Well I will make one. It appears to me that people tend to listen to people that make a ton of money. That tells me people are more worried about material things than they are their spiritual destiny.

I will add that this is one of the problems I have with the prosperity move in the church. Those that teach it tend to shift people's focus from spiritual awareness to material success.

Scripture warns us against trying to gain the world at the expense of our souls.

Hi Justaned,

Above you said: "...this is one of the problems I have with the prosperity move in the church. Those that teach it tend to shift people's focus from spiritual awareness to material success."

Would you have an example of that.

I have listened to the prosperity message for years and have NEVER heard anyone do that.

You are kidding right? How about the guy that says send in $1000 and God will return to you $10,000 you seriously don't think people are thinking more of chance for material wealth than of spiritual health.

Hi Ed,

What guy is that.... the one who says send 1,000 and you will get 10,000?

I don't know who that would be.

Not here to slander people I'm here to discuss theology and learn why others hold to the positions they hold to.

In other words there is nobody, you just made that up to bad mouth preachers.

If it makes you feel better saying that okay.
Actually I don't care much for preachers I honor and respect pastors.

In my book preachers are often people that make a living preaching what people want to hear. Pastors are people called to serve the church. One views his position as a career the other as a calling.
In otherwords if I call you a preacher I don't think much of you.
