AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Timothy 6:17 ¶ As for the rich in this present world, instruct them not to be conceited and arrogant, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. |
Bible Question: How is it that God is against money and prosperity when He has commanded us to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature? How can we say that prosperity is heretical when God's Ambassadors are suffering financial hardship needlessly? Do we criticize those televangelists for "impure motives" yet the average american family has 2 or 3 cars a tv in every room and more appliances than they know what to do with? What do you think? What's worse, to preach that God desires to bless His children financially or to hypocritically spend more money on self than the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ? |
Bible Answer: well, that verse says not to fix our hopes on the money. it does not say that we shouldn't have it |
