What’s So Dangerous About the Prosperity Gospel?

- Isaac Adams-pastor at Capitol Hill Baptist Church-discusses the dangers of the prosperity gospel when it sneaks into the teaching of the church.
#Quote "The best lies are mixed with truth" thanks for this light
which is why the bible says you have to study the word to know it for yourself, this way you wont be deceived. And so you'll be able to stand in the hard times that lay ahead for us
God bless you for this bold message. Deceit is subtle and cleverly done.
I pray Jesus protects you, and your family, good sir. I am praying for you now. I love you, sir. Please, keep preaching the Truth in the face of persecution?
Please pray for my mom
She’s being deceived by these teachings
So you have a problem with her wanting to leave behind a legacy and inheritance for you...being poor is ungodly. Are you saying you dont want her to be able to provide for herself and that you have the means to care for her in her old age...or...you expect her to live a crummy life...make it make sense breh
Undergird and sneaky are definitely key words here. False theology can definitely sneak into messages with a lot of truth in them. Steven Curtis Chapman, in one of his songs, phrased it as “making theory out of facts until they’re all deceived.” Thanks for sharing!
I concur with the presenter that it is dangerous. It is a spirit of enticement to sin. God has never promised that material weath leads to spiritual gain. We should pursue the things of God, not money
Thank you & Amen 😃
I’m sorry but I have listened to plenty of prosperity teaching and have NEVER heard anyone say that money gives spiritual gain.
It's actually the opposite that is taught-spiritual gain leads to material wealth. Which is still very dangerous
Thanks Jordan peels
I did a spit-take when I read this 😆
You are absolutely right!! Very well said, too, I might add. When a pastor leads in wealth and prosperity, the congregation's example is more about this world and what they can have here; rather than the next life and what awaits them there. Even a pastor can become too joined to this world, which reveals itself in lifestyle rather than life itself.
Do you believe the "happy wife, happy life" phrase is also wrong? As men I feel we lead our wives into an eternal mindset; not a worldly mindset. We love them and provide for them, but we also must keep the context in our life that this world is not our home; we live unto a kingdom of another realm; so let's live Christ: "Love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength", and "Let's love others as we love ourselves."
I think, regarding wealth, the goal is 2 Corinthians 8:7-15 (vs. 15 being a quote from Exodus 16:18). Paul did not demand them to live this out; however, it was right that the whole congregation was willingly living to live this out. Faith has to grow into this mindsel.
God Bless you Isaac, and thanks for posting this.
What's so dangerous about thus prosperity gospel?Everything! It is preachers giving false hope to the people and telling them to turn over them money to these lying preachers
Thankyou for this 💕💕💕🔥🔥 God bless u.
Thank you for explaining!!
THANKS FOR TELLING THE TRUTH I HAVE NUMBER OF DEAR FRIENDS BELIEVE IN THIS MESS ITS SAD SAD
“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
- Jesus, Mark 11:23-24
A man can only have one master. Careful what you ask for
Amen boo boo bear we can have whatever we ask according to Gods will! He has plans to prosper us not to harm us! To give us life and give it abundantly .. we may have to walk through deserts and valleys that are there to strengthen us but God wants us healed, whole, and financially stable
@@JaneDoe-lw6eh Amen Jane. "By his stripes we are healed." That means physical healing as well as salvation. Most of the Western church no longer believes that God wants to heal or prosper us, and they don't trust the Holy Spirit. My family left the EFCA denomination because they are so hostile to God's healing. Now we attend a charismatic church in Ohio that teaches all God's truth. Where do you live?
Christianity is the gateway drug to Prosperity Gospel. If you think you're above it, don't. It's a fine line between accepting "free" help and becoming emotionally indebted. The ideals I was brought up to believe was like secret kindnesses, never trying to grasp glory, just doing nice things for others as quietly as possible. As I watched my parents descend into Prosperity Gospel, I noticed the kindness was only doled out in church and among other Christians. It's no longer about helping the community, but rather only for Christians "in fellowship." This extends to business networking AT CHURCH along with political "articles" (aka ads) in their newsletters to support Christian candidates. They are still tax exempt somehow. The more I've seen, the less I want to see. I've become an atheist since seeing how belief can switch so easily depending on what believers wanna hear.
Don't be atheist. Call on Jesus Christ yourself
…If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow ME. (Matt 19:21)
WE LOVE YOU
Well said
God wants us well.
Besides it being a lie?
Amen
Not at all sneaky... To anyone who reads (prayerfully), God's Word for themselves.
Laziness in the believer means you are satisfied with having someone tell you what the Word says...If the preaching centers on the wallet,Run...he he😱
I'm still waiting for scriptural authority from the accusers of the charismatic movement. Seems to work for me alright. All they have is a fear that people will begin to see that the "charismatics" are living out the book of Acts and lo and behold what will happen, their pews will be emptied of the religious sheep who will start reading the word and believing it for themselves. I will know a tree by it's fruit. The blasphemy from the so called "conservative" "orthodox" Christians is so ridiculous and deceitful, where they will say "What would Jesus do?" and then proceed to put money into the blind beggars bowl instead of saying, "Be healed." I am personally fed up of the inconsistency between the word of God and the "mainline" denominations, if anything they are a sham.
+Caleb Standen Prosperity Gospel and Charismatic are not the same thing. This video is against the Prosperity Gospel. Charismatics are not Prosperity Gospel. Prosperity Gospel teaches that "if you give me money, God will bless you." Try telling that to some poor tribes in Africa. The few places that did work, some African people lost everything they had, because they gave it to the millionaire preacher who flew back home on his private jet, because he does not want to fly on public airliners, because public airliners are "full of demons, or full of demon possessed people." There was a woman who died of cancer, because she genuinely believed that if she gave all of her life's savings to one of these Prosperity Gospel preachers, she would be healed, because they told her that. So she gave her all the money she could have used to get hospital treatment to these people, and she did not have anything left, and she still died of cancer. The Bible does not say that we will gain material wealth when we become Christians. It says we will gain SPIRITUAL wealth in Heaven. SPIRITUAL TREASURES. If the Prosperity Gospel is true, than why did Paul, and all of the Apostles of Jesus, and early Church Fathers get persecuted and killed for their faith? Paul, the best of all of us Christians, who wrote over half of the New Testament definitely had strong powerful faith in Jesus Christ. Yet, his life was full of prison sentences simply for being a Christian, ship wrecks, persecution, etc, and he got beheaded. Where was his mansion? Why did he not have a lot of money if the Prosperity Gospel is true? If anyone deserved a castle, it'd be Paul.
Even Apostle John, the writer of the Book of Revelation was exiled on the Isle of Patmos. He was not enjoying a luxurious life of exile, eating exotic fruit either. He was in a labor camp.
@@valeriouscatastros8717 okay, so question, since you seemed to have it figured out. You referred to Paul so let's continue on his teachings. "Have you shed blood since you believed?" Have you been shipwrecked, imprisoned, whipped, on the run, persecuted, prosecuted, beaten? I seem to highly doubt that. I mean, who in this current era in the western hemisphere, whether they believe what you believe or in the inverse is suffering to this degree? I mean, if the suffered that way, then we should to right? I'm sure that's the point you were trying to prove. In the end, it would seem as if God's blessings should stop from being financial as according to you. As if, Christians should strive to be poor or maintain their poverty so they can be 'rich in faith' right?
@@FunInJamaicaDOTNET That is certainly not what I meant. God will bless you financially, but not necessarily "give me money, and God will bless you." Believe it or not I have given a 1,000 dollar "seed" before to a very big international ministry (this year actually) but God does not always bless you financially (In my case he did, but he's not required or obligated to). Prosperity Gospel says you will be blessed financially, or cured of any ailment or disease. Not necessarily. It is not witchcraft. You cannot force your will on God. Perhaps you can force your will on demons or lesser spirits/angels using the power of the Holy Ghost (all power is given unto you over the Kingdom of Darkness, and Hosts of Heaven) but not God himself.
That's something not a lot of Christians get nowadays. People need to start listening to people like John Ramerez instead of Joel Osteen. Engage in spiritual warfare, fight in the spirit, pray in the spirit, etc. Not worry about materialism, or material wealth. Prosperity Gospel is all about material wealth.
Again, it is horrible the Apostles got persecuted and killed. I am just saying, if anyone deserved a fancy mansion or castle from the "Prosperity Gospel" if it was a true Doctrine would be Paul, Peter, James, John, etc. What happened to Job and Joseph in Egypt is not a 100% guarantee for everyone. King Solomon made a sacrifice unto the Lord of 1,000 burnt offerings and was blessed with great wisdom. Smartest human to ever live, besides Jesus of course. No mortal human king, president, or Prime Minister will ever be as wise, smart, or great as Solomon. So don't think for one second, that *YOU* of all people is going to get the same blessings that King Solomon gets just because a "Prosperity Preacher" told you so. Like we can force God to do what we want...pfft. God is not some lesser deity, or demon that can be commanded like a slave, like how Solomon could command demons, or how some past great Missionaries, Popes, Apostles, Saints, and Pastors could command entities in the spirit world like servants, and maids.
You want a romantic relationship? Ask God, and pray for it. But you cannot force him. If he don't answer? Go command Asmodeus to do it. Demon Prince of Hell who is in charge of, and is the "god" of lust, adultery, testosterone and masculinity. You need a job? Ask God, and pray for it, then put in applications. Still getting no calls? Time to use that power that the Holy Spirit has given you to command the Angelic Hosts of Heaven/Army of Heaven, and Demons of Hell to give you what you want. But *GOD* is on the *THRONE,* and he will not bow to anyone beneath him. He, and he alone is to be worshipped. You can ask him for stuff...sure, and sometimes he will bless you, and give you what you ask for...but you cannot force him, he's God. *You are not.*
So can God bless you financially if you give financially to the church? Absolutely! He did it to me! But he is not *required* to do so by any means, and cannot be forced. God has paid his debt already by sending his Son to die on the Cross for our Sins. He did his part. Now he wants us to do our part. His part of the debt is paid. Ours is not. When Jesus died on the cross he said "It is finished." Then he rose three days later. He fulfilled his part already.
@@valeriouscatastros8717 seed time and harvest is not just a Christian principle. It's a principle of life. Read Genesis 8:22. What you sow, that shall you also reap. It applies to the just and the unjust. Sow hard work, reap success. You sow a seed you reap a harvest. It has nothing to do with forcing God to do anything. He has given us the principle of seedtime and harvest from life began. So I'm truly at a loss for words at your reply. Jesus even goes as far as saying that if you sow sparingly you shall reap sparingly. If you sow bountifully then by this same measure you shall reap. In terms of the reaping aspect, you may jolly well be right that this may not be limited to financial blessings, but I guarantee that it doesn't exclude it either. My opinion is that our seeds (be it money, time, resources, prayer and all) produce a harvest as God diversifies our investment and gives us returns in the form of health, healing, deliverance, favor, short-term, long-term miracles and riches stored up in heaven. We don't dictate how we reap, but it is a principle that we WILL!
Lastly, Malachi 3:10, "'Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it."' What does that sound like to you? Jesus, himself, says that God loves a cheerful giver. Paul, writes in Hebrews that those that seek the Lord diligently must believe that God is a rewarder. So please, stop this nonsense and trust in Him unwaveringly and let us stop arguing about things that are clearly and carefully documented in His Word.
Yes its so sad how Gods word turned to money
I get it!!
Read to show yourself approval
I will beat god up
I’m seeing a lot of pro-Charismatic comments from black reform celebs.
Just wandering...is it possible to be in a Charismatic church without it being a Prosperity Gospel church?
TAS Selah
Yes. Being Charismatic is simply believing that the spiritual gifts that Jesus and the Apostles expressed carry on today. If you have no problem accepting that the Apostles preached the true, self-sacrificing gospel, then the clearly spiritual gifts are compatible with the real gospel.
@@IAmisMaster yes! I dislike when people say "charismatic" people are in the prosperity gospel. We simply believe what the Bible teaches. And we believe God has not changed. Also idk why people just assume we are demonic and it just makes me sad
I know that prosperity is a false teaching. But what about these biblical passages Wich talks about prosperity? If teaching this is bad, so Why is there many part in the scriptures where prosperity is written ( and I've seen a lot ! )
I'm kinda lost actually... Can someone help me to understand this point?
Thanks.
0:53 show me proof of any prosperity church/preacher that says “you need Jesus plus this”
1:16 I’ve listened to prosperity gospel my whole life, and NEVER have I EVER heard them say God gives people cancer. In fact it is the prosperity teachers who’ve warned me that many old testament teaching preacher preach of the wrath of God and how he puts you through terrible situations for not having faith. You got it completely wrong, so totally wrong I’m ashamed for you!
Examples include:- Make a "Faith™" offering of $1000 to receive your 7 fold "blessing™".
Buy "Holy™" anointing oil for $1000 to receive your "healing™".
MuantanamoMobile The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver”
While I understand you’re exaggeration, and I’m not saying those churches are always right in how they phrase it, but God does in fact bless a cheerful giver. And people who can afford “$1000” offerings and gives that much yet also is happy to give will reap the benefits from God. I’ve even expedited this in my own life. As a cheerful giver God blesses you, you might not see it right away but it takes effect eventually. And sometime you do see the blessings right away.
If you enjoy highly controversial, true-to-life, faith-based novels covering subjects such as spiritually abusive pastors, legalism, betrayal in the church, female pastors, and the absurdity of the prosperity gospel, try Randall Arthur’s books. Internationally-based dramas, his books earn 4 + stars on Amazon. Fantastic novels!
You guys should do a video about the dangers of the woke/social justice gospel. Oh wait . . .
Who finances TGC? How do they get the finance to do these ads? Did you get paid for making this add? why all these ads all of a sudden?
The devil fuels the desires of our flesh when he tempts us, his purpose is to cut us off of God. Those fleshly desires are not always obvious, such as money and fame, It could be a "noble" desire like to defeat sin. When we want to do it all by ourselves of course it is not noble either.
Remember when Jesus went to the wilderness to be tempted by the devil?
Well so did I. Shortly after I became a Christian.
When I was burdened and got extremely hungry for power over sin,
the devil said: if you are a child of God command your sins, burdens, and bondages to go away in Jesus' name.
I said: power over sin alone does not make me alive, but it is written if I do my Father's will, I will live.
Then the devil said: it is written that you are a saint. Now deepen this knowledge and live accordingly!
I said it is also written that in me (that is in my flesh) there is no good thing.
Then he said: if you follow my methods you will be exceedingly free and never have to worry about sin again.
I said it is written you should worship the Lord your God, and HIM ONLY you should serve.
....
Just kidding!!!
Unfortunately I did not give those answers. Instead I let myself be deceived by the lies of the prosperity gospel for a long time.
You can commit the sin of covetousness and greed and be homeless. You can love money and be broke or be rich. Don’t preach against prosperity until you give up all your own money. Cuz you need it to have an internet connection and a computer. But I forgot, the perfect amount of prosperity you can have and not be in sin, is conveniently probably the exact amount you have for yourself. Lol
Ask yourself this: was Jesus "prosperous?"
As Christians, collectively, united within our denominational diversity, we are the "Catholic," as the Church as Universal. I'm not referring to the Roman Catholic Church, I am affirming that where "two or three of you gather in My Name (Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior), there I Am present."
The wealthy, young man who was "closer to The Kingdom of God than he knew;" well, sadly for himself decided that he would not sacrifice his economic affluent "Prosperity."
Affluence, or health and wealth, literally kept this man from potentially walking with and following God as Man, and we'll never know, perhaps even becoming an Apostle of The early Church directly established by Christ's mandate. This so-called "gospel of prosperity" is a serious departure from authentically Orthodox Christianity. It is both anathema and Heresy. This is to say that it is simply this: a fabrication and a lie which always originates with The Father of Lies: Satan. There is no rationalizing or condoning this patently false doctrine which is tantamount to being nothing short of Satanic and diametrically opposed the Evangel of Our Lord and Savior whose own words are Holy Scripture, as inerrant Scripture recorded in The New Testament of the Holy Bible.
Christ's teachings directly condemn and oppose this demonically inspired and blasphemous trend in American secular culture. Without a doubt it has nothing to do with Christ's Church or authentic Christian teaching, practice as Christian Discipleship.
I coudn´t agree more! Whenever I hear something of the prosperity gospel I automatically think of Jesus and the young rich man. And Jesus´words about the rich and the camel. I really wonder how people knowing the Gospel can believe the prosperity gospel teachers. They believe it because they want to believe it as it promises health and wealth and a paradisaic life.
And the worst effect of the prosperity gospel is that rich and healthy Christians look down on poor and sick Christians telling them that they do something wrong with God and that they have to have more faith.
Will people believing prosperity gospel go to hell when they die? Please explain if you understand. Thank you. GBU
Yes, those who continue to believe such false gospels as this one will undoubtedly end up dying and burning forever in Hell, unless they truly repent of their sins and put their complete trust in Jesus's perfect life, His death on the cross and His bodily resurrection for the forgiveness of their sins and their justification.
In fact, in what I consider the most convicting, sobering and terrifying passage in all of Scripture, which is found in Matthew 7, Jesus Himself declares that on Judgement day, many will say to Him, "Lord, Lord! Didn't we prophesy, cast out devils and perform many miracles in Your name?", but He will reply to them, "I never knew you! Depart from me, you who work iniquity!"
No one burns in hell for ever. We serve a metciful God. When you die you await either 1st or second resurrection. If you reject God and his laws after the second resurrection you will be burnt in the lake of fire. And live no more. Dead for ever.
The passage you're refering to is Matthew 7:15, where we are warned by Jesus Himself to beware of false prophets who come in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
NOT TRUE SIR, THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL IS NOT JESUS AND PLUS SOMETHING ELSE. After all, Jesus provided everything through his word for every need. The gospel is good news. And to the poor, it is they have been made rich by his poverty. To the sick healing is good news. To those in prison freedom is good news. He says, the blessings of Abraham have come upon the Gentiles. The more you hate the prosperity gospel the more you despise scripture promises like in the house of the righteous there are wealth and treasures. If only John did not say, I wish that you prosper, and be in good health, even as your soul prospers. Is it money or the love of money that is the root of all evil? Love not the world or the things in the world, what things, like cars, jewels, name brand clothing, etc yet how many of you who have two jackets or two pairs of shoes would give your brother or your sister one pair? Rightly Jesus said, if you going to judge the speck in your brother's eye, first remove the log out of your own eyes.
Sorry bro I think your response is silly and small minded
Take the vow of poverty. Let’s see how holy you can become. Quit spouting Oprah Winfrey nonsense.
Prosperity is a sin, if you have more than he does. Please quit trying to get more subscribers, cuz that would be greedy and prosperous.
So then, please take a personal vow of poverty. Unless you can be specific as to the amount of money or assets that qualifies as prosperity. My guess is, anything up to what YOUR income level is would be acceptable and not the love of money. Anything OVER and above your level of income is probably greed in your eyes. Hypocrite. When you set the bar, you become the judge. Again, take a vow of poverty and watch your UA-cam posts disappear. Cuz oh ya! You need cash to post nonsense
