That's WAAAYYY less Christian than the numskull who gives all his money away to the needy, not only because they think they can use God's promises and blessings like he's some Genie in a lamp obligated to placate to our every whim if we word the chant just right to force his hand, but also as if in this sinful world where we're soaked in sin, "real" Christians get some sort of immunity force field to protect us. Tell that to every one of Jesus' disciples who were unhealthily Murdered, POOR (except of course John, who was just tarred and left for dead on an island, PENNILESS). God must have been so disapointed in them. If only they had blabbed... and then grabbed... what God owed them in promises of faith. Stupid apostles.

Health and Wealth Christians beware
Now, after saying my part in the last post, I feel obligated to obliterate the Health and Wealth Christians even moreso... you know the ones who say " It's not God's will that his people are poor or sick, so if you're a true Christian and have faith, you'll be healthy and wealthy. Just blab it and grab it, Claim it, and its yours, and if you don't have health and wealth, why, then your faith is weak and God's withholding his blessings because you haven't done enough to get that EVIL out of your life."

I like that you had this retort. I was thinking the same thing after I commented on the blog from yesterday. The whole "Prosperity Gospel" movement going down right now I would say is even worse than the aformentioned situation. John Piper goes off about it on youtube. I'll have to post it later
ReplyDeleteDang it all. Stupid blogger erased my comment. No time to re-do.
ReplyDeleteQuick version. Olsteen et al fall outside of 'mere Christianity.' Telling people that God and Christ are here to give us their desires falls outside of the meaning of Christianity if we are to adhere to a logical definition. My prayer is that as a totally depraved man, God will change my desires, not fulfill them.
