The Prosperity Gospel is the most amazing thing to ever come out of this country. Because like if there’s one thing Jesus was about more than anything else, it was unconditional help to the poor, and the PG is like “HAHA NOPE FUCK THAT.” It is total unequivocal proof that Christianity has become a meaningless label

Thank you, this never gets touched on enough in articles on this perversion of Christianity. Everybody talks about how being rich is a sign of moral righteousness but not that they also think being poor makes you an unrighteous degenerate.

just world bullshit.

And almost completely opposite in every way from what Jesus actually taught. It’s an incredible disgrace that so many so-called Christians have bought into this utterly anti-Christian tripe because of sheer greed.

Don’t forget what the Bible says about Trump’s refusal to set up a blind trust.

He’d probably be all about prima nocta too.

I mean, I wasn’t sure I was ever going to see a black Democratic president in my lifetime. So, yeah.

Next up, Trump tries to bring the Divine Right of Kings to the Oval Office. I got elected with 2.86M less votes, so it’s obvious gawd chose him.

Prosperity gospel is an evil heinous perversion of Christianity that has really helped to give rise to the powerful right. It is everything wrong with American rich, right wing “Christians” and it makes me livid. Way to take a message that actually has some merit and twist it to allow yourself to feel really really

Just then, a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”

Matthew 6:24 applies as well:

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body;

Of course she’s needy. She married a guy from Journey, and it wasn’t even Steve Perry.

According to the Prosperity Gospel Assholes, the needy are poor as punishment for their sins. If they were better people, they’d be rewarded by God. The first step towards becoming a better person is to hand over cash to the pastor.

So the spiritual advisor to the man who dismisses any criticism of himself as “fake news”, dismisses any criticism of herself as attacks from Satan.

Spiritual fitness? I feel like I failed PE all over again

Prosperity Gospel assholes are the worst. The. Worst.

And that’s where the conversation stalls, as the crux of the issue for groups like New Wave Feminists is they don’t see abortion as women’s rights.
