     | 2,059 views

    The preachers of the “health and wealth” teaching - the "prosperity doctrine", love this chapter in Malachi but they are totally wrong in the exegesis. They use this chapter to rake in money from people. False teachers lead people into a desire for greed and then scam money from them.

Balaam was a focus in Jude’s letter. The preachers who subscribe to the “health and wealth” teaching otherwise known ...read more
