I agree that money is essential to everyone
daily life in this modern society
but if we really want to know about how to
earn more money, do one still need to go
to church to learn how to earn more while
u can learn it from books , other seminars
and so on?
bible's teaching context mainly on how to reap more
monie?
The christian world success with materialism will be her decline too if she does not wake up that men don't live by bread alone...my wish is to see PRC to head the next christian reformation and a new america !
They believe in prosperity theory.
As someone ever said, you no give money to God that is why you no bless by God. Wahahahahha!
Money money money
money makes the world round

They can preach about money but it does not mean that they have the biblical principles about money correct...
we should just ban the use of money in future... just barter trade women can already

wow, u like barbaric world?
have you guys thought of going backward, like the guys will be working in the field and the ladies will be sewing at home. everything will be self sufficient, there is no need of money. no stress from work, no office politics and so on............................
which type of lifestyle will you choose, the one above or our current lifestyle ?
How backwards are you talking about... no money? that would be the time when barter trade in the picture nia.
The church is on the receiving end, why wouldn't they preach about money?

There is more to church and Christianity than about collecting money.

They would, in various degrees
NO MONEY NO BLESSINGS LAH!
JUST LIKE NO MONEY NO HONEY
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh my Little sister, don't she'd no tears
No woman, no cry
I can only sincerely hope that all of you will meet more Christians or encounter more churches that don't conform to the stereotype that many of you know.
why not preach about money ?
even the popes are interested in nothing else.............
Quite alot of charity organizations are set up by churches. I believe that those church funds does help the halfway house inmates who need that helping hand in the weakest part of their lives. I also believe that no ones want to believe in a God which will make them broke & sick for them to understand some lessons in life. I don't understand what sort of blessings it is to be broke.
I believe that prosperity preaching is wrong.
simple verses explain why:
Matthew:6 - 24
24"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Matthew 6 - 33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Now our main focus in a christian life cannot be money. Because God created us and loves us, not money.
God never promised us success in life in the bible. But in order to gain some sort of 'desires' we have to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness. To believe in him and worship him and grow closer to him in a personal relationship. Now, if our aim of serving God is to gain money, that is also wrong, because that means we have the wrong purpose. because the one and only true purpose why we serve him is because we love him.
agree ... as with any religious fundamentalism ... or monotheists...we ought to respect all forms of cultures and their Gods...
we should not fight others on the grounds that their Gods do not exist and ours exist...
that sow the very seed of more wars and vengeance...there should not be a Christian world or there should exclusively be Islamic or Buddhism or any other religions with minority followers...
a variety of religious experiences add scope and made our world more adaptable and meaningful...
no religion should preach exclusively their own God...that would save us more wars and greater prosperity
err, are we talking about religious exclusivity or prosperity teachings??
all in one..hehe...
anyway...i take leave...
preaching for money is obviously not right...but unfortunately it is so subjected and influenced by times of our materialistic world....every institution has its operational costs despite its subsidies perhaps...thinking by getting more sponsors and money could spread its teachings wider....
"repairing the house of God" becomes a house built based on so much on materialistic attachments than spiritual developments
