I didn't know god could wipe out one's financial debt?! For only $900.00! WOW! What a concept!
Damn, it cost me over a thousand dollars to file bankruptcy years ago using a lawyer doing it the old fashioned way! I could have saved $100.00! Had I known or truly believed that god does wondrous things with money I might have stayed in church!
Live and Learn. Listen to the men in cloth, the preacher men, they are the closest one can get to the god!
Christians Bilking Christians
Welcome to the world of the "prosperity gospel," where the only people we know for sure are prospering are the ministers running the show.
‘When you (donate), the windows of heaven...open for you...100 fold.' ‘Debt cancellation!' (The on-screen message: ‘Call now with your $900 offering and receive God's debt cancellation!')"
In her book, God's Profits: Faith, Fraud, and the Republican Crusade for Values Voters (PoliPointPress, 2008,) Sarah Posner pointed out that the Word of Faith movement, which Morris Cerullo has been part of, "emphasizes the power of the born-again believer in Jesus Christ to call things into existence, including the believer's own physical and mental health and, most important, the believer's financial prosperity."
Posner also noted that "critics of Word of Faith charge that it is a heresy that robs its followers of spiritual fulfillment; an affinity fraud that robs them of their money, and a distortion of the Scriptures, run by authoritarian preachers ..."
The bottom line: The so-called "prosperity gospel" or "the health and wealth gospel" has undoubtedly become a prosperous enterprise for those soliciting bucks from believers.
Gosh, some people (heads of churches) really do get what they pray for!
Seems the quickest way to stop the creep towards becoming a Theocracy would be to stop giving money to the Preachers and Churches. They don't need BIGGER houses, Designer Perfume, more cars or protected Family Compounds. Obviously they think there is no more poverty or real charities if they are spending THE DONATIONS on their selfish selves..
Maybe the best protest is keep your own money and TAX these phony Holy houses.
Stop the Politics of Religious Corruption!
Shucks, I'll gladly pray for your sorry ass if you send me some money too! OY!
