What's interesting about the Word-Faith movement is that they take texts that are meant to be eschatological and turn them into the temporal. In the end, as most things, it's about how bad exegesis shapes theology, and how bad theology shapes application to life. Who says exegesis and theology are only for abstract ivory tower theologians?

Who says exegesis and theology are only for abstract ivory tower theologians?

The answer to your question (as you know) is "no" and "yes": 1. No - For example James 5:2 - "Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten" 2. Yes - For example Romans 10:12 - "The same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him" Yes - Ephesians 2:7 - "He might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus" Eternal riches - that's the stuff!
