It sure is. God does not want His people to be poor. One must trust Him to have success in life ( emotional, spiritual and financial). The Bible says that God is not slack in giving.

I am not even going to go there, because I am tired of something has to be wrong with everybody, I learn and I get comfort from these people, and I will continue to love these people, I have heard a lot of the things and read a lot of the things, about them. People find fault with everything. And oh my God don't let one of these preachers make a mistake. Then they want to lable them as the devil. Who do theses people think they are perfect, they make mistakes too. I am just tired of people finding fault with everything, it makes me sick.
 
2 COR 8:9 nkjv
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

8:9 It is at this point that the Apostle Paul introduces one of the greatest verses in this grand letter. Against a background of the petty circumstances of life in Macedonia and in Corinth he paints a lovely portrait of the most generous Person who ever lived.
The word grace is used in a variety of ways in the NT, but here the meaning is unmistakably that of generosity. How generous was the Lord Jesus? He was so generous that He gave all He had for our sakes that we through His poverty might become eternally rich.

Moorehead comments:
He was rich in possessions, power, homage, fellowship, happiness. He became poor in station, circumstances, in His relations with men. We are urged to give a little money, clothing, food. He gave Himself.

This verse teaches the pre-existence of the Lord Jesus. When was He rich? Certainly not when He came into the world as the Babe of Bethlehem! And certainly not during His thirty-three years of wandering “as a homeless stranger in the world His hands had made.†He was rich in a bygone eternity, dwelling with the Father in the courts of heaven. But He became poor. This refers not only to Bethlehem but to Nazareth, Gethsemane, Gabbatha, and Golgotha. And it was all for our sakes, that we through His poverty might become rich in him, not money.
If this is true, and it certainly is, then it should be our greatest joy to give all that we are and have to Him. No argument could be more forceful than this in the midst of Paul’s discussion of Christian giving.

Its not any one thing that they have said, but in many cases decades of false teaching and the preaching of another Gospel. Like Jack I don't blame you for not wanting to debate or defend those guys because there is simply to much tape, video, written articles, quotes from them preaching thier heresy, Now in fairness, there are a few on your list that are OK as far as I can tell. Actually only one. John Hagge
He in the past has preached the false gospel of prosperity and replacement theology and praise God he repented of that, appologized and moved on. He came clean a few years ago after he got confronted by it. I have purchased and read two of his books and they are very good.
 
I enjoy watching Jack Van Impe, David Jeremiah and Adrian Rogers.
Hi Johnny... how could I forget David! :o I listen to his sork often. I watch Jack when I can't sleep at night. That is when he is on in the NYC area. I'm not a dispensationalist nor a pretribber, but I will take what he offers and see if it fits my End Times beliefs.

Thats a good subject or topic to start, and I think I will.
 
Ok, sounds good.
Can you please add a link here to the thread.
Thanks
 
Don't forget; we are to take the good with the bad and deal with it. We were given THE WAY to deal with it. God want us to prosper, but He wants us to prosper in ways that go far beyond material prosperity. We are also promised much trial and tribulation;

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
