Continuing the discussion from Trump's Prosperity Gospel backers say Jesus makes you rich, cures Ebola, resurrects dead chickens:

So what is the Prosperity Gospel’s view on Acts 4:32-37?

They would most likely tell you that those verses are a perfect example of what they’re advocating: that you should sell everything you own and give the money to the leaders of the church (them) so that they can redistribute it as they see fit.

But don’t worry, you will lack for nothing.

Really. Says so right here on the label.

See, that’s how the Prosperity Gospel works. You give them all your money, and the result is prosperity.

(For someone, anyway.)

I prefer the Diggers and Leo Tolstoy’s take on it to be honest. But what do I know, I’m just an Church of England atheist
