Beloved, Prosper And Be Healthy

|
| I have a Bible test. | |
| I really do. | |
| For every Bible. | |
| And it's a multiple test, but the main, the first one, I go over here. | |
| Do you want to go with me? | |
| You have a Bible there? | |
| Take one of these. | |
| Take one of my Bible. | |
| Boy, I love this one here. | |
| This is one of my favorites. | |
| It's beautiful. | |
| You sent me the large print Bible. | |
| I love this large print. | |
| I guess I'm getting older. | |
| Does anybody have King James Bible? | |
| I have a parallel right here. | |
| Go to 3rd John. | |
| Okay, if you have a Bible. | |
| The 3rd epistle of John. | |
| Read verse 2. | |
| Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. | |
| That's wrong. | |
| First of all, most of those words aren't even in the original translation. | |
| If you'll study it, you'll see this. | |
| Above your soul salvation, more bad doctrine has been built on that one verse than probably any other verse. | |
| The whole prosperity teaching almost comes above all, above all, it says, above all things that thou may prosper. | |
| Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers. | |
| Okay. | |
| So above all, you mean God wants you to love money? | |
| They call prosperity money. | |
| So above all, God wants you to prosper more than he wants you to love him? | |
| That's not what the Bible says. | |
| You need the whole Bible. | |
| Above all, God says what? | |
| You're to love God, and then you're to love your neighbor as yourself. | |
| That's the second one. | |
| So I studied this word by word by word. | |
| And many of these words, they're not in the Greek. | |
| They're not in the original translation as well. | |
| This was just one place where they really messed up in the translation. | |
| And so I go to your new Bible, this amazing modern English version. | |
| Yes. | |
| And I read my test verse, okay? | |
| Could I read this now? | |
| Please. | |
| This is 3rd John, the third epistle of John, because there's only one chapter of it. | |
| Beloved, that was right, okay. | |
| Right. | |
| I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, even as your soul is well. | |
| The Greeks basically says, just pray that you'll have a good journey through life, even as your soul has a good journey to heaven. | |
|
Well Gospel
00:00:23
|
|
| This straightens. | |
| Listen, I raise more money off this, the other way, the scripture, above all, God wants you to prosper. | |
| And I had to not use it anymore because it's wrong. | |
| So instead of the prosperity gospel, we should call it the well gospel. | |
| That's well. | |
