Prosperity Glosspel!

to me “prosperity gospel” is a reflection of the failed protestant experiment to organize a society based on the word of prophecy, instead of on the rock of the church. the mainline denominations, who wrongfully divided the word from the apostles, and have undercut their own authority by the false-modest confession of sola scriptura, which puts the church at odds with the very text it claims to preach.

punting leadership to a blind collection of ancient literature, the devil has clearly intercepted the political power play, and is dancing in the end-zone of “mo’ money — mo’ money” doctrine! as it stands to reason, that a church whose authority derives from the word, has forsaken its ability to authoritatively interpret it, which is fine until you meet another living human who may not see things your way! at which point, the church crumbles into as many denominations as there are bibles in print! as each individual becomes their own free agent church, which (again!) is fine until you get to the part about the role of the church in the world, which the protestants hope will crumble faster!

OR…

we could unite with counter-reformed rome, and any grievances we have with the apostolic church, could be easily dealt with through the magesterium, assuming there are any, since the protestants define themselves in terms of what they are against, not what they are for! and the catholic church is, ironically, is more permissive in its doctrine than any protestant church i’ve ever visited!

they even let you gamble! which would be a huge benefit to the island i currently reside on! and especially with the real possibility of a free cuba before the next decade is out.

however, while “prosperity” may be over emphasized, i certainly would not disagree with the tenets of this movement, that god died in the flesh to resurrect yours unto heavenly glory, and that this reward is attainable before the resurrection.

this does not negate the role of suffering and sacrifice in the world, on the contrary, it makes all the sacrifices we make for one another all the more valuable! and indeed the worthiness of our lord’s sacrifice can be measured not only from the standpoint of his moral righteousness, but also in the weight of his flesh and blood upon the cross of his 11-hour passion. and while the death of one man is not the moral equivalent to a million lifetimes of erotic fulfillment, but by the grace of god in christ are we morally obligated to indulge every ounce of human pleasure and earthly wealth in his name and for lost time!

it is what he died for, it is what we are resurrected and called to. sex. and the more we have it, the greater his sacrifice!

now i tell you a mystery: the more sex you have, and your children have, and theirs… the less “conscious” hours christ spends on the cross.

now it tell you a second mystery: the more wealth and comforts you enjoy, the more angels god has to minister to christ in the garden of gethsemane. because there are a finite number of angels, and they would liberated from attending to your comforts.

now i tell you a third secret: the more gay sex or masturbation you engage in, and the more fetuses you abort, or poor people you impoverish… the more torment you place on the head of christ. in other words, you really can make god cry!
