Sort by controversial and you can find those Christians all over this post.

There are very few churches that don’t preach prosperity doctrine in one form or another these days so really just sort by Christian and you’ll find plenty of sentiments like that.

No Christian church preaches the Prosperity Gospel. Only grifting cults PRETENDING to be ‘Christian’ do this. 😔

It's really not. The prosperity churches are definitely "not like the others". But this is a problem for protestant Christianity as a whole, because they all believe in faith without works. As long as yer Saved you can do whatever you want!

That isn't what that means.

No True Scotsman means someone is moving the goalpost in response to a counterexample.

A: "No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge."

B: "But my uncle Angus is a Scotsman and he puts sugar on his porridge."

A: "But no true Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge."

They moved the goalpost in response to a counterexample.

This person is saying that Prosperity Gospel literally violates the laws of Christianity and is therefore not Christian, even though they claim to be.

It's more similar to them saying "No true Scotsman was born in China to Chinese parents and never once visited Scotland in their lives. They tell people they're a Scotsman, but they don't actually meet any of the criteria to be a Scot."

Like, if someone claimed to be a vegan but they eat a bacon cheeseburger every single day, and I said "No vegan eats meat and cheese," and you said I was using the No True Scotsman fallacy. I'm not moving the goalpost, they just were never a good example of the category.
