Outline of Prosperity Gospel SCAM

"And that while “the ‘health and wealth,’ ‘name it and claim it,’ ‘confess it and possess it’ TV preachers and their blessing-seeking, hap-hap-happy followers” are a constant source of amusement and incredulity — if not outright contempt.
The scam — for that’s what it is — works as follows:
  • God wants to bless you — with health and wealth
  • But He will not do so unless you first demonstrate your faith
  • You demonstrate your faith by ‘sowing’ a ‘seed-faith offering’ (yes, money).
  • You give this money to whomever told you about this scheme
  • God will than bless you — with a thirty, sixty, or even hundred-fold return
If this greed-based theology worked as advertised, televangelists would be sending you money." RNB


But Peter said unto him,
Thy money perish with thee,
because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
Acts 8:20
