Government is going after them because the Church will do nothing to police its own. Word Faith prosperity teachers should be shunned as heretics. Any TV network and Radio network who airs their programs should be dealt with severely by the denominations. Those ordained ministers who help support networks that broadcast Word Faith heretical teaching should be subject to being defrocked.
Having said that, the prosperity message is popular because many Christians are greedy for material gain. It really reflects the state of Christianity in America.
Feds Need to Cage Every Crooked Evangelist Going – J. Grant Swank Jr. – Mar 14, 08
Jesus would never sanction what today’s evangelists—especially those on TV—are saying and doing. The ones who are crooked should be fined, jailed, whatever it takes to break their selfish spirits so that they can find their souls in Jesus.These televangelists in particular who are preaching that we can be wealthy by sending them our money, we can be healed of every disease because healing is in the atonement, and going after whatever hangs their chandeliers need to be strung up.
These are Publicans and sinners of the most blatant worldly wickedness. They are evil. They are not of Jesus, obviously not when reading Jesus’ teaching in the Gospels. Take His lifestyle and put it up alongside today’s evangelist frauds.
