not wrong to say such. Besides, the more the wealth, the more the tithes |

hucienda: Nah i am the only one with the monopoly to say that. *makes serious face* |

SirWere: The bible is the guide, any one going contrary to its principle is not a christian not to talk of pastor. Tithe is a % of whatever you have whether minute or large. |

Speechless3:you are right in some aspects, but being rich cannot take you to hell, the devil can only use it against you if you don't know your responsibility. Our earthly possessions aren’t inherently sinful, but they are temporary. What I really mean by temporary is that If we are carrying all of our possessions with us and are unwilling to lay them down for the sake of other as stated in Matthew 19, we will not be able to inherit the kingdom of God. |

malvisguy212: I think the real enemy is from within. Yes, our earthly possessions are temporary and should always come secondary to the things of God. We are not saying two things. 1 Like |
