    • God provides rewards (jutalom), including personal happiness, financial

    and physical health, for believers who have sufficient faith.

    •  Prosperity (jóléti)  theology  developed in America and has been called a

    “baptized form of capitalism.”

    • The preachers associated with the movement — including, Joel Osteen, and

    Creflo ollar — have some of the largest congregations (gyülekezetek ! and best"selling boo#s in the countr$, and the$ host some of the most"watched

    television programs around the world!.

    • Critics tend to rec#on it as %a perversion of Christianity”. As per 

    a TIME  cover stor$& “'rosperit$ soft-pedals (eltompítja) the conse(uences of Adam)s fall — sin, pain and death, Jesus’ atoning sacrifice  (vezeklő áldozat) and the importance of repentance (!"á"at !.*

    • 'rosperit$ critics point out that in the +ible, Christians are assured

     persecution - Tim. &/-! and suffering Acts 0&/1! and admonished toward

    self"denial 2ar# 3&4!. 5o which verses grant hope for new cars, job

    • A -881 poll b$ Time reported that 1 percent of Christians in !merica said

    the$ identified with the movement.

    • Critics argue that leaders attempt to control the lives of adherents b$

      This doctrine)s focus on material world is a s$mptom of the secularization

    of !merican religion and an attempt to fulfil the !merican "ream  b$

    using supernatural power 

      Critics also argue that prosperit$ teholog$ promotes the idolatry

    (bálványi!ádás)  of money despite Jesus) teaching indicating a disdain for 

    material wealth

    • The central message is said to be inconsistent with the gospel of Jesus

    which should be about Jesus’ life, death and resurrection (feltá!adás)

    • #his doctrine appeals to those who are already in rich, affluent (tehet"s)

    societies  but that man$ Christians in other societies are impoverished or 

    imprisoned.

    1. John 10:10 — !he thief comes only to steal and "ill and destroy# $ ha%e

    come that they may ha%e life& and ha%e it to the full'(

    (' tolvaj "em egy$$rt j %a"em %ogy lopjo" $s *lj*" $s pusztítso"+ $" az$rt j*ttem %ogy$let*k legye" $s v*lk*dje"ek,)

    The abundance of life suggested here has to do with #nowing and being #nown

     b$ Jesus, not an e;tension of ph$sical life nor an increase of material possessions, but the certaint$ of a life lived as a higher level of obedience to

    $od’s will and reflecting his glor$.

    )' James *:) — +ou do not ha%e because you do not as" ,od'(

    (#".se" semm#tek mert "em k$r#tek,)

    This verse is as “"ame #t a"d .la#m #t/< part of the prosperit$ gospel — if $ou

    don)t “have,* it)s because $ou haven)t pra$ed enough. #his interpretationignores the verse that follows, in which James sa$s, “=hen $ou as#, $ou do

    not receive, because $ou as# with wrong motives, that $ou ma$ spend what $ou

    get on $our pleasures.*=hile pra$er is crucial to the life of a Christian, using it

    to force God into appeasing the believer)s desires also goes against the ver$

     pra$er Jesus pra$ed on the eve of his crucifi;ion& “>et not m$ will, but $ours be

    done* < ("evezd meg $s szerezd meg)

    ' Mar" 10:).-0 — /o one ho has left home or brothers or sisters or mother 

    or father or children or fields for me and the gosel ill fail to recei%e a

    hundred times as much in this resent age'(

    (0e"k# s#".s ak# el%agyta %ázát vagy f#testv$re#t vagy "őtestv$re#t vagy atyját vagy a"yjátvagy feles$g$t vagy gyermeke#t vagy szá"t1f*ldje#t $"$rettem $s az eva"g$l#um$rt ak# száza""y#t "e kap"a most ee" az #dőe" a j*ve"dő v#lágo" ped#g *r*k $letet,)

    'rosperit$ preachers are #nown for their emphasis on giving, which on its face

    seems to line up with scripture. :owever, the motivation the$ teach — giving in

    order to get — distorts the biblical tradition. The reward indicated here is

    fellowship  with hundreds and thousands of other believers encouraging

    obedient discipleship not personal gain.

    *' ) Corinthians 8:. — !hough he as rich& yet for your sa"e he became oor&

    so that you through his o%erty might become rich'(

    (o%a gazdag volt $rtetek szeg$""y$ lett %ogy szeg$"ys$ge által meggazdagodjatok,)

    'rosperit$ teachers read this verse to suggest that Jesus) sacrificial deathaffords us temporal wealth. 2ost Christians agree that when 'aul sa$s that

    Jesus was “rich,* he)s referring to his status as the 5on of God. And his

     becoming poor was his voluntar$ act of stepping into humanit$.

    2' Malachi :10 — Bring the hole tithe into the storehouse ' ' ' and see if $ ill

    not thro oen the floodgates of hea%en and our out so much blessing that

    there ill not be room enough to store it'(

    (2ozzátok e a t#zedet m#"d az $" tár%ázama %ogy legye" e""#val1 az $" %ázama" $s ezzel  pr1áljatok meg e"gem azt mo"dja a 0eregek"ek 3ra %a "em "y#tom meg "$ktek az egek .sator"á#t $s %a "em árasztok reátok áldást ős$gese",)

    This verse is a powerful fundraising tool for prosperit$ preachers,

    manipulating believers into tithing more b$ sa$ing God will return the favor 

    e;ponentiall$. This verse has nothing to do with individual riches%   rather, it

    arises from a particular historical situation for ?srael& “The ?sraelites wererobbing God b$ not giving enough food to the national storehouse that was used

    to feed the priests of ?srael. 5o the priests were having to leave their priestl$

    duties and ta#e up farming to survive. God therefore e;horts ?srael to test him b$

    giving obedientl$. ?f the$ did, he would reward them as he did in the past.*

    =hereas most Christian scholars see this verse as a prophec$ that spiritual

    wounds sin! are healed overcome! b$ the atoning wor# of Jesus on the cross,

     prosperit$ gospel preachers interpret it to mean that abundant faith will result in

     ph$sical healing.

    home. The verse is not a promise to Christians toda$ who lose 9obs or

    his own timetable and plan, would restore his people.

    8' John 1*:1* — +ou may as" me for anything in my name& and $ ill do it'(

    ('m#t .sak k$rtek majd az $" "eveme" megteszem)

    'rosperit$ preachers misinterpret this verse to suggest that $od will answer the

    prayers of the faithful. +ut Christians praying for financial wealth  should

    consider the words of Jesus from 2atthew /0&-4& “?t is easier for a camel to go

    through the e$e of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the #ingdom of

    BILLY GRAHAM AND HIS ALTAR CALL

  • 8/16/2019 Modern-day American Christianity at a Glance Worksheet

    8/18

    An altar call is a practice in some evangelical churches in which

    those who wish to make a "ew sp#r#tual .omm#tme"t (8jra el akar k*teleződ"#! to Jesus Christ are invited to .ome forward (jele"tkez#k) publicl$. ?t is so named because t%e suppl#.a"ts (k$rv$"yező esdeklő)gather at the altar  located at the front of the church building. ?n

    the Old Testament, an altar was where sacrifices were made. 5o, the

    name Faltar callF refers to a believer FofferingF themselves on an altar 

    to God, as in omans /-&/&? beseech $ou therefore, brethren, b$ the

    mercies of God, that $e present $our bodies a living sacrifice, hol$,

    acceptable unto God, which is $our reasonable service. 2ost altar 

    calls occur at the end of an evangelical address, an invitation ma$ be

    referred to as an Faltar callF even if there is no actual altar present.
