The prosperity gospel will find no corner in which to hide its head on this blog, so let me start with a simple list of problems inherent to the message that Jesus died to deliver us from poverty.
- The prosperity gospel is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- The prosperity gospel urges sinners to commit idolatry.
- The prosperity gospel denies God’s sovereign purposes for pain as revealed in Scripture.
- The prosperity gospel ignores Biblical teaching on wealth.
- The prosperity gospel discourages logical thought about the Bible, a work ethic, sickness, economics, and politics.
- The prosperity gospel requires other heresies to support it such as deification and positive confession.
- The prosperity gospel inoculates people from hearing the truth because they think they already know Gospel.
- The prosperity gospel has never been accepted in the Christian church until the 1980’s.
- The prosperity gospel contradicts the lives of the many godly but poor believers in the Bible and history.
