I just find it odd that the riches guy in the church is the preacher. god said rich people would find it difficult to enter Heaven. Why get that close to that predicament to risk that. Sitting on this kind of income is shameful. I read where a village needed money to bring fresh water to their community and this would surely be a blessing for them. Rich people feel God wants them to be rich, I've heard this said. No one should support this type of behavior and candy coat it. Yes, he is giving a great message overall but, "Don't look at the man behind the curtain".
The only reason I defend "prosperity" is because it is solid,rock solid biblically. Now,are all to prosper? well, sort of. Bbecause to prosper is to increase.
What you are seeing with WOF (osteen) is ERROR BY EMPHASIS. They take a concept and way,way,overdo,and over emphasize.
What you see in this forum is called "throw out the baby w/the bath water"
BTW,what would stop the mega salaries,and help the poor,would be a rule such as "THE PASTOR IS NOT ALLOWED TO RECEIVE A SALARY LARGER THAN HIS POOREST MEMBER,NOR SHALL ANYONE BE DENIED MEMBERSHIP DUE TO LOW INCOME"
I think the millions they make is obscene and a shame to heaven.(but not nearly as bad as the flaws of the accusers,because they are holding hands with THE ACCUSER.)
