The prosperity gospel grows because mankind is in need of those things unordered to survive and so rings true to worldly people, the fact that the majority of humanity in all time lives in a state of poverty. Yet they are poverty ridden because there is no knowledge of God . Therein lies the subtlety of antichristian teaching and its lure. Iff any system that offers such is coming down as John declares well then the catholic church should have long ago crumbled into ruin or perhaps God has an unknown purpose for it's continuation for it has existed since somewhere around the 300AD and has grown exponentially since worldwide. So maybe as much as I enjoy listening to men like John McArthur and others like Chuck Missler, reformed theologians do not have the answers anymore than any other man and God and His Word is not fully understood as the only true way to a heavenly end. Too many holes to put ones trust that they soley have the answers we many of us are seeking and praying for. Maranatha
