A different Jesus – Andrew Heard

Stamped: 11:14 pm

Below is an extract from Andrew Heard's article in the November Briefing: A diffeent Jesus. It's published in full on this website.

As commendable as this is (and in its best expressions it is very commendable), the foundation it is built on – false expectations of God’s promises for prosperity – make the entire package wrong. The prosperity gospel not only misuses the Bible, it seriously misrepresents Christ. This is why a number of leading Bible scholars and pastors, including John Stott, have declared it to be a ‘different gospel’ – not because it denies fundamental biblical teachings but because it adds false and misleading doctrines to them.

I love the way that Andrew writes - I think he writes with humility and clear articulation. What do you think of the article?
