What brand of Christianity?? Are you suggesting the early churches in the bible lived in poverty? If they did then how were they able to send aid to other Christians outside their regions? Isn't it because they prospered?? What is used in supporting missionary works? Pebbles?? Or you still haven't figured out that a man needs to prosper, have enough and more to be able to give to others. Please read the book of Acts well before you dudes start spewing bs here. |

@OP: www.nairaland.com/672959/kenneth-hagins-warning musKeeto: [size=17pt]Before he died in 2003, the revered father of the Word-Faith movement corrected his spiritual sons for going to extremes with their message of prosperity. Charismatic Bible teacher Kenneth Hagin Sr. is considered the father of the so-called prosperity gospel. [/size] |

The catholic church paved the way with the indulgences. To this day , they are still ripping off their followers with various charges such as praying for dead etc. The catholic church is worth billions of dollars, in fact when I visited the Vatican 2010, the amount of gold I saw could be used to feed the poor Catholics in Africa talk less of the raw cash stashed away in Swiss and Italian banks. Name it, gold crowns, gold frames, gold artefacts, the Vatican is littered with gold everywhere. The catholic church is the greediest of them all and the mother of dem harlots.

uj_sizzle: What brand of Christianity?? I do no think you understand what prosperity gospel is all about.No one has ever said christians should live in abject poverty but the craze for materialism and the practices of these churches are quite unbecomming. |

The concept of false teachers teaching false doctrines to reap of believers existed as far back as the time of the apostles. It just wasn't termed prosperity gospel then. 2 Peter 2:1-3 New International Version (NIV) False Teachers and Their Destruction 2 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. 3 Likes |

@muskeeto Are you sure keneth hagin really recanted his views on this doctrine? From what I gathered he alongside oral Roberts and keneth copeland are regarded as the founders of these teaching. |

Pastor Kun: The concept of false teachers teaching false doctrines to reap of believers existed as far back as the time of the apostles. It just wasn't termed prosperity gospel then. You might be right though there are not as bad as our modern day proponents |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by PastorKun(m): 3:52pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
Another reason why prosperity gospel is 'popular' is because these con men preach what people would want to hear: i.e You would prosper if you atttend my church, pay your tithes and sow seeds here. 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. |

....For the Workman is worthy of his MEAT..Matt10:10.sound strange but its the truth. His Meat might even be a private jet.... |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by Goshen360(m): 5:34pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
There is NOTHING like "Prosperity Gospel" simply because God HAD ALREADY GIVEN US EVERYTHING THAT PERTAINS TO LIFE AND GODLINESS and a believer is not "suppose" to be poor either. A believer can choose to be poor if he/she wants but he/she is not suppose to be poor when he/she knows his/her heritage in Christ. Glory to God! |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by Nobody: 5:42pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
i.chuka: i.chuka: i.chuka: Doctrine of demons!!! Pastors meat will be private jet when his members are dying of hunger |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by Nobody: 5:42pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
i.chuka: really !! A private Jet when 99% of his congregation is starving. Nigerians and greed , no wonder the country is in the current mess. smh |

Glory to God! no one is saying a xtian should be poor.The fact remains that you can still be a good xtian and remain poor depending on God's plan but these preacher's will claim it is a sin to be poor and all xtians are suppossed to be rich |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by ichuka(m): 5:50pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
chukwudi44:So the bible is now a Doctrine of demons abi! What stop his members of becoming a WORKMAN too.or is the bible a private book solely for MOG alone? |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by Nobody: 5:57pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
i.chuka: Where in the bible is such a demonic teaching taught that a pastor should live lavishly while his members wallow in abject poverty |

frosbel: The catholic church paved the way with the indulgences.those gold artifacts &communion cups u saw wen u visited vatican r not real gold. Na gold paint b dat.. Mayb they were painted leonardo da vinci. |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by ichuka(m): 5:58pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
frosbel:If 99% of his congregation decides to remain poor its there CHOICE,because poverty is by choice. The bible and the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is free for all. We are all called to be the WORKMEN/WOMEN OF GOD. |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by ichuka(m): 6:13pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
chukwudi44:Loiz... So pastors should wallow in abject poverty,because our Lord was ridden in abject poverty while He walked the land of Israel abi? |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by Goshen360(m): 6:15pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
chukwudi44: "...but these preacher's will claim it is a sin to be poor..." I don't see where Bible says it is a sin to be poor. So preachers who say such are liars. "...and all xtians are suppossed to be rich" "All" Christians who know their kingdom rights and heritage are suppose to be rich BUT unfortunately, NOT all Christians are rich and NOT all Christians will be rich. |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by Nobody: 7:05pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
Goshen360: While it is desirable for all xtians to be rich the fact remains that there are also genuine xtians who are poor not due to their own failings or inadequqcies but simply because God simply wants to test them or that is how he was willed them to be.A christian can either be rich or poor and yet remains a genuine xtian.That a xtian is poor does not always mean he is not genuine.God could have chosen to make Jesus a rich man on earth but he did not. Also none of his apostles could be said to have become stupendously rich even after his death and ressurrection Another teaching of the prosperity preachers is that one can only prosper by giving to their pastors or churches.Thes has been proven to be a fallacy as several non xtians who do not abide these principles are still been blessed materially by God. |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by UjSizzle(f): 7:12pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
Nobody should bring the whole Jesus did not own blah blah into this talk oo; that guy had major class. Did you ever see him beg for food? It was always 'you, I'll eat with you tonight'. |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by Zikkyy(m): 7:18pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
Goshen360: This is one truth these peeps will never accept. It is not possible to have a society where everyone is rich. That's why Christ said there will always be poor among the loaded. That's why Christ and the Apostles preached charity. |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by Goshen360(m): 7:19pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
chukwudi44: I cannot argue this truth because it is a false teaching of the prosperity preachers as you mentioned. |
Re: Who Originated The Prosperity Gospel by Zikkyy(m): 7:23pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
chukwudi44: True talk. Being rich is not an indicator that one has been accepted by God. |
