The Gospel From---HELL
by Carl Giordano
**********************************************************************
"I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him
that called you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER GOSPEL:
Which is not another; but there be some that
trouble you, and would PERVERT THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach
any OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have preached unto
you, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man
preach ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have received, LET HIM
BE ACCURSED. "--Galatians 1: 6-9
"Moreover brethren, I declare unto you THE GOSPEL
WHICH I PREACHED UNTO YOU, which also ye have received, and wherein ye
stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory
what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which
I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures;
And that He was buried, and that He rose again
the third day according to the scriptures ".....
1st Corinthians 15:1-4
*********************************************************************
Actually, there are many
false gospels, or other gospels.
Gospels that come, not from
God, not from God's Holy Bible, but are, in
actuality, -- Gospels
from--HELL .
In this particular message, I will deal with only one
of these false, other
gospels.
I would call this particular
false gospel the---Money
Lovers Gospel.
see 1st Timothy 6:1-21
America is full, to overflowing, with FALSE prosperity
prophets. FALSE teachers and preachers
that have not the foggiest idea of what the Bible really
teaches concerning what exactly is, and is not, the TRUE GOSPEL OF
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Neither do they have the foggiest idea what
the Bible really teaches concerning MONEY .
Let me say, first of all, that MONEY certainly is not
evil---but the LOVE of money certainly IS
evil; in fact, the Holy Spirit, through the apostle Paul, calls the
LOVE of money ---"the
root of all evil ". 1st
Timothy 6:10
It is a more than an obvious fact, that most
of America's POPULAR TV preachers/teachers are nothing more, nor
less, than a bunch of---- MONEY LOVING WOLVES IN SHEEP'S
CLOTHING. I actually heard, with my very own
ears, one of these WOLVES
make the following statement-----
" The Gospel is the
Good News that God has given us all-- THE POWER TO GET
WEALTH ! ! ! "
Thousands, in the auditorium, stood and cheered and clapped for
this HERETIC as he made that
BLASPHEMOUS statement. And, this
unbelievable statement was not made by some obscure
teacher; but rather one of America's most
popular and RICHEST
prosperity teachers. And the saddest, sickest thing, about the whole
mess is that this FALSE GOSPEL
is no longer simply an American phenomenon; because these
FALSE TEACHERS have
spread this blasphemous
heresy from one end of the world to the other. The
church, WORLD WIDE, is now infected with this nonsense, as many in other
nations look to America for all the latest
in fad and fashion: and it seems that the
Church, world wide, looks to the American Church, and it's so called
"leaders", for exactly the same thing---The
latest in fad and fashion when it comes to
"Bible Teaching".
The apostle Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, put
it this way----
" For the time will come when they will
not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts
shall they heap to themselves teachers , having
itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the
truth, and shall be turned unto fables."
---2nd Timothy 4:3-4
(see also Hebrews 13:5-6,8)
Now, let me say that, YES,
Our Heavenly Father can, and often has, made
some of His people to enjoy
GREAT WEALTH .
There once was a Christian man, of the nineteenth
century, who went into the cheese business.
This cheese merchant, in his horse drawn delivery
wagon, would deliver his cheese, from house to house, and tried to sell
it on the streets: but, his cheese business was not going very well for
him. One day as he rode through the streets in his delivery wagon, and
had absolutely no demand for his cheese, he became very discouraged. He
pulled his horse drawn wagon to the side of the street and got out and
sat down dejectedly on the curb. As his mind was filled with the
negative circumstances of his cheese business, and the fact that he was
bankrupt, he contemplated throwing in the towel and just going
out of business.... But, just
then, he heard a soft, tender voice, say to him---"Your
only problem is that you did not make
The LORD JESUS the President of your cheese company."
Being very startled at the voice, and the words spoken, he
looked all around him to see who had said those words. There was nobody
there ! He was alone, and no human anywhere within earshot. He jumped
to his feet, and looking Heavenward the bankrupt cheese merchant
shouted---
" Lord Jesus, if you want this cheese business,
it's yours ! I hereby declare that YOU are now the President
of this business."
From that very moment, his cheese business did a miraculous turn
around, and instead of going out of business this cheese merchant became
a very wealthy and influential man. Oh...I forgot to mention his
name. This Christian cheese
merchant was none other than J.L. KRAFT---and
today, in the year 2004, the KRAFT CHEESE COMPANY is STILL the
largest cheese manufacturer--IN THE ENTIRE WORLD !
The same story could be told of John Wanamaker,
J.C. Penny, and multitudes of others, whose names
and businesses have become household words, as these
Christian business men followed the
leading of their Lord, Savior, and President of
the company.
But, let me hasten to add, that this type of thing,
GREAT PROSPERITY AND FINANCIAL
WEALTH, is something for God to bestow, at
His discretion, and then He fully expects that the one blessed, then
become a blessing in the advancement of The Kingdom of God and in the
helping and aid of the poor. Whenever God blesses anybody, in any way,
it is so that, that one then may become a blesser and a blessing in
return. ---Matthew 6:33 --- Luke 6:38
( I cannot, of course, cover all aspects
of this subject in this one short message; but let me also
WARN the reader that
SATAN himself, often pied-pipers the multitudes down the slippery
road to damnation by offering and delivering "FINANCIAL PROSPERITY" AND
"SUCCESS" as a means of distracting them from the
weightier matters of ETERNITY.)
On February 17th, 2002, I turned on "Christian TV" and heard one
of the popular "Faith & Prosperity Teachers " say the
following ( He was speaking to THOUSANDS that had gathered in a huge
auditorium to have their ears tickled ). He said----
" I'm a child of God ! I have a right to the good
life ! " ( then he led those
thousands, in that auditorium, as they all began to shout and chant) ---
" I want my GOOD LIFE, I want my MONEY ! ! ! "
( Then the crowd of THOUSANDS got
out of their seats and walked to the platform where they began
placing MONEY at the feet of this "PROSPERITY PREACHER". This is
the latest thing that these WOLVES have encouraged in
their meetings.....everybody gets out of their seat and lays MONEY at
the preachers feet....of course, the teaching is that one will be
'BLESSED' if one lays money at the feet of these
-----MULTI-MILLIONAIRE
preachers . )
In fact, these WOLVES, now
teach---- " If you want to get wealthy then you have to
give to a wealthy person...God won't bless you if you
give to the poor...if you want to get rich, then you have to give to the
rich".........( of course, the
implication is that the rich person you should give to, is the
present RICH WOLF
standing before them on the platform .)
Nothing could be further from the TRUTH
---The HOLY BIBLE teaches, almost on every page, that we are to
HELP THE POOR, BLESS THE POOR, TAKE CARE OF THE POOR,
( if ,and only if, the poor are not
poor as a result of their own slothfulness) . In fact, the
BIBLE teaches the
direct contrary of what is taught by the "PROSPERITY
PREACHERS". The BIBLE does
NOT say anywhere
within it's Holy pages that we will get rich,
if we give to the rich. In fact, GOD,
in His BIBLE,
promises that we will become
EXTREMELY POOR if we happen to be
stupid enough to give to the rich: and hard hearted
enough to have the audacity to enrich ourselves
at the expense of the poor. We read in
Proverbs 22 and verse 16----
"He that oppresseth the poor to increase his
riches" ( that would be your
modern day "prosperity preacher" ) "And
he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to
want ." ( that would be the
fools that gather by the thousands to have their ears tickled and
to
lay their hard earned money at the feet of
one of these slick talking RICH WOLVES
.)
This word "want", used here
in Proverbs 22:16,
King James version, actually means, in the original language,----
EXTREME POVERTY .
So, far from promising us RICHES,
God actually promises us --EXTREME POVERTY--
if we be foolish enough and Biblically
ignorant enough to support these WOLVES
in their folly.
In closing, let me reiterate that the GOSPEL,
THE GOOD NEWS, is
NOT that God has
promised us all LOTS OF MONEY .
This is The Gospel From--HELL
.
