SW said "Can you point to anyone in the Reformed Christian community who was ever condoning the prosperity gospel? They’ve been speaking out against it for decades."
Any speaking out that anyone has done is too little too late. BTW, I goggled " Reformed Christian community " I can't find it anywhere. I'm not saying you are lying about it's existence, I'm saying I can't find it. Though I am not looking for a wrath of shit, could point me to a simple doctrinal statement and perhaps an article about this movement. I could not find it on Wikipedia.
SW said "This is all purely anecdotal evidence, sounds to me like you just need to hang out with better Christians."
So all I have to do is hang out with better Christians and everything will be hunkey dorey? Just hang out with the Reformed Christian Community people and I can speak out all I want to with no fear of abuse. Even If I went to that church I would not want to (or be able to) isolate myself to just those in the church. Just hanging out with better Christians is not a viable solution.
Sw said "Methodists are not Reformed Christians, so I don’t really care what they do or don’t do, it has no bearing on my beliefs. "
I said this to support anecdotally how a fairly liberal church from a fairly liberal denomination can slip into the prosperity doctrine.
On another note: I quoted SW's statements in the manner that I did because I haven't figured out how to use all the functions on this forum yet.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
