Why do these mega churches teach on financial stewardship and other false preaching?

Im watching church on television and i have been hearing about these pastors that are only talking about how to make money and how to get in the kingdom of heaven if they give sufficient amount of money which is called the '; Prosperity gospel';.There are innocent people who are learning this and think that the only way to get into heaven is if you tithe into the church and to give to the pastor so they can have a mansion and a jet to fly to other churches to preach.





I attend a non-denominational church and when I give my money, I know where my tithes and offerings are going because our pastor shows us where it is going to and does not hide it like Creflo Dollar and these other pastors! But what can I do to try to stop these big mega churches to stop using these innocent people for their money???





Watch this video and you'll see what i mean!

I agree with you.





It is really sad that churches get massive buildings with state-of-the-art equipment. Have big fancy suits, clothes, jewelry, cars, mansions, etc.





Yet there are homeless people everywhere, starving children, people that will die tomorrow if they don't get a pill that costs $2, etc.





Not that I have anything against any particular church or pastor. But in general I feel like they aren't being good stewards with the money they are being given. Many are just taking very large salaries, and living a life of extreme luxury.





I don't think there is anything wrong with having money, or even being somewhat wealthy. But I think it is totally wrong convincing people that ';everything will be okay...just keep tithing.'; That isn't the way it works at all.





God never promises wealth if you tithe to your preacher. He never promises an easy or stress free life if you believe in Him either. You must work hard to manage your finances properly, and you will have struggles and hardships whether you follow God's word or not.





Great question though!Why do these mega churches teach on financial stewardship and other false preaching?
Because they are stealing your money....oh, I mean you are giving it to them willingly.





There really is nothing that you can do to stop it. Just dont support them and tell others to do the same.
because they are businesses - tax exempt too$$$
I am paraphrasing from the bible but it says ';you cannot serve both God and money for you will love one and hate the other';. Our medical community that was initially set up to genuinely help people has become big business. Our legislative community that was designed to bring balance and justice is now controlled by deep pocket lobbyists. The number one cause of death in America is ADR (adverse drug reaction) perpetrated by the pharmaceutical companies and their zealous quest for more and more money at the cost of American's lives. Greed has stained every corner of our society and nobody cries out until it affects them personally. I have been affected by all of this. We need to get at the root of the problem and realize our capitalist dream is severely off balance. Money has become our God and we have all lost a large part of our souls in exchange for the all mighty dollar. We all get mad at these charlatans posing as ambassadors of God. We don't trust our government. Everyone is screaming about doctor bills and health care reform. We complain about the cost of our medications and Big Pharma greed. We need to look at our contribution to the problems with our faulty mindsets and character defects. We all have a spiritual side and we need to start pursuing more spiritual goals instead of monetary goals. I know you want to stop these mega-churches and their false doctrines. There is a saying that says ';satan always overplays his hand';. People are becoming more aware of the sin of these churches and I am confident they will die out because of this awareness. More people are becoming disgusted with the ';prosperity gospel'; and are seeking a more spiritual approach to life.
At the outset , I would like to appreciate your URL id for OBAMA which is really is superb and awesome . Congrats and let Almighty come to our rescue and Obama wins. Its my prayer too.





Now about your question - U see, the area of work is framed for everybody and who so ever feel fit to do the work in the area where they work - they will always feels that they are right . It is their perception .


Where as your thinking is different than them. Every individuals have the different thinking power and their area of work is also predetermined according to their destiny .





Why to look and bother about the thoughts being menifested and not acceptatble to us . Try to avoid it . Do not look at it or ignore grossly as if you have not seen it to avoid pollution of thoughts. The way air and atmosphere with dust and smoke gets polluted - the things which we do not like pollute our mind.





So we should ignore them - Let the world do the things they feel fit and let us do the things what we feel best .
