What are the prosperity gospel's thoughts on Job, Jeremiah, and the Apostle Paul

[Lavaduder]

According to them they say that Prosperity & Health means you are in correct with God. I am curious as to what they think of Job, patience in suffering. Jeremiah the weeping prophet, and Paul who changed his ways only to receive beatings and percicution.

Which denomination are we talking about here? It's the "Denomination Specific Theology" forum.

To be honest I wasn't sure where to put this. Wasn't sure If this was something for GT.

I can appreciate that; it is sometimes hard to tell which is which.

But it also poses a problem for us readers, not knowing if some particular denomination or denominations were in mind when you were writing the OP. And if that was not the case, are there some that you could identify now as being leading examples??

I was thinking the charismatic movement. But after thinking about it... That's not a denomination. (It feels like it though.) Do you have the power to move this to GT, or can I repost it there?

I cannot do that, but my guess is that you can leave it here and hope for the right audience if you choose. However, I have also seen other people post duplicates.

Sorry prosperity Gospels thoughts? There is no such thing as prosperity gospel. Those words are used to make them look negative. Now if your talking about word of faith.. why not quote them? They even said there is no such thing as prosperity gospel. So why keep saying this knowing they don't agree with it nor like it. Why are some forcing this on them?

All you will get is verses from the word of God so why not search on prosperity in Gods word ourselves? It is in the word of God. Some believe some do not.

Only prosperity gospel I know of is some con artists on TV who tell people to tithe and God will reward them several times over. Those aren't actual Christians.

I will add my own anecdote. I spent two months teaching in a illegal house church-sponsored Bible school held in an apartment in China. There were nine students, counting my translator, who also served as the assistant teacher when the regular teacher was there.

In China there is keen interest in American Christianity and many Chinese Christians align with Contemporary Christianity in America in its various forms. My assistant, as it turned out, was an enormous fan of Benny Hinn. Knowing her interest, I tried not to offend her. One of the other students had attended a theological seminary in Malaysia and was well-grounded in scripture. There were several occasions during the classes where they engaged in heated discussions, all in Chinese, of course. Another student would translate for me. The net result was that the students were exposed to both sides of these arguments, including "prosperity gospel", and were able to form their own opinions. I was personally please to have the student put the case for scriptural objections to these claims, in clear and understandable Chinese.
