He started out like all others seeking to do Gods will and preach what ""HE"" thought was correct , but as most all others they have gotten into this ,GAIN faith , were they believe everyone is to be Rich with worldly gain and in all actaulity it is against what Jesus taught......Sure God blesses us and HE does supply our every NEED....and thats correct , but NO WHERE in the bible does it teach we are to gain worldly fame , riches and treasures here. In Fact it teaches we are to ""Store your treasures in heaven that where your treasure IS there will be your heart also ""
Dont take me wrong , nothing wrong with having money , but useing it for self gain isnt what the bible says to do...it also teaches us as did the apostles to take"" no thought of tomarrow , what you shall put on , what you shall eat , what you shall have , for our Father which is in heaven knows what we have need of ...And Jesus WARNED"" that they would make merchandise of you and that they would call Gain Godliness"" this prosperuty message , has cost people millions of dollars and has contributed to millions turning from God through pride and greed . Case in point...they say send them ( the preacher so much money ) and then God will give you so much money in return , and the bible says the oppisite...it says ""GIVE and expect NOTHING in return"
Only ones getting rich are the preachers and thier families and those associated with them.....the people who are giving and then get nothing back , are then turning from God and cursing His Word cause of these so called preachers that preach that message..........It has caused alot of people hard feelings and turning against the word , cause they think its GOD when in FACT it is NOT ,..ITS MAN NOT GOD !!!!
and Creflo Dollar is another one that does just that...and problem is they actually believe what they are doing is Right , when in fact its not , they are being decieved and are decieving others with it . And if you will notice all of the prosperity teachers and preachers , have came out of the College and or affiliated with the ORU ..organization....and thats Oral Roberts University............Dollar , Copeland , Hicky , Benny Hinn, Jesse Duplantis,Steve Munsey, and others the like have all been affiliated and or associated in one aspect or another of the same.....and even John Hagee is on the board of regents to that University........so it is a growing and popular message , but even tho they preach many good things from the Word , yet through this message many have pulled away and are being descouraged cause all they see are those preachers getting Richer , and them still just getting by...........YES God is a rewarder of His People , but Gods Riches are not of this World , tho He owns it all.........But our Greatest Treasure should be Christ , who says in His Word : Behold i come quickley and MY REWARD is with me "" and in another place it says " HE IS our exceedingly GREAT REWARD "
He will supply our Need, and HE HAS NEVER FAILED me , nor the supply has never ran out.............ALL it takes is FAITH IN GOD............
He is GOD , not man nor his dollar............

I have a real problem with televangelists. They tell you how wonderful the word of God is, then ask for money. It's sick. And am I the only one who sees the irony in this guy's last name?
I don't think that I feel this way simply because I'm an athiest. I would like to think that if I was a Christian I would also see this slimy evangelical used car salesman for the self serving charlatan he is.
Sorry... these people really get me going.. :)

I like Creflo Dollar, he has great understanding of the written Word and has demonstrated seed time and harvest time in his ministry by removing the "blessing blockers". I am partners with brother Dollar's spiritual father and mother Kenneth and Gloria Copeland and matured in my christian walk with their help. My attitude has really changed over the years and as my faith grows I learn God's way of doing things.

I have watched Him a few times but not enough to give a firm opinion. But I got the idea that He was a little to much into preaching how following God would help you to be successful in life. Which it may. But I felt he overemphasized that point.

The worst kind of thief! At least the thief that comes to rob your house in the night has the expected intentions.
Their are many honorable Christians but he is nether honorable nor Christian.

Did you know this?
Dollar's enumeration of "Believer's Rights" [10] also states that all true believers of God have the same miraculous abilities as Jesus himself, including the power to overcome infertility and to raise the dead.
I didnt. Scary stuff...here is the wiki if youre interested.

I feel like he concentrates on parts of Scripture that are secondary. I also think that he leads a lot of people astray because of that, and therefore people end up believing that Christianity is about getting everything that you want.
