a doctrine taught by mostly evangelical Christian televangelists that wealth and propserity are promised in the
Bible for devoting your life to God, or that a life of wealth and health and prosperity are signs of God'
s favor. Unfortunately, the prosperity gospel is not just unBiblical, but is used by these televangelists to get you to donate your
money to their organization. I am a Christian myself and dont
buy into the prosperity gospel.
The prosperity gospel unfortunately leads others astray and exploits one'
s desire to have wealth and health in this life. In a way, the prosperity gospel teaches a person to pursue wealth and not God himself, and could be considered a form of idolatry. If the prsperity gospel is
true, then why wasn'
t Mother
Teresa or Jesus rich?? Does being "poor" mean you are being chastised by God? Just a few thoughts.
