I wrote this as a thread opener in another forum, but I thought it would be appropiate here:
Ok. I was flipping through the channels and stopped at Daystar and watched a little of CYM.
Creflo Dollar spoke out of Genesis 13. And he expalined tha Abraham had the blessing on him from God and that is why he was "rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold" (vs 2).
So far so good.
And then he explained that Lot went with Abraham, also, as clearly stated in vs 1. But that Lot because he was associating with Abraham, also got the blessing through Abraham, for it says that Lot had flocks, herds, and tents (vs 5). See, Abraham got the blessing from God and Lot got the blessing from Abraham, simply because he associated with Abraham, so preaches Creflo Dollar.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
So then, Mr. Dollar pronounced to church that because they are members of his church, they will recieve a blessing through Creflo Dollar, to which there was a roar of jubilation amongst his congregation, hoopering and hollering in praise for the blessing they were about to receive. And then Creflo started speaking blessing upon all his members and, of course, the crowd went wild.
Is this right in your eyes? Is Creflo Dollar such a patriarch of God, in the same vein as Abraham, that his members can actually receive material riches just by associating with him?
