No.

Ask this guy:  http://www.creflodollarministries.org/Broadcast/BroadcastCenter.aspx
I once heard him thanking his congregation for his SECOND Rolls Royce. 
But Jesus had no place to lay His head. Think about it.

"Creflo has two Rolls-Royce’s (which he tells his congregation was given to him --  the church purchased the first one for him). He flies in a $5 million private jet to his speaking engagements in the US to Europe (the church also owns a Gates Learjet. Estimated value: $985,000). Dollar met his wife at West Georgia College in Carrollton and graduated in 1984 with a bachelor's degree in education. They have five children, three girls and two boys. He lives in a $1 million home behind iron gates in an upscale Atlanta neighborhood and owns another worth $1.27 million). The church has amassed a fortune in real estate, mostly in College Park. Like other word faith teachers Dollar is often accompanied by bodyguards in public. "

As a former homeless, impoverished person, I resent Holier than thou preaching extolling the virtues of poverty. God has blessed me to turn my life from one of poverty and despair to one of prosperity and fruitfulness....I am not rich by any means, but it took knowing that God wants and desires for me to prosper as a source of inspiration, strength and faith! I had to learn that God does not desire that we be in poverty.
Many many other people have the same perspective as I, we have been indoctrinated with years and years of the virtue of the poverty gospel which you and others wave as a banner of your self imposed piety.
 
This poverty gospel is a lie from the pit of hell, used in the past by wicked men to keep poor people satisfied with lives of poverty waiting for the day they can walk the golden streets of heaven while the wicked men themselves enjoy all the abundant blessings of the land that God has given to every man right here on earth. Beginning in Rome on to England, to American slaves and South American Indians, priests were used to extol the virtues of poverty upon the masses to lull them into a complacent sleep of looking foward to heaven while greedy men exploited and oppressed them.
  
Beyond that poor people and poor churches are totally ineffective in reaching the world much less helping those in need.

Thank God for those men and women of God who have studied the Word and exposed this blatant and outlandish lies of the devil that defies the Word of God.
Jesus is the Word. The Law and the Prophets speak of Him. The Word of God makes it abundantly clear God desires that we live well, prosper and have good lives lacking no good thing.

Any gospel that teaches otherwise is a false gospel. The only truth in such a gospel is that we should learn to be content with whatever we have and that we should not make riches our focus but rather the Kingdom. Otherwise God desires that we use our giftings and talents to attain all the best He has Created. That is why Heaven is not described as a tenement slum but rather as a lavish gloriously rich city and why Jesus described the places prepared for us as Mansions!

I urge all the readers of this thread to study all the scriptures I have posted and judge my writings based upon those scriptures

That stated thank you all for this opportunity to dispel the lies of the devil

As to the question of this post... the question itself is bated...of course Jesus did not teach a prosperity gospel, there is no such thing.....there's only the gospel!
 
The question is do you "really" know the gospel?

The answer is unfortunately sometimes it doesn't seem like it

Secondly.... there is no such thing as a prosperity gospel and more importantly

there is no such thing as the poverty gospel that the Catholic church used to preach and "some" people still cling to out of tradition and ignorance

The question is did Jesus teach people poverty equated with righteousness?

The answer is no!

The next question is did Jesus say that rich people were doomed to hell?

The answer again is no!

The question is did Jesus personally give Salvation to a rich man?

The answer is yes! Luke 19

The next question is was Joseph of Arimathea rich?

The answer is yes! Matthew 27:57

The next question is were all Jesus disciples homeless?

The answer is no...someone owned the Upper Room where they had the Last Supper and waited for Pentecost...is seated 120
Matthew 18 / Acts 1

The next question is... were there any other well off prominent disciples that supported Jesus ministry with money

Yes! read Luke 8:3

The next question was Jesus homeless as one poster suggested?

No! John 1:39

The next question is was Jesus poor?

The answer is no, if Kings ( plural) visit you and give you gifts of gold and other expensive items when you are just a baby, unless your parents squander it you're definitely not broke. Jesus was given quite an endowment as a baby.
Matthew 2:11

The next question is Why did the soldiers gamble for Jesus clothes?

Is it because they believed He was the son of God? ...nope

Is it because His clothes were well made and not the clothes of a poor person?
Bingo that's the answer !!! John 19:23

The next question is was His parents poor?

No...They were prepared to rent a room but there was no vacancy in the inn
Luke 2:7

The next question is...did Jesus have a treasurer?


The answer is Yes! Judas, John 12:6

The next question is was the treasury full of dust and buttons or did they have money in it

The answer is yes, enough money to support the functions of the ministry!
John 13:29

The next question is did Jesus and the disciples feed the poor

The answer is yes!
John 13:29


The next question is when they discussed the poor did they consider themselves as poor?

The answer is no! John 12:8

Besides, in my devotion to the temple of my God I now give my personal treasures of gold and silver for the temple of my God, over and above everything I have provided for this holy temple:
three thousand talents of gold (gold of Ophir) and seven thousand talents of refined silver, for the overlaying of the walls of the buildings,
for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now, who is willing to consecrate himself today to the Lord?”
1 Chronicles 29:3-5

6Then the leaders of families, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king’s work gave willingly.
7They gave toward the work on the temple of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze and a hundred thousand talents of iron.
8Any who had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the temple of the Lord in the custody of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9The people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the Lord. David the king also rejoiced greatly.

gospel

I think throughout the bible its abundantly clear that one's attitude towards riches and money are what can be godly or ungodly.

Gain is not the "sole" designator of godliness by any means!
Neither is poverty!

That the devil can give people "material " wealth is quite obvious, There are many who are spiritually impoverished yet materially affluent.

However America is and has been considered a nation blessed by God and as such the Bread Basket of the world.

On the other hand

Would we say the same about Bangladesh?

Honestly Do we consider a nation steeped in poverty as a blessed nation and a blessed people?

More importantly does the bible?

I think not!

Yet many believers are taught the age old tradition of the virtues of poverty as if it is a blessing of God and a thing to be desired 

I am sooo touched.

Since you guys are so rich, can you spare $10,000.
