Doctufos: Observations of Rastus 8:1-14


CHAPTER EIGHT
1. I have observed and known how a homo can make much wealth without much work. This is better done in the ways of religion.
2. Go now to the temples of the religious people and you shall see how they sell cheap things at costly prices.
3. In the temple of the Jews do they sell a holy dove for eighty shekels of silver. And a fold of shittim wood do they sell for two hundred shekels of silver.
4. And a curtain of linen do they sell for fifty-two shekel of silver, whose worth in the market is only twelve shekels.
5. But they have called it the holy curtain because they sell it in the temple. And the holiest among the holy curtains do they sell for a thousand shekel of silver. And these are bought only by the rich, who used them for their secret chambers, believing that they cannot be attacked by thieves whenever they are behind the curtains.
6. And a bottle of olive oil is sold for seventy shekels in the temple, saying that it is holy and anointed by God.
7. And the priests grow fat upon the money of the poor. As they do in the temple of Furin and Dian, so also do they in the temple of the Jews.
8. In the church of the Krishtens also, they do so. For they buy and sell holy shadows of the apostles, deceiving themselves upon nothing.
9. And when they have deceived themselves, testifying of how they are cured of diseases which they have not been cured of, they come after the physicians, confessing their follies.
10. But the damages are already done, because many have believed in them already and have also neglected the ways of herbs for cure.
11. And they shall be worse before they shall think to go the way of the physicians.
12. Now this is my instruction to all in this generation and the generation to come; let not religion be mixed with health issues.
13. For when you are sick, go after the physicians immediately, rather than asking a god to cure you of your sickness.
14. Or else it shall be too late for you to be cured.

Lol Daddy freeze sef.. Benny Hinn admitting his errors at this critical period is somehow suspicious. Is he scared that the end might be near too soon?. He was among those that pioneered prosperity Gospel and the seed have fully germinated that there is no way to uproot it.The damage is done and almost irreversible. it is left for the new generation of preachers to correct the aberration but I dont see that happening soon..An igbo adage says " Aru gba afo oburu omenala ".
Let hope that God will send true laborers into the harvest, labourers who will preach the true Gospels and not those who will bend it to satisfy their selfish desires.

Popular Israeli televangelist, Benny Hinn, has faulted pastors, whose sermons[b] only focus on prosperity and living ostentatiously.[/b]

Benny Hinn, while reflecting on Billy Graham’s death in a Facebook Live broadcast, called on preachers of the gospel to stop living extravagant lives and start living according to God’s instruction.

According to him, everything should be about Jesus not other extravagant things

“We get attacked for preaching prosperity, well it’s in the Bible, but I think some have gone to the extreme with it sadly, and it’s not God’s word what is taught and I think I’m as guilty as others. Sometimes you go a little farther than you really need to go and then God brings you back to normality and reality,”

He admitted that as he has grown older and come to understand the Bible more, he now realizes that some of the things he learned from preachers when he was growing up weren’t biblical and the popular interpretation of the prosperity gospel — 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 is one of those things.

“The more you know the Bible the more you become biblically based and more balanced in your opinions and your thoughts because we are influenced. When I was younger I was influenced by the preachers who taught whatever they taught. But as I’ve lived longer I’m thinking wait a minute, you know this doesn’t fit totally with the Bible and it doesn’t fit with the reality. So what is prosperity? No lack. I’ve said this before.

“Did Elijah the prophet have a car? No. Did not even have a bicycle. He had no lack … Did Jesus drive a car or live in a mansion? No. He had no lack. How about the apostles? None lacked among them.

“Today, the idea is abundance and palatial homes and cars and bank accounts. The focus is wrong … It’s so wrong.”

“I mean forgive me. People have accused me of things that aren’t even real. One guy wrote a comment ‘Oh he’s worth 40 million.’ Oh how I wish. I would give it all to the Kingdom before God Almighty.

“‘Well he flies private jets,'” he continued mimicking criticism. “No, I don’t. I have not flown private in dear God years. I fly commercial just like anyone else.

“We all sadly make the mistake of thinking that this is what God wants and God says ‘No, that’s not what I want.’ It’s time to live biblically. You know it all comes down to one thing. Do we love Jesus, yes or no? If we love Jesus then it’s all about Jesus. If we don’t love Jesus then it’s about other things.

OtemAtum:
The DOCTUFOS OF TRUTH have said the truth. To make money easily, tell lies to the sheeple. That's the fact. Benny Hinn milked the sheeple when he was young and now that he is very old, he is coming out to confess. Hmm.

jared007:
Why do christians complain about prosperity in christendom? Isnt it scriptural to prosper? Is health, success and spiritual growth not part of prosperity? Is giving to the gospel a problem in christianity? Go and see how the Illuminati, Muslims, Jews and Jesuits are releasing money to see the destruction of fundamental christianity.

jamael:
Please, see what Benny Hinn said:



Everyone knows that that is not right.



Word!!!



So true.

It is very good for ministers to also consider their messages and the emphasis they place on it in relation to the emphasis God places on it in His word. The prosperity gospel is summed up in Mathew 6: 33
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you"

paxonel:

Muslims or Jews destroying christians is caused by brainwashing too, just like prosperity messages in christianity.
Prosperity gospel do not ensure equal circulation of resources in the church that's why it's undesirable. It makes only pastors becoming richer while the vast majority of church members who contribute so much money to the church are poor and frustrated sheeples. I'm very sure you are one of those who are not benefiting anything from the system yet you support it with your last drop of blood, it's so because you were brainwashed.
Only can emancipate yourself now

NOETHNICITY:
One of their agent has surfaced at last...
They will strike fear in people by highlighting an unexisting campaign against christianity so that they will continue to dole out money to fund the expensive live style of the fake pastors.

Can't you see Christianity has become so adulterated that the message is now completely empty but loaded with prosperity message that the religion is nolonger a threat to any of those religion you highlighted above owing to its emptiness?

BushWickBill:

I think you are taking it too far
Just look at the number of unbelieving people who are rich and ask how material blessings is exclusively for Christians as a blessing from God. There lies the irony about the prosperity gospel to me; how atheists and non Christians become rich without following the "doctrine" of the so called prosperity gospel.
Preachers just feed on the gullibility of Christians and cash in on their naïveté to become rich while selling a largely ineffective "gospel"

And they wonder why they are derisively called sheeple

paxonel:
I think Benny hinn has also acknowledged that even people of third world countries like Nigeria have started asking questions, he must have heard about Daddy freeze. So he quickly switch to the other side and apologize.
This is very good.

NOETHNICITY:
Hinn is a smart guy
But the last tin our own greedy Nigerian pastors will do is apologise and switch....

Would you be so kind to translate the Igbo addage for people ignorant of the language like me?

BushWickBill:

Please preach to those who think it is"scriptural to be prosperous".
It's so obvious that material things will block your true progress in being a Christian.
But our fake GOs and Bishops and Pastors won't hear the message from Mr Hinn. even those frauds who copy off Benny Hinn's style (Christopher Oyakhilome-I'm looking straight at you because you have absolutely nothing original about you)

Unfortunately most Christians want the material things before the kingdom of God, that is why there are so many lying fake cheating scumbags who go to church with nothing resembling Christ posing as Christians

nans24:
Interesting.

Refund which money? Money that god has eaten.

SOUNDS LIKE GOD IS IN COMPETITION WITH THE JAMB SNAKE, FOR WE EATS MONEY THE MOST.

costandi:
Christopher Oyakhilome? You have obviously lost touch with reality.
