PROSPERITY GOSPEL

Prosperity theology (also known as prosperity doctrine, the health and wealth gospel, or the prosperity gospel) is a religious belief found among "tens of millions"[1] of Christians centered on the notion that God provides material prosperity for those he favors.[2] It has been defined by the belief that "Jesus blesses believers with riches"[1] or more specifically as the teaching that "believers have a right to the blessings of health and wealth and that they can obtain these blessings through positive confessions of faith and the 'sowing of seeds' through the faithful payments of tithes and offerings."[3] In the words of journalist Hanna Rosin, the prosperity gospel "is not a clearly defined denomination, but a strain of belief that runs through the Pentecostal Church and a surprising number of mainstream evangelical churches, with varying degrees of intensity."[1][2] It arose in the United States after World War II championed by Oral Roberts and became particularly popular in the decade of the 1990s.[1] More recently, the theology has been exported to less prosperous areas of the world, with mixed results.[4]

Acts 29 Pastor Erik Meyers from, Veritas church in Roseville, CA. focuses on the prosperity gospel for a few minuets during his closing sermon to the "God Hates Religion" (Book of Galatians 6:6-18) sermon series.
~Veritas

—the teaching that true Christian faith results in material wealth and physical well-being. While it has its roots in America, it has found fertile soil on other continents as well. To accompany the lead article in Christianity Today by Ghanaian scholar Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu, director Nathan Clarke went to Ghana to explore the forms the prosperity gospel takes in that West African nation.

The tags are very funny past John Piper's name and worth reading for a good laugh.

Great comment!

[ma101661]

Okay F O K. just thought you should know how arrogant it appears when you identify yourself, in print, as Father of Knowledge. I still think it's inappropriate, no matter how good your intentions may be.....it's misleading and unwise to appear to be giving yourself such a title.

[FatherOfKnowledge]

@ma101661 - This scripture is CLEARLY QUOTED on my Channel " .. From His mouth come knowledge ... " Prov 2:6 "For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;" - It is obvious to all but the reckless and impulsive that I don’t think I am the “Father of Knowledge”. The name is just the name of the Channel (that’s all). Everything on the channel points to God and Jesus. .. Proverbs 29:20 " Do you see a man who speaks in haste? ......... ". <<<<<<< please read !!!

[ma101661]

@FatherOfKnowledge "FATHER OF KNOWLEDGE"? Gee, I always thought that was GOD and only GOD. Not some person on the internet............change your tag if you expect anyone to pay attention to your opinions. Just what you call yourself screams "Nutcase."

[ma101661]

To MrsRDub: WATCH THE VIDEO! It's never enough to just read a title....duh...

[Mykelliah]

@MrsRDub The message I'm getting from this pastor is that the feeling of entitlement is what Christians should guard against. It creates a very 'me first' attitude and takes the focus away from Yehusuhua (the Hebrew name for Jesus) and his sacrifice for us. I used to attend a Church that teaches prosperity , but as for me, I don't agree with that doctrine. That is not to say I don't appreciate all good that Yahua blesses me with, I just don't feel it should happen because I want it to.

[MrsRDub]

I don't mean to be rude or confrontational. I just don't understand. Yes, do some people seek God for selfish gain? Yes indeed, but I feel that's just the nature of people, of humans. Why does that make having "faith" false or misleading. I just hate to see the body of Christ doing damage to its own self is all........

[MrsRDub]

Wait wait wait... Ok so you're tellin me there's something wrong w/ people believing that they don't have to be sick or in debt or lack?? 0_o I thot that was a good thing. Didn't watch the vid, jus read description. I am personally very thankful to God for learning about the authority in my mouth. After believing scripture & confessing that I'm free from depression and the physical ailmets that result from it, I live a much happier and fulfilled life. Are you saying that I was wrong for that??

[ma101661]

Good! Too much garbage out there about what we are entitled to. This is good. Leveling.

[FatherOfKnowledge]

The prosperity gospel movement closely resembles some of the destructive greed sects that infiltrated the early church. They are dangerous false teachers and Christians should avoid them.
