    Dan Seely commented on The Prosperity Gospel

    Great video! I am currently living and ministering in Africa and have seen first-hand the long term effects and mindset that the prosperity gospel produces. People are "coming to Jesus" not because they have been regenerated or are responding to the grace of God but because they want something for themselves. Now I'm not saying that it's wrong for genuinely poor people to desire to have their physical needs met, but it is absolutely wrong to twist the true gospel so that people respond to get their needs met.

    The prosperity "gospel" is one of those "another gospel[s]" that Paul talks about in Gal 1:6-9. It takes the eternal message of Christ and perverts it with a message of immediate, physical, and material blessings. For those who say that desiring and praying for and "craving prosperity is non-negotiable," what about 1 Timothy 6:6-11? They must ignore or twist this passage to continue preaching like they are.

    These prosperity preachers are literally robbing from the poor by giving false promises of material blessings which they say are sure to come "if you have enough faith" - a faith which must be evidenced by giving money to these false prophets so they can get rich.
