I heard one televangelist actually say that Jesus and the disciples wore designer suits? Is this the same Jesus who said Foxes have holes, birds of the air have nests but the son of man has nowehere to lay his head? I do missionary work in Kenya, the churches we work with are really poor. In the UK the poverty here can't be compared, these are men and women who love God, they work and everything they earn they use for the work of God yet they remain poor.. if you follow the teaching of the prosperity teachers they must be sinning. Poverty is not comfortable but neither is persectution. Jesus and the disciples were all persecuted and in many nations christians face similar persecution... do they go through it because they sin? poverty can be a result of sin and persecution can be a result of sin but to make a statement that poverty is a sin is not biblically sound and demonstrates that the people who believe this do not know their word or their GodGandynoreply@blogger.com
