Hehe, You Need To Read This! Professor Aslan Took Aim At Bishop T.D. Jakes, Saying He’s Twisting Jesus!

Many of you don't know the popular religious scholar, Reza Aslan, but the Professor of University of California at Riverside needs no introduction when it comes to preaching the word. He is an internationally acclaimed writer and scholar of religions and he is the author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth.


Well, it happens that while speaking at the 2014 Indian Summer Festival in Vancouver, Professor Aslan took aim at prosperity gospel and anyone associated with it.said the portrayals of Jesus in movies are mostly “fictionalized” representations.

Professor Aslan then blasted prosperity preachers, pointing to Joel Osteen and Bishop T.D. Jakes, as two of the worst offenders.


This one is a serious issue and no be for my mouth you go hear am so please kindly read his statement after the cut...
“The fastest growing Protestant movement in North America is this movement that is referred to as the prosperity gospel,” he said. “This is the gospel preached by people like Joel Osteen and T.D. Jakes — and when I say people, I mean charlatans. The argument of the prosperity gospel, if I can put it flippantly, is that Jesus wants you to drive a Bentley. That is basically what the argument is. That what Jesus wants for you is material prosperity, and that if you literally give, you will literally be given tenfold. That’s not a metaphor, as it is in most churches. It is literal. You give me $10 and Jesus will give you $100.”

I rest my case!!!

I'm sure it's not only Bishop Jakes that preaches prosperity so he should just park well.
