3 Ways the Prosperity Gospel Harms Christians

preachers of the prosperity gospel

The prosperity gospel is a false teaching. It claims that if one has enough faith in God, you will be rewarded with material wealth. Unfortunately, this is not likely to happen for most Christians as it goes against the central tenets of Christianity.

However, the masses of Christians who follow this doctrine and financially support this movement aren’t as fortunate.
