The Need to Address Alternative and New Religious Movements

In order to address the prosperity gospel for what it truly is to give a clear definition of what it truly means. First, the overarching theme of the Prosperity message, "God's Will Is Prosperity" written by Kenneth & Gloria Copeland. Secondly, the defense of the prosperity gospel are that of 3 John 2, Matthew 6:33 and John 10:10 by which many of its proponents have in fact arbitrary misinterpret the plain meaning of the context of scripture to fit within the culture context of the prosperity-faith message (2 Pet. 3:16, 17).  In order to give a clear definition of the prosperity is that God wants to bless the Faith Christian in all areas of a person's life in one's own finances, health, spiritual, and business ventures. Therefore there is no where in the text of scripture (i.e. 3 John 2) that gives indication of any sort, but John letter to Gaius was that he wishes his recipient that everything will go well with him even as his soul is getting along well.  M
