re: Is "Prosperity Gospel" incompatible with the teachings of Christ?

quote:

So, did Christ say to lay up treasures on this earth? Far from it. He said that where your treasure is there will your heart be also. He said that it is easier for a camel to get through the of of the needle than a rich man to get into heaven, the eye of the needle being the lowly entrance into Jerusalem where the poor and humble entered I take it. And, more than anything, His life itself was not one that surrounded itself with extravagance but rather very humble and giving. Christ did not walk this earth in fine garments, or driving nice chariots, I don’t see Christ wearing fine jewelry, or a Rolex, or living in a mansion with his own private jet.

True. But Jesus was also an apocalyptic preacher who believed judgment day was near. That being the case, of course earthly possessions and family ties are unimportant.
I don’t know if the world would even function if everyone behaved like Francis of Assisi.
