No my point is; this is a for real debate within Christianity. The division exists and if you don’t want to see it that is fine, but it doesn’t make it go away.
The prosperity Gospel, some feel is the true attack upon Christianity, as it is teaching a false gospel. Would you have it that no one cover this debate? If that is the case, then we might as well stop teaching about the formation of the early church, or the reformation.
The article appears to be making the argument that there are the two extremes: prosperity gospel Jesus who was a rich man versus liberation theology Jesus. That's how it frames the argument. Both are heresies (IMHO).
Would you have it that no one cover this debate?
I would rather not have a secular news service cover a debate between two heresies...which implies that one of the two, and no alternative, are right. (And, frankly, it appears to me that the article is biased toward the "prosperity gospel Jesus" caricature)
If that is the case, then we might as well stop teaching about the formation of the early church, or the reformation.
If CNN is going to cover it, that prospect might not be all that bad an idea.
