I'm beginning to think some of the posters have been to the Dan Rather School of Sound Bites. The prosperity doctrine I and many others adhere to does not in anyway represent the misrepresentation characterized in this thread.
There are more scriptures which talk about finances than talk about health. Care to discuss the substances?
It is breathtaking something like man-made standards, which have NO scriptures to support is accepted much easier than scriptures dealing with finanncial success. I would rather deal with scriptural evidence than ancedotal evidence. There is more scripture supporting a prosperity doctrine than supporting a subjective dress code.
Prosperity comes from following established principles. The Bible has principles how to accumulate wealth. John said he wished the saints would prosper and be in good health, as they prospered and maintained a healthy spiritual life. Jesus promised blessings beyond imagination when he said give and it shall be given back to you to the point it would be running over.
God used the prophet to tell God's people to "test" God and see if God would pour out blessings they couldn't contain.
Proverbs is full of principles and when applied will lead to a prosperous life.

I am sick of hearing about money.
With all the messages being preached on sowing.
I am waiting for a saint to grab the video of a sermon.
Then sue the minister for malpractice.
