My older sister fell hook line and sinker for the Prosperity Gospel. She invited me once to her mega-church and I what I heard there I swore I would never go back. The minister, Casey Treat had every one stand up and then asked those who gave 10,000 or more in the year to sit down. Then, 5000, then 1000, then 500, leaving only those standing who gave less. Then he went on with his lecture sermon in which he said the more rich you are the more blessed by God you are, and that if you could not afford to give as much money as the rest - then its because you are not right with God. It was humiliating.

WOW.

That certainly doesn’t sound like something Jesus Christ would do. It was the sinners who hung out around him and wanted only to touch his garment and be healed.

It’s a good thing Jesus never preached about the taxcollector who gave a ton to the church and the widow who gave two cents. It might confuse some of these prosperity folks.

Maybe when they see the light it will be the fires of hell.
