[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3948626, member: 63706"] You're mixing up parables, and seem to be ignoring that I already acknowledged several times that being wealthy in and of itself is not wrong or sinful. Joel Osteen openly preaches the prosperity gospel, and the prosperity gospel does not line up with the teachings of Jesus. He tells his followers that God will make them rich and famous if they just pray for it, but proverbs says better the poor who's walk is blameless than the rich whose ways are perverse. Jesus commands us to watch out for false prophets, and you can tell them by their teaching. It's not about judging another person, but anyone can claim to be a christian, and we are just to follow them because of that claim? No, we are to seek Him, and when we do we will know who teaches lies and will not be lead astray. [/QUOTE]
