My cheap jab at Joel Osteen in a previous post has led some commenters wondering why I’m taking shots at the Word of Faith movement and/or the “prosperity gospel.”
I admit that it was a bit naive and foolish to assume that readers of Evangel would even know why I was critical of those movement, much less agree with me. Because I think it’s important for the critiques and defenses to be given a fair hearing, I’ve decided to open a thread for the discussion of the question, “What exactly is wrong (or right) with the Prosperity Gospel?”
The comment section is now open to anyone who wants to argue one side or the other. Please keep it civil and respect the views of others (something, I admit, that I often fail to do).
