        Yes, the poster child for the sham & emptiness that is prosperity theology of which white evangelicals are so enamored. It is a complete corruption of Christianity.

        Too bad Jesus never once said anything positive about wealth and greed, but evangelical leaders never really pay attention to any of Jesus’ words, fo they?

        You obviously need to reread the Gospels. There was no beatitude saying, “Blessed are the rich.” Wealth was not a blessing in Jesus’s vision of the world, it was something that kept one further from God, in other words, a curse.

        So you don't believe that everything we have is from God.....all gifts all talents all things of this world....and that He waits to see how good of stewards we are with what we have been given....many parables were on this very topic

        The Prosperity Gospel is a heresy.

        How then has “Prosperity Gospel” become so pervasive in the Christian faith?

        I agree 100%, but that still doesn’t answer my question. If Prosperity Gospel is being preached by more and more churches quoting passages from the Bible. Is your point that Christianity is all about greed and self enrichment?

        The variations of teachings of the Bible have turned it into commercialism That’s why we have so many different faiths The preaching should never involve political connotations as that is never a teaching of the Bible . The amassing wealth preachers are requiring is intolerable
