Does it work? And is it moral to pray for money?
i guess if you're catholic you're supposed to take pride in being impoverished, but if you're a protestant who isn't a spooked to death by rome, sure why not

>take pride in being impoverished
pride is the wrong word anon. catholics strive for poverty to be like christ.

but christ was a failed leader who got killed by his 30s, at least mohamed successful waged jihad against his enemies and ruled over a burgeoning empire, so wouldn't it be better to copy him? especially since he was rich and fucked mad chicks?

but anon Christ -- that is, Jesus as son-of-god -- was a martyr for the human race, an attempt to break the endless chain of violence against scapegoats. one last ultimate sacrifice to end war forever by uniting mankind.
Muhammad (pbuh) was a prophet whose message included violence. His was a misunderstanding of latter-day Christians who had already fucked up Christ's message by convention. How is this someone to follow.
Anyway I'm asking about Creflo Dollar. Is there such a thing as theology of money? Money has been around since the fertile cresent. Why is it just now is worship for it becoming naked? And is it justified without a greater theological component? And who's the premier? Creflo? Pic related? Someone else?

Protestantism was a mistake.
>Does it work?
I don't know, haven't read it. Does it work because the Holy Spirit possesses your boss and compels him to give you a raise? No. Does it work because it might encourage you to live a more orderly life, and an orderly life is more conducive to making and keeping money? Yes.
>Is it moral to pray for money.
I don't think it's immoral per se, but petitionary prayers are the absolute lowest form of prayer and are literally childish.

catholics don't strive poverty , they have a 'cannon' saint that they can ask for money from

this isnt representative of the entire Church
You know the Church also includes every single dirt-poor missionary, monastery and small countryside woodshack Catholic parish, right?
So yes we have large Cathedrals and Basilicas but we also do the most charity work in the entire world. And the majority of those Cathedrals were built with the funds donated from wealthy royal families, and built by average craftsmen and laborers of that time who all volounteered to build them.
People who make this arguement about muh cathedruls and muhgold and vestments are truly the weakest race.

>Implying Jesus(Peace be upon him) actually died.
>Implying any of Allah's prophets (Peace and blessing upon them all) were unsuccessful.
>Doesn't know that Jesus(Alayhi Salam) will return and defeat the anti Christ and establish global Sharia law.
>Doesnt realize that Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) commanded the Muslims who meet Jesus (alayhi salam) to wish peace and blessings upon Jesus (alayhi salam) on behalf of Muhammad(sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
STOP INSULTING JESUS(alayhi salam)
