Thanks for the correction, you think I should give to the exchangers so He could receive with usury?
Ok exchangers? Usury? ...how about lets just keep it in today.
Give as you are led to give...to who you are led to give....and how and what you are led to give......
Getting my point? I am saying listen to the Holy Spirit and be obedient.
And if opportunity arises and the Holy Spirit isn't leading you to give...then give of your own joy and compassion.

The prosperity gospel clowns worship the same (lord) that was being worshipped when Jesus was climbing the mountains of Judea. Same today as yesterday.
I am NOT getting on this ship. No Thanks .
I don't like smearing people....especially if I don't know them.
I am a child of God by the power of Jeszus's death and resurrection.
I know Jesus, I have no knowledge of jesse and have no desire to know him if he is proclaim above Jesus.

if anyone is fooled by this demon who disguises himself as a angel of light, I beg of you fast and seek God the almighty, you are being fooled, you are not grounded in the word of God. Your flesh is taken over and quenched the spirit............ prosperity gospel is for this world and has nothing to do with spiritual reality
Have you ever really looked at the story of Solomon and his wealth.....
I Kings chapter 3 :5 At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon ‘ in a dream and God said ‘ Ask for whatever you want me to give you ‘..........
Samson considers what he needs.....
3:9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong ‘
This is how the Lord responds ..
3:10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this . Since you have asked for this and not long life or wealth for yourself nor asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment I will do what you have asked.
Now move on to see why he blessing him with wealth ( for we do know that he became wealthy )
3: 13 Moreover , I will give you what you have not asked for - both riches and honour - so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among Kings ....
The Lord wanted him to stand out .....there was purpose in that blessing, but it was not asked for or expected.

What you do with your own money is up to you, but what I don’t understand is the reality that he lives in a very luxurious way, where do you think his prosperity comes from, don’t get me wrong, some of the money probably does go to support all the projects his foundation support...... but some of it will be used elsewhere.
Giving is scriptural, helping others is scriptural - so things probably started out with good motives , but money can take hold.......also prosperity Christianity didn’t really come about until the 1950’s , although there are possible links to the New Thought movement in the 19th century. There is also ‘ The word of faith movement ‘ which influences many of the present day preachers who believe this is the right approach.
The movement actually denounces poverty , along with sickness and believes both are not necessary for a Godly life or bring Glory to God...........wow , that opens a can of worms !

Funny, against churches that ONLY preach the fake prosperity "gospel" but it's all good if they preach the fake prosperity "gospel" and mix a little of the true gospel in with it...
Wow. Unreal but not unbelievable.
A little leaven leaves the entire lump. Galatians 5:9

what did Solomon say about having all the stuff he ever wanted?? it was not good
what did Solomon end up at the end doing ?? it was not good
Dear brother your flesh is in control of you, turn to the spirit and be strengthen. If your spirit was in control you would not care much about what this earth holds. The prosperity gospel is very tricky and deceitful, if we are not in the word every day and chasing after God, we are easily tricked.

give me the verses so I can examine them for myself in context
No comment about Solomon then ?
Sickness and disease are a curse. Poverty is a curse not a blessing. Deuteronomy 28:17-17, 38-40,
I will look at the whole passage, but taking one verse from Deuteronomy isn’t really proof of the whole doctrine of sickness and poverty not bringing Glory to God or not being necessary for a Godly life.
How do you relate to Paul’s thorn in the side - being used by God to stop him from being conceited - in other words God used illness, issue..........
Also Paul had learned to be content in all circumstances , in want and in plenty , free or imprisoned , that means after he came to faith the Lord allowed him to be poor, free, Imprisoned and in plenty and he grew to be content within that - Paul most certainly brought Glory to God .......and the negative experiences were certainly necessary in order to teach Paul to be content and also, not to think to highly of himself.

Paul's thorn was attacks from satan==read and learn==Paul himself plainly states that this thorn in the flesh was given to him by a “messenger of Satan”
