Paula White Cain preaches that failing to honor the first fruits principle results in consequences.

But in reality, the way Paula preaches it, the first fruits thing is a threat. She said, quote, when you honor this principle, it provides the foundation and structure for God's blessings and promises in your life.

When you don't honor it, whether through ignorance or direct disobedience, there are consequences. Yeah. There are consequences.

Prosperity gospel figures like Paula White Cain and Jim Baker destroy people's lives more than Alex Jones does.

His esotericism is ridiculous on its face, and he doesn't really use that kind of ridiculous bullshit to sell.

You didn't actually, somewhere deep inside your heart, you weren't doing the right things. You didn't love God enough. You didn't follow. You didn't obey enough. That sort of thing. And so any preacher can just, any preacher like these people can just slip around that sort of thing. It's like, yeah, there's a built-in excuse to blame the person who's the victim of the con.
