Prosperity Teachers and the Old Testament pt. 2



 In this video, I am continuing to answer the question "How do prosperity teachers use Old Testament texts to justify their teachings?" Deuteronomy 28 is a popular passage that many prosperity teachers use to show that obedience to God's Word merits financial and material prosperity. On the contrary, prosperity teachers believe that the curse spoken about in Deuteronomy is the curse of the law and is essentially poverty and that this curse comes through disobedience to God's word. What does the Bible say about this passage and how we should properly interpret it? Let me know your thoughts, comments, agreements, and disagreements.

I enjoyed this video. Ray one of the points that I think you made was spot on man. You said that only Christ can fulfill these commands. Israel here becomes and anti-type here of faithlessness and the faithfulness of Christ.
