Too bad people will keep following religious leaders blindly. After collecting people's money and becoming stinkingly rich, they decided it's time to tell the truth. We'll know they've truly repented when they sell all they have gathered and give the money to the poor. Until then, it's still audio repentance. Even with this, pastors will still cash out big time using the prosperity gospel. Until the pastor of a church says it's a scam, members of that church will never use their heads. True freedom begins the day you break free from the bondage of religion. Then and only then will you discover your God and connect with Him gainfully. 2 Likes |

If I read the Bible/Koran and come up with 'a unique' interpretation, and I speak loudly of my conviction, eventually I would have followers, how fanatic they are is totally up to me! For the most part, people don't want to do the thinking themselves, 1 Like |

Cutehector:Every church is a cult. So are mosques, shrines, political parties, age grades, associations and every other group that holds certain beliefs and ideologies, and have a common and unique method of doing things. |

tctrills: Unfortunately, some people have become brilliantly dumb that nothing is true except it's authenticated by their pastors. I hope they get saved though. It's getting increasingly very difficult to make money, especially in Nigeria. Seeing people get ripped off of their money in the name of religion gives me a lot of concern. But the greedy pastors relish the ignorance of their followers and keep collecting from them with lies, bogus promises, threats, and whatever method they can think of. SAD!!! 3 Likes |

Yes. I had classmates that believed that a Christ filled person cannot be poor. I am not even a Christian but the core of Abrahimic religions is about obedience to God's words and how that is linked to paradise and hell. 3 Likes |

Realists:We're here discussing issues concerning Christians and you came out your cave to compare the Holy word of God to that incoherent book called the quaran, that's just a hearsay of what Mohammed heard from his Christian friends.

It's not scam, in as much as it inspires you to make more money and return 10% to them. There's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes I wish they can run our country like they run the new generational churches. Preach the gospel, inspire and motivate people to work harder, make more money and return 10% of whatsoever they made and then judiciously use the money to promote and project nation building through building quality education institutions |
Re: Is The 'Prosperity' Gospel A Scam? by CodeTemplar: 12:07pm On Nov 27, 2022 |
jesusjnr2020:prosperity is when something prospers. For those obsessed with money, getting more of it irrespective of what happens(killing stealing destroying) is all that matters to them. For others, getting money while your health health, soul and spirit improves without breaking Gods law is prosperity(I belong here). Prosperity is a vague term many are forcefully trying to give singular meaning. It cannot work. Even the bible talks about the prosperity of the wicked but clearly let's us see that it doesn't last beyond their lifetime on earth and creates destruction, loss, and death behind. God wishes his children prosperity, growth of the spirit and renewing of soul simultaneously. The difference between ungodly prosperity and godly one is that ungodly prosperity sacrifices spirit and soul prosperity to achieve temporal or earthly prosperity. |
