Oddly enough, I personally think "prosperity gospel" is almost the antithesis of Christian doctrine as given by the scriptures. I know some Christian articles even go so far to describe it as "heretical".

Others don't go quite that far, but they let their opinion on the philosophy be known pretty clearly. (Take this answer from Billy Graham, who represents sort of the "old school" of American televangelism in many ways: https://billygraham.org/answer/does-god-really-want-everyone...)



"In fact, the only disciple who really cared about money was Judas, whose greed and unbelief caused him to betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver."

Going to file that one away next time I hear someone advocating a prosperity gospel.
