Prosperity Gospel and the Charlatans
Its no wonder that people get throughly confused as to Gods wish for our prosperity…
I read this post today from the The Carpet Bagger Report
Our fourth and final weenie is Pastor Rod Parsley of Ohio. Parsley is working hard to become the next Jerry Falwell. He has a new book out, “Culturally Incorrect: The Real War of the Worlds,” that has received rave reviews from Zell Miller and Tom DeLay, so you know it’s good.
But just in case the book flops, Parsley has other ways of keeping up his fancy lifestyle. A recent e-mail pitch plugged something Parsley calls the “Resurrection Seed.” He writes, “God has given us a prophecy that certain believers have been called and chosen to sow a significant Resurrection Seed — and to receive a three-fold blessing: A stress-free home and family! Divine health. Blessings of abundance.”
The cost for this blessing is a recommended donation of $85 (but whatever you can scrape up will be cheerfully accepted).
Is there any worse corruption of Christianity than the so-called “prosperity gospel”? Again, I’m no theologian, but I’m pretty confident that if God exists, his blessings are free. You don’t have to pay a charlatan for them. The only thing that will be “blessed” from this stunt seems to be Parsley’s bank account, which will grow fatter by non-miraculous means.
So my thought on the comment is this, the corruption should not lay on the “Prosperity Gospel” or the teaching that is “Christianity is not a call to poverty” but on the charlatan, You are absolutely correct, Gods Gift are free, well almost, You must proclaim them with complete conviction and faith as Gifts of God! after all is it not God that gave us Gold, Silver and Platinum, might oaks, oceans rivers and waterfalls, beautiful people, think about it, why would God wish for any of his children to suffer in Poverty, Again I will say, “Prosperity is a condition of the mind” and through the Grace of God you can change it, But you must Believe.
