Hillsong - All for the Love of Money

Brian Houston has twisted Jesus' message of sacrifice and humility into a celebration of avarice and greed...

Luke 18:23-28
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

2Peter 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

1Tim 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

2Tim 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

In the description you wrote that 1Tim 6:10 says that "money is the root of all evil" but the verse actually says (at least according to google and my bible) that "money of the root of all kinds of evil" not all evil.

Hi spogee

The New International version does, but the King James Version says:

1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil

You can interpret the bible in many ways-how else could you convince whole churches that wealth is righteous and sickness is sin-all things non biblical- but if you say it with enough passion-it's easy to convince people who don't want to be bothered to actually read the bible

I don't know if the NIV is more accurate..But I do know you don't need more money

Hey mike..No there is nothing wrong about earning money and using your blessing to help others..but the way I read this is that Houston mis quotes a bible text all to sell his book...a book called "you need more money" ...not to better anyone but just..just to convince you that by giving money to brian houston and his church...you will hit the jackpot and have wealth...total lies and mis interpretation of biblical text...prosperity gospel only benefits those who teach it.

[hillsongchurch]

@esq8 Re:"Let the poor say I am rich" Not the exact words but the thought is there. Better keep looking.

[zedrev01]

Jer 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to PROSPER you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Prosper definition

To grow; to increase.

To be successful; to succeed; to be fortunate or prosperous; to thrive; to make gain. To favor; to render successful.

[esq8]

I tried to look up the verse Brian quotes, "Let the poor say I am rich" and it's not in the Bible. It's a line from one of his lead singer's songs from his church, Reuben Morgan! I guess if you can write a hit seller, it becomes up there with Scripture!

How to be poor! Learn how to be poor and then be criticized by people because you are christian and poor....No, let's learn how to have money and then be criticized by people anyway.

[spogee]

@hillsongchurch Oh, thank you. It's kind of confusing that different translations say different things to be honest, but I definitely agree about people not needing more money!
