Creflo Dollar Says Jesus Spoke in Tongues

[Sam]

Something from a Creflo Dollar book.

I’ve only watched Creflo Dollar a couple of times on tv. Once I heard him do some great teaching about cutting a covenant. Last time I watched him I heard him going on about how wealthy Jesus was in material goods (large house, tailor made clothes, new –certainly not a “used” vehicle) and was really turned off. You know, the old “Prosperity Gospel” stuff. Maybe Dollar is a good name for him.

A couple years ago I bought a book by him called The Image of Righteousness. It has a copyright date of 2002. When I skimmed through some of it at the used book store it looked pretty good. It is about Christians having Christ’s righteousness and therefore not having to go about working to establish a righteousness of their own. This is a truth that is sorely overlooked by many Christians and causes a lot of problems for Christians who are struggling in “performance based” religions and churches.

Here is some stuff from pages 80-92 where he wrote about the creation of Adam as the god of this earth. I’ll just pass this on with no comment.

------------------
Each species of livestock, wild beasts and insects were created based on a pattern….

It was no different when God created man… We are created after God’s “kind,” which tells us that we are not mere human beings. Instead, we are super-human beings, possessing supernatural, creative power….

It’s important to understand that you are not second-class. You are an exact duplicate of the image of God. This does not mean that you are God. It means that you are made in God’s image and His likeness, with an ability to create with words as God did….

God took a reflection of Himself and placed it in a physical body formed out of the dust. Then He breathed His own life into it, named it Adam, and gave him authority over all physical things on the planet. God in heaven had made Adam god of the earth. Adam was crowned god of all physical things formed from the dust of the earth…

All of God’s handiwork was now placed in the authority of the god of the earth –Adam…

Notice again, God formed the physical bodies of the animals out of the ground just as He had Adam, but nowhere do we find God breathing life into them. They did not have life until Adam spoke words of life over them.

God was training a god in the earth. He had to teach him how to do what He does. This god would have authority over the animals. The reason he would have authority over the animals is that they would not live until he gave them life, just as God had given Adam life….

God formed Adam’s physical body out of the dust of the ground and called him into existence. He then showed Adam to do what He did, including how to use the power of his words. When Adam said, “Buffalo,” the buffalo came to life. He was breathing life into that which he had authority over through the spoken word.

God called it, and it was. Adam called it, and it was –just as if God Himself had called it. Adam had authority. He was god of this physical realm just as God was God of the spiritual realm. Adam was god of this planet and all the handiwork of God.
