Word of Faith? (Jesus Christ, ritual, gospel, soul, follower)

So do you think it is God's will that His servants walk around sick and poor?

I'm glad seminary hasn't completely warped your view.

In what way is it a departure from scripture?

If I respond to this we are going to be debating, if you wish to then ask a mod to move your thread into the same faith debates.

Godbless you anyways.

then you have not read the bible.


God used an incentive of wealth many times in the bilble.

agree that word of faith is an embarassment to Christianity, and there is no room for balance with that.

good question here.

if word of faith is such an " embarassment" how come other faiths such as catholic, baptist, and others show up on " word of faith" tv?

we must not be that much of an embarassment to be all up on our networks.

I don't think WoF is all wrong, but I think many WoF teachers take it too far. There are several WoF teachers that I very much enjoy and have learned much from, but I don't buy all their doctrine.
