US Pastor Sets Internet Abuzz, Says Jesus Died For Money by skak(m): 7:15am On Oct 20, 2015 |
American televangelist and pastor, Creflo Augustus Dollar, threw the internet into a frenzy when he claimed that Jesus Christ died for ‘financial prosperity’. The 53-year-old Bible preacher and financial prosperity ambassador took to his social media on Wednesday, October 7, to display to his followers that Jesus also agrees with his financial philosophy. He posted “Jesus bled and died for us so that we can lay claim to the promise of financial prosperity. #ProsperityInChrist #WealthyLiving #AbundantLife” and some of the comments which followed were awry. Some of the commenters mocked the televangelist due to the fact that the update does not in anyway agree with orthodox Christian teaching. This is one is the most obvious and blatant statements of Creflo’s prosperity beliefs in recent times. The televangelist had first got everyone talking when he asked his church members to donate $65m so he can buy a private jet to spread the gospel. He is in the news again for saying Jesus died so that everybody (including himself) can enjoy “financial prosperity.” The controversial posts were quickly deleted from his Facebook and Twitter pages, but not without it being already screen-grabbed as seen above. The prosperity preacher is known for his controversial interpretation of the Bible. Examples from Dollar’s teaching include the following, “The Bible says that wealth is stored up for the righteous (Proverbs 13:22, New American Standard). However, it will remain stored up until you claim it. Therefore, claim it now! You possess the ability to seize and command wealth and riches to come to you (Deuteronomy 8:18). Exercise that power by speaking faith-filled words daily and taking practical steps to eradicate debt. Like God, you can speak spiritual blessings into existence (Romans 4:17). Remember, doubt keeps silent, but faith speaks!” Sometimes, he implores people to sow into ministries like his so as to get huge blessings. “You can say, ‘Oh, God, I need money! The rent is due. The baby needs shoes. And what about my breakthrough?’ But if you haven’t sown financial seed, how can you expect a financial harvest?” Dollar is known for his controversial teachings regarding prosperity theology, or the gospel of wealth. He has long been criticized for living a lavish lifestyle; he owns two Rolls-Royces, a private jet, and real estate such as a million-dollar home in Atlanta, a $2.5 million home in Demarest, New Jersey, and a $2.5 million home in Manhattan, which he sold for $3.75 million in 2012. Dollar has refused to disclose his salary. https://www.naij.com/608766-jesus-died-money-popular-pastor.html/?odunayo

Beware!! I cushion yu against saying bad words about a man of God. Who knows what could happen to you or your family for generations to come? Psalm 105:15 Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. |

Most Christians die because of their own mouth. And the family ends up blaming God. |

Christianity 101...tell the people what they want to hear. Does anybody honestly think if it wasn't for the money involved churches would be flourishing the way they do? 98% of people who go to church do so because in their hearts they want to prosper financially and otherwise. Nobody is really interested in going to heaven because in reality there's no such place. Why do you think they all keep praying for long life and prosperity? Heaven can wait,we all need money. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

cold: Why you so cold towards God? You cant prove heaven doesn't exist so how did you come to your conclusion? You think you need money, but in truth you need God. Not here to debate tho. |

Jeromejnr:Ok i'll save you the stress. But i believe you're not ready to make heaven yourself. You want to live to a ripe old age. To see your children and grandchildren. Which isn't a bad thing anyway. Which goes to butress my point. Nobody is ready to meet his/her maker just yet. Heaven can wait,we all want to enjoy all the luxuries this 'sinful world' is ready to offer. Everybody wan go heaven,but nobody wan die my brother. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

cold: Well, people that have seen heaven before want to die and go back there. I know a woman who has been crying and begging God to take her back. After seeing that other side she wasn't interested in this world any more. The reason why most christians are not ready to die is because this world is all they know and all they've seen. |

cold: Don't incite me to start with you people again today o! Don't mistake my previous comments for weakness. I have chosen to come in peace today. Be warned! Lest you drink of the cup of His wrath.
