Just kidding. It's not unknown to me. As much as I may question things, I actually know a tidbit about this stuff because we grew up reading the Bible, and my father, who was a preacher for some time in the past, taught us a lot too. Anyway, I had quite a lengthy discussion with my father this morning about this article posted on CNN.com. It was an intriguing article, which generated an interesting conversation...and I also learned more things, which I always love. What was even more interesting (and entertaining) was all the comments readers made. Whether you believe in Jesus or not, I'm sure you'd have an opinion about the "prosperity gospel." My father and I have some points that we discussed, but for now check it out. I may post some things we discussed later. We'll see. :)
Was Jesus wealthy?

Ok, I have to comment :)
ReplyDeleteTo keep it simple, I do not believe in a prosperity gospel of material wealth or success (my personal life can attest to this). Rather, I believe in a gospel who's reality brings untold riches in immaterial things to those who will believe - i.e. faith, eternal life, knowledge of God's infinite beauty, etc. These things are so much better!
Looking forward to further observations from u if you decide to post them.
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
