Re: TBN Numerology
My problem with the whole prosperity message is that it only appeals to those who don't have anything. How embarrassing to have the affluent listening to a church and hearing "us" talk about what they have already attained as if that is all we have to offer. What does the extremely weathy person who has the houses and cars but is absolutely dead on the inside, do? What do they do when there is something telling them that there has to be more out there than what this preacher is selling to all the broke people? They turn to Scientology and Kabala and anything else that seems to be offering something more.

Exactly. Jesus came for the matters of the heart...to a lost and sin sick world to redeem them. The rich need to understand as much as anyone that they are lost sinners and neec Christ

Re: TBN Numerology
At our church we stress that you should pray as if everything depends on God, but work as if everything depends on you. There are just some things in life that you work for and some things that you pray for. A fulfilled life is one that has plenty of both.

Don't know how true it is, but a high profile evangelist announced on radio that TBN had 500 Million in the bank.

If you have ever watched and listened you know what I mean. "2007 is your year of harvest if you so an uncommon seed because 7 is God's number of completeness"
I am confronted over and over again a gospel message based on some special nuance of the number in a year or month or even an amount to be given and promises based on that. Or claiming God told this preacher to tell everyone to give 29,290 or 2,900 dollars based on a reading of Psalms 2:9 or something like that. |
2007 has no bearing on anything because the calendar is off. Jesus was born about 6 B.C., making 2,007 years after his birth to be 2001. Already gone by!

Right, but the point is how they use numbers to declare this is you season to be blessed...as if it depends on numbers
