Anyone offended of the health and wealth gospel in Christian churches? | |

So they think that you can force Holy Spirit to give you free money etc. It does not work this way!!! Only some small fractions of church are free of this prosperity theology, and stick to the Bible. The others have sold their souls to Satan, to get more visitors to church and more donations to support the poor economy situation of church. |

Does anyone get offended of our churches turning into circus arenas with shouting priests, powerful music and shiny-looking visual experiences? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27811313 [link to en.wikipedia.org] Yes, of course. The National Council of Churches has been subverted by the NWO. Wake up! |

Any real Christian churches there left? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27811313 I'm sure that there are some that are still preaching the word. But most of them have fallen.WHY NO REVIVAL?...

Christ never emphasized money except to warn about it and he never had any wealth on this earth. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23943453 REVEREND WONDERFUL... [link to www.chick.com] |
| telling it straight User ID: 1461054 11/19/2012 09:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, OP....I'm sick of all of that. Add to that list the 20-30 minutes for the time for "tithes and offerings" where people are pressured and manipulated to give to those big, shiny churches. How they will (and are falling!) God is restoring His church and taking us back to what matters TO HIM. |

Times Square Church in NYC is one--a true light in a dark city. They minister to the homeless, the druggies, the outcasts. One of their most anointed pastors was ministered to as he lay homeless and strung out on a park bench. They preach the gospel. The love of God and the truth that we all are bound for hell without Jesus. They've NEVER been about a distorted gospel or money. They've consistently preached the FULL gospel of the Lord. The church is diverse, welcomes all and is alive in the Spirit. Their sermons are streamed live on the net. Six weeks before 9/11, they knew spiritually something was coming. In obedience to the Spirit's prompting, they canceled major conferences they'd had planned and held no services but continually prayed and interceded for NYC/USA. The did as the Lord told them to and I really believe that God used them to save lives. 60,000 people could've died. Maybe if there were more like-minded churches no attack would've happened. So, to answer your question, yes, there are SOME churches that are in it for the Lord and not themselves. Not many, but some. Last Edited by telling it straight on 11/19/2012 09:57 AM |

God wants us to treat our bodies as temples and it's our reasonable service to God spiritually to take care of ourselves. But the wealth gospel is for snakes by snakes. Jesus made it clear we can't serve both money and God. |

I worked in NYC for 6 months once, it must be hell in the winter time for the homeless. But mostly I lived in California. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 24924490 11/19/2012 06:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think that churches should lose their federal exemptions since they are now in bed with the Republican party. It is like free unlimited donations to the GOP. I also have no problem whatsoever in saying this, becase any church that gets involved in politics and Zionism does not truly follow Christ's message. |
