THE GOSPEL OF THE ECONOMIC PROSPERITY

AND OTHER FALSE GOSPELS - THE ORIGIN OF THE TITHE BEFORE THE LAW AND ITS BLESSING

© Carlos Padilla, November 2006

… But if even we, or an angel of the sky, announces another different gospel to you del that we have announced to you, is anathema… Gálatas 1:8.

The Gospel is without a doubt the base of better and more important the good news than can be told the man, the base of the message of the salvation of the Mesías Son of God to the world, announcing the Kingdom of God which those will enter that creates in Their redeeming work in the Cross. And indeed, the Greek word “gospel�, as all know, means: the good news. Having this in mind and making reference to, or an Eternal Gospel, (according to version), mentioned in Apocalypse 14:6 (to see in the end in Biblical Texts) that is not the Gospel of the salvation, but that if it is part of the message of God to the man; we can include/understand that the antichrists can introduce many false gospels, or to say it otherwise, false the good news that the believer can receive in his life, and that they are not part of the message of the salvation of God to the man to enter Its eternal Kingdom.

With the intention of to denounce some of these false gospels, or false “the good news�, easily detectable ones, but subtler others and than to the being Word of God easily are used to replace to the true Gospel. I will set out a relation of some of these gospels that nowadays are being used by false teachers, that as a useless shepherds they are deceiving the town of God; normally a part of His town, that although is of God, it follows men before to God in His Word. Unfortunately it is necessary to exhort to the cristiandad in its lack of effort to fight the “good battle of the faith� and to remain in the sanctity, or to say it otherwise, to remain in the mind of Christ, 1Corintios 2:16, because many think that it is easier that they give the spiritual food them already cooked, that to ask it the Father, who to directly obtain it they themselves of God in its personal relation with Him, and leave always are old those that give the food them, who often leudado and is contaminated, I I would say sometimes that poisoned and that it brings about in so many cases the spiritual death of many believers, when they see that the structure of its church, or their leaders fail. Having not received instruction for the spiritual survival, and having taught to the dependancy of the leaders, once these can fail, do not know to them where to go, they do not know nor they know his Gentleman, or they think that they are not worthy to receive the love and the direct treatment of our Father: … Abba, Father… does not filter the food that receives and their own minds in the Spirit Santo, and dies, dry itself. The Word says to us nevertheless: … the same unction teaches all the things to you… they 1Juan 2:27.

The Gospel of the salvation must be exhibited of direct way to the heart of the man so that this it has been receiving the message that will change to its mind and its spirit in the call “metanoia - change of mind� meant of the word repentance, which if for of heart, gets to be permanent and eternal, beginning by a change of way of life by part del that regrets. This includes to teach to the Christians to have a solid relation with God in Christ by the Spirit of the Father and the Son, as a spiritual marriage, or like son of God. Besides the property to the body of Christ, who we entered all that we have believed in Him like rescuer. However, which the disciple does once has known Jesus Christ is what will determine that Christian class is and if remains in the salvation or will follow one enseñaza false of orders and impositions or traditions of men, who will make him fall of their faith once come the tests, necessary, to try and to fortify to which they are of Christ.

In order to begin to describe these false gospels I will make, it with the very present “gospel of the economic prosperity� that is making damage in the great evangelical churches, and of other branches, with preaching his tele that assure to their members that will be blessed economically and progressively due to donating their tithes and offerings to their institutions. Of certain the tithe it is of God, but God will also prove in this the believer, who must receive a message of acceptance of the will of God, because if its economic situation is not as buoyant as there were fiance' to him, she can get to feel defrauded by his preachers. The fault of this is not only of which they turn into center of his preaching anyone of the blessings that God can give us, instead of to present/display the person of Christ that presents/displays the kingdom to us of God as well, but of that look for another thing, before to God. Meanwhile many leaders of these great institutions are more and more rich and make Gallic of their wealth and are public scandal, equally that makes the Vatican with its opulence, and with the fraud that did during centuries with the sale of the indulgences, which was a diabolic business and antichrist. Brothers of system, I would say. The worse thing of all this, is not that these great institutions become rich with the tithe and the offerings of their members, but are basing its evangelísticas campaigns on a gospel of the prosperity: “it receives Christ and it pays the tithe and it will be blessed with all the blessings of this world�. Again we can argue to favor that Christ on the other hand taught: … you look for the kingdom of God firstly and their justice and these things will be added to you… but the same Gentleman also teaches to us: … the one that does not even detest also its own life cannot be my disciple… Lucas 14:26 and… cannot be served to God and the wealth… Mateo 6:24. The Gentleman being rich became poor and died by us.

That it happens to them to the Christians who have not prospered although they have paid the tithe? Their leaders condemn to them saying to them that they have not ofrendado sufficient, but than they do not realize is of which many Christians undergo persecution, indeed because are battling the good battle. What it is important to teach to the Christians, including the leaders, is that to God it is necessary to honor to him anyway, with blessings or persecutions and tests besides by its position of obedience. The orders are fulfilled by love to God, not by economic benefit or of another nature, because we will see that the list follows.

Another one of these false concealed gospels is the one from the property to a certain church or congregation, which their leaders sell like the unique one and true church, which once they have entered to comprise, nobody worries about them and they do not have true friendly in the faith. Later the leaders of many of these “unique churches, true congregations or sects� use the submission to the old calls, that also can fail. These believers who looked for the friendly club before Christ, must include/understand that the first man needs to find to the friend who never fails, that is Yahshua, and that those who in truth knows Him will try to him warmly brotherly, helping him at the difficult moments of his life, when he falls in his way of faith; friendly with which it can always count, whenever the first friendship that looks for is the one of Christ, soon to be able to recognize Christ in whom they are true brothers in the faith. One must belong to God in Christ, and with that or comprises of the true Church, of the body of Christ, it is in one or another congregation.

That they say to me, on the other hand of false gospels of the sanidades and the miracles, that are put in front to the salvation and which they seem obligatory, getting in some charismatic congregations within the catholicism and of the Protestantism and evangelism to invent false sanidades, because if there are no them not they feel true Christians. God is the one who heals, and yes, heals today in the same way that long ago, because is the same God, but God it does not look for by the sanidades and miracles to him but by He himself, without conditions. Therefore, a true gospeller is that one that promises the salvation by the faith in the redeeming work of Christ, and that prays by the health and miracles, but it must clarify that these depend on God; it must preach that the Gospel is the message of the salvation in the person of Christ, with or without physical health, with or without miracles. If it gives them to the Gentleman, glory to God, and if it does not give them, glory to God that is sovereign.

Also we can find other congregations in which is put in front what for them it is his good news or gospel, by live, and who impose and put in front to the true Gospel of the grace, and it is the gospel of the signals and prodigies, as the pentecostal doctrine to speak in languages obligatorily to verify that you have been born again and that you have been baptized by the Spirit Santo, and if you are not it, and although I gold in languages, do not believe that it is the unique signal of the baptism in the Spirit Santo nor necessary to again verify to have been born. In addition like signal also they are the dreams, and this it is a section that has caused many divisions in the church, because many of them never are fulfilled or have been exposed by false prophets; and like no, famous the false revelations, all these tools with which to cauterize the mind of the fickle indoctos and in the Way of the Faith in Christ, and all this makes the center of their preaching, make their gospel, leaving the Gospel to a side. Indeed there are signals and prodigies by hand of God, there are dreams by which God speaks to us and they are fulfilled, are revelations of understanding of God, but these are, once again, tools of the “rudimentos of the Faith�. It is not necessary to mention the prophecies that also are used as it bases and the Gospel forgets, like the kidnapping and others, besides the doctrines like the Trinidad, etc. Those that does not create in a particular interpretation of some prophecy, or some doctrine, although believe in the Gospel of the Salvation, in the coming of the Kingdom of God, in the deity of Jesus Christ and of the Spirit Santo, etc., they are not accepted in many congregations. Many of you you write indeed so that this is what you have experimented, and is looking for direction in the Way God, and asks how it can pass this in the church of God.

Finally we cannot forget last the great charismatic revelation the evangelism that is the gospel of the motivation, where their preachers in the style of psychological leaders, preach messages of personal motivation and other similarities to emotional intelligence, messages for the positive thought that as much it likes to the human mind. The light tap in the back that to all we like to receive. The problem comes when there is to say to him to multitudinal hearing that contributes thousands of dollars that without Christ are not saved, who by the religions of the world the man does not arrive at God, because Christ is “the Way, the Truth and the Life; nobody comes to the Father but by my� Juan 14:6. Therefore if we left the Gospel and its spiritual food like mere anecdote of our preaching, our message and we did not continue focusing to that the church must remember that is indeed this to which has called us God, to preach the Gospel of the salvation, we can fall in the error to turn into center of our announcement another gospel different that has been preached us by the apostles and the same Gentleman.

All this that I write, and my critic to different the false imposed gospels and by which many Christians are treated, is what many brothers and other experiment that I have seen or experimented personally, it is the experience who I have been compiling between all, after these years of preaching, to receive brothers worldwide, of all church and different experiences and baggages within the Christianity. As it teaches the Word well to us, these construct their churches on the sand of the rudimentos of the faith and not on the rock of the Gospel that is Christ and his salvation for the kingdom of God.

These are some of the false gospels that are being preached within the church, most difficult to identify, because they are part of the Word of God. But others, more easily recognizable exist outside the church by which we are of Christ, and that some that “was of us and that no longer are of us� preach once have been seduced by the “error of the iniquitous ones� announcing other different forms of salvation than God in Its Word says, the Bible, that the salvation is exclusively by the faith in the sacrifice of Its Son. Some of them announce salvation by good works; others announce salvation anyway because they say that the sin does not exist, lying; others say that by any religion the man is saved, to etc. False cristos and false prophets who the Bible announces with insistence and that the prophets of God take denouncing from the antiquity. Equally the world-wide ecumenicalism that we are being present at and the acceptance of everything what is a message without Jesus Christ and without denouncing what is sinned for God, is the waiting room of the world-wide religion that the antichrist is preparing, along with the current flood of lay governments, who foment all immorality and sin against God.

Finally to announce what the Bible says to us from the time of the four gospels, that will be false cristos that will preach a mixture of all these gospels, false ones, and other messages that are not the Gospel but that being part of the Word of God, have been turned into gospels concealed and more difficult to identify.

The man must understand that Christ he does not look for to him to benefit us in some thing that we want, need or so that he makes reality our projects, as if outside a genius of a lamp, just like they do those that go to the false Gods and idols, images and statues. The man who only looks for his, is the one that falls into the hands of that they look for souls with which to deal spiritually, to fatten its congregations, to put under and to cauterize his you bring back to consciousness and of those who to receive the tithe. Some leaders do not say the Truth so that their members do not leave, but those that are of God, leave “her town mine so that you are not contributor of its sins, nor you receive part of his platas� Apocalypse 18:4. The tithe is a precious blessing of the relation between God and the man, whom it does not have to give account to the others than it does with Him, more than to God, because the tithe is not original of the Law of God, but of the promise of Jacob to God as recognition and glorification by its protection and prosperity comings of the hand of the Highest one, Genesis 28:22, and that inherited spiritually of its grandfathers, the Father of the faith, Father of nations, Abraham who gave the tithe to Melquisedec, king of Salem, king of Peace, Jesus Christ. Genesis 14:21.

However, if the objective of my exhibition on false gospels is to obtain that the church understands and discerns the Gospel it differentiates and it than Pablo calls “the rudimentos of the faith�. It would not want to far from it set out a message of desacreditación of all the shepherds, because nowadays many brother shepherds blessed by the Gentleman, are using of anointed form many of these rudimentos to help and to maintain in the faith the town of God. Many brothers are fighting the good battle and contributing to much motivation of hope in the love and support of Christ in its lives, they are contributing health oration, they continue happening miracles every day, because God is the same always, are receiving with arms abiertos to many other brothers that have been despised in their congregations or rejected to think different about some doctrinal point, of which I have found many, and also of these, many they have been welcomed in those congregations that do not look for anything in return, more than the blessing of them, and give the glory to God, that is what all we have to do. This then of is what we must teach and what we must learn like Christians, in this respect.

Then perhaps it is not of God to motivate to the brothers in Christ, or it does not please to God that we prosper economically, and are not of blessing the miracles and the signals or to pray in languages, or the dreams received and understood and the prophecies? The Gentleman insists to us to… escudriñar Scriptures… … to escudriñar it everything, you retain the good thing… and we will find that the Gospel is Jesus Christ and his work.

For that reason my oration by them and my support, as well as I wait for its orations and their support for which they are true brothers, shepherds, and friendly in Christ, because the Kingdom of God is between us.

CONCLUSION

The gospel of the prosperity, like the gospel of the sanidades and the others, is the subtlest way to turn aside the attention of the center of the Gospel, Christ and his work by the man as far as the salvation and the beginning of the personal relation with Him to enter the Kingdom of God. The preachers of these false gospels turn into gospel the “rudimentos of the faith in Christ, Romans 6:1 y2� and those instruments that God uses in the church, the gifts, the sanidades, the blessings, the prophecies and so many other things when the Gospel is the one that is.

Pablo spoke of his gospel, Romans 2:16 and this does not mean that the one of Pablo is a gospel different from the one from the other apostles or from the one from the own Gentleman, as they are not it the one of Mateo of the one of Marks, Lucas or Juan. Our gospel, our good news, our good new one, must then be, the Gospel of the Salvation of Jesus Christ by of the Grace of God for the resurrection and the beginning of the personal relation with Him for the entrance in the Kingdom of Skies. What it enriches to us is to include/understand what is the combination of the good news that compose the true gospel, which are: The first good news, that the man being sinful is even loved by God; The second good news is that it can receive from God the gift of the faith in the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ to pay by our sin, regreting to us; The third good news is that we will be revived or transformed, according to is called on to us to live day in the last or no; And the fourth good news is that it invites us to Yahshua to the weddings of the Lamb to enter the eternal kingdom of God. All these good news compose the good news or Gospel of the reconciliation of the man with God by Their grace.

Also I have not mentioned the Eternal Gospel of Apocalypse 14:6 that is another part of the Gospel de God, either another different one, one but of the good news of God to the men. There is one of these news that are especially important for us and are the coming of the call Kingdom of the Skies, in which we will enter ourselves in another study of the Scriptures that I will present/display more ahead if it wants it to the Gentleman, I talk about the relevance of the message that Jesus mentions in gospels on the prophecy of which before the aim east Gospel of the Kingdom� to all the nations will be preached “, which although could seem another gospel, we will study in depth which means and will go accompanied of the meaning of the eternal Gospel. I would like to finish with the following Biblical Text that confirms all the previous one to us:

… 8El love never stops being; but the prophecies will finish, and stop the languages, and science will finish. 9Porque partly we know, and partly we prophesied; 10mas when the perfect thing comes, then what is partly will finish. 1Corintios 13. While the perfect thing comes you think about this: in which Gospel you have believed, or so that Gospel you stay alive and growing in the faith? You are preparations to live with God in Christ by its Spirit, sirviéndoos of the rudimentos of the faith instead of to make of these the center of your faith, your preaching and your gospel that is Jesus Christ? Is not the Gospel a message centric Christ? We live then by Him and for Him, to go with Him to Its Kingdom. To Him it is the glory by the centuries of the centuries. Amen.
