Bible Question (short): Prosperity and Deut. 28? |
Question (full): Greetings Kimberly! I noticed that you mentioned Deut. 28 in your post. Let me ask you a couple of questions. 1) To whom was Moses speaking in this chapter? 2) What were the conditions for prosperity? 3) Does it apply to us today? As you ponder these questions, let me make a couple of points clear. a) I firmly believe that God can and does bless. However, He is under no obligation to do so. b) There is nothing wrong with giving to ministries who are leading people to Christ. There is everything wrong with giving to "ministires" who are simply trying to build theme parks and big houses. c) Much of the Seed/Harvest and Word of Faith teaching is simply not Biblical. It takes passages out of context. With this in mind, my only concern in this post is that Deut. 28 has been taken out of context and misapplied. If you wish to respond to my questions, I would be happy to discuss my reasons for saying this with you. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
