John Piper on the prosperity gospel

I will say it in a way that I can explain in an atheist can understand. it's the best false hope their is it only does good and changes people. instead of causing pain it's teachings bring people together to do good HOW IS THAT BULLSHIT? and you don't find out until the end. we all have the need to worship something christianity or atheism but atleast I feel better and can get through my day instead of talking BULLSHIT like yourself

i love how u yourself call it false hope. How dumb is that. I mean yea it can bring people together and it CAN make people love but looking around at all the damage religion has caused both in the past and in the present i dnt think its worth it. Fairy tales are nice, but as soon as people begin to really believe and are devoted enough to kill for it, it gets dangerous and atheism isn't worship or religion, i dnt worship anything, obviously u kno nothing about it

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

How are you defining "abundant life"? Do you know that NOTHING is outside of God's sovereignty--the good and the bad alike. Why do we make God seem passive in what we would label "tragedies" (i.e. God ALLOWED that to happen), but only active in what we would consider "blessings." Please don't misunderstand me on this. I'm not saying that God ever WANTS "bad" things to happen to us. But don't make the mistake of believing that He's more concerned w/ your comfort than your character.

I am defining abundant life like the Lord Jesus defines it in John 10 verse 10, He Jesus said satan come to Kill steal and destroy, But I have come to give you Life more abundantly, God is sovereigh to do His will and cannot do things that is out side his will.God doen't alow tragedies to hapen, we Have athoeity on the earth Jesus gave us athority to pull down strong holds and step on the enemy with prayer, He is not passive , He Has given the beliver athority in the earth for a reason,

Wow

I like what you said on all your comments

you don't have to wait untill your sorrow comes to praise Him He is worthy to be praised

Didn't say that you did. I agree. I just stated a fact...more often than not, it is in times of crisis that ppl are quickest to reach out for God
