    Yes, it often takes a while...

    But I think some of those prosperity gospel preachers are still on the Christian networks??

    There are about 2000 varieties of Christianity in the US. Sure, the larger organizations dominate the media, but millions of Americans are honest Christian citizens minding their own business and not trying to push it on to others.

    Not sure if there are prosperity preachers on television since I never watch them.

    Oh, there are definitely Christian hucksters out there. And unfortunately, no shortage of people who send them money.

    "Prosperity Christianity" has been declared blasphemy which is why Trump embraces it.

    Example. Here is

    https://www.christianpost.com/news/f...ty-gospel.html
    Televangelist and founder of World Changers Church International, Creflo Dollar, has been branded as "blasphemous" and declared a persona non grata in Glasgow by high profile moderator of the Free Church of Scotland, the Rev. David Robertson.

    Pointing to Dollar's reputation as a proponent of the prosperity gospel, Robertson, Moderator of the Free Church of Scotland, told Scottish news publication The National that Dollar should stay away from the country.

    "Creflo Dollar coming here is appalling. He's a multimillionaire, American, televangelist and we really do not need him here. The church doesn't need him. It's embarrassing to have somebody like that come. His prosperity gospel is blasphemous. It's not what people in Scotland need to hear," said Robertson, who is regarded as one of Scotland's boldest Christian broadcasters.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    True. It's worse when the President of the United States makes one his "spiritual advisor". Paula White is a scam artist.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...stream-heresy/
    Evangelicals should be deeply troubled by Donald Trump’s attempt to mainstream heresy
    Southern Baptist leader Russell Moore tweeted, “Paula White is a charlatan and recognized as a heretic by every orthodox Christian, of whatever tribe.” Yet increasingly one wonders whether modified versions of the prosperity gospel — religion as personal therapy for our best life now — has become more mainstream than we realize.

    Thanks to the First Amendment, Christian orthodoxy has never been a test for public office. But it is striking that Trump has surrounded himself with cadre of prosperity evangelists who cheerfully attack basic Christian doctrines. The focus of this unity is a gospel that is about as diametrically opposed to the biblical one as you can imagine.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.
