How Prosperity Gospel Teaches an Unbiblical Utopian Doctrine with Evangelist Justin Peters
The prosperity gospel movement preys on two things that everyone wants: health and wealth. Evangelist Justin Peters has been warning Christians about the dangers of the Word of Faith movement following years of failed healing attempts over his cerebral palsy from faith teachers like Nora Lam. “Prosperity theology has its roots in metaphysical sciences,” says Justin, “and most of what you see on Christian television today is little more than a cultish philosophy wrapped up in Christian lingo.” Prosperity preachers like Steven Furtick, Paula White, and Kenneth Copeland appeal to the human desire for money and success and present an aberrant view of God, Christ, and the Atonement. TAKEAWAYS The prosperity gospel says that if you come to Jesus, you can have wealth and health, but that’s not the real gospel. On Earth, Christians are not promised prosperity but persecution (Matt. 10:22). Word of Faith preachers often teach the heresy that Jesus was a “good man” who “grew into” his godhood. When people sing music from Bethel or Hillsong, they are singing music that originated from a cult. 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Flee From (Steven) Furtick Video: https://bit.ly/3C3EnbH Do Not Hinder Them Book: https://amzn.to/3SLCjeu Clouds Without Water DVDs: https://amzn.to/3SPYxft Screen Smarts: https://bit.ly/SCREENSMARTS Paula White Article: https://bit.ly/3A5xrZg 🔗 CONNECT WITH JUSTIN PETERS Website: https://justinpeters.org/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/3wcLAm8 YouTube: https://bit.ly/3SL5IW1 Podcast: https://bit.ly/3dItmCM 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/theCCMshow 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2021 Recap & 2022 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCMDonate2021 Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
