Of course the Scripture says that the more God gives to a person, the more is expected of that person. If you are desiring greater wealth and prosperity then you need to be prepared for the extra responsibility that brings. If God gives you wealth and you use it just for yourself, then you...

Yes! Solomon had all the riches, homes, assets, and wives that he desired, yet at the end of his life, it all amounted to nothing, prompting him to say, "All is vanity". This is an object lesson for those who are questing after wealth and riches. When a person gets old and can no longer have...

The fact is that this world and everything in it will pass away, and that those who are friends with the world are no friends of God, and this includes those who hunger after worldly riches and goods. God promises to meet all our needs according to His riches in glory. All we can expect...

Quoting Scripture out of its natural context to prove a point is not convincing. I'm not opposed to Christian believers having wealth, because many, through God's sovereign grace are rich; but they did not acquire their wealth by covetous means or hungering and thirsting for it. And those...

If wealth and riches come to you just by believing and accepting, you should have them right now. You wouldn't have to work hard for them like normal people would. You could become a prosperity preacher, promising wealth and riches to those who contribute their $30 seed faith to your...

Quite so, but it would be according to the sovereignty of God for a particular purpose in His own mind; not because the individual "believed" or sought for it.

I agree entirely with the first part of your comment; however, how do you explain Paul in Thessalonians when he said that the dead in Christ shall rise first and then we who are alive will be caught up to meet Him in the air?

This is not material prosperity, but spiritual. There are Scriptures that speak of the deceitfulness of riches, and that having riches causes more problems that solutions. The Holy Spirit does not contradict Himself when He says that the love of money is the root of all evil, and speaks...

Faith is not a power in itself. If you are using faith as a power you are engaging in sorcery. Faith is believing the promises of God. God has not promised automatic material prosperity. You can believe for it until hell freezes over but it will never happen because the belief comes from...

The word "catholic" means universal. Up until the Bishop of Rome took over the overall leadership of it, the Christian church was a unified body presided over by regional bishops. In this sense it was the universal church and so the "catholic" label for the church was quite true. When the...

I think that was Pope John Paul I, who died in mysterious circumstances shortly after being installed as Pope. Some say he was poisoned because he intended to expose the corruption in the Vatican and bring significant reforms.

You can believe for stuff until the cows come home, but your believing will make no difference to the sovereignty of God, in that He does what He sees fit. He is not a vending machine to hand out our material wants. We have no power of choice, nor do we have any rights. He is the potter and...

I don't believe that prosperity preachers like Kenny Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Joel Osteen, or Joyce Meyer are born again. They represent counterfeit Charismatic and preach doctrines of devils while they ignore the Bible, or pervert the Scriptures to support their heretical views. So I don't...

The Pope is not born again, and therefore does not have the Holy Spirit. He is aligned with the god of this world, and so would accept any world religion the god of this world would present to him.

So, are some saying that poor people lack faith in Christ? So how come Paul went around all the gentile churches and raised funds for the relief of the believers in Jerusalem who did not have the resources to feed themselves and their families? Does this mean that the Jerusalem believers...

If your opinions are in line with written Scripture, then they are in harmony with God's Word, and being in harmony with God is certainly not idolatry.

This person is right into the occult and has said that if she wasn't guided by the spirits of dead black "martyrs" who were shot and killed by the police, she and her co-founders would not have had the strength to keep the BLM movement going. Therefore the BLM movement is guided by demon...

Just a minor point... It wasn't Jeremiah who gave the prophecy. It was Micah. Jeremiah therefore wasn't prophesying at that point. He was report that Micah prophesied, Hezekiah sought the Lord, and the Lord held back on the destruction of Jerusalem. With all the prophecies concerning...

There's an interesting point about the media. When Lester Sumrall, the well-known evangelist went to visit Smith Wigglesworth in Bradford, England, a little before the second world war, he had his newspaper under his arm. Wigglesworth wouldn't allow him to bring the newspaper into the house...

The actual prophecy by Jonah said 40 days. But the judgment didn't happen because the people repented. History tells us that it was much later that Nineveh was actually destroyed because the subsequent generations went back to their wicked ways.
