Palin's Movement Urges 'Godly' To 'Plunder' Wealth of 'Godless
By Bruce Wilson

The McCain campaign, during the 2008 election, has repeatedly attacked Barack Obama for advocating that the U.S. federal government seek more wealth equality in America, by "spreading the wealth." But McCain's running mate Sarah Palin is closely associated, as noted in a recent New York Times story, with "spiritual warfare", an aggressive approach to evangelizing developed by the leaders of a worldwide religious movement which promotes a religiously based wealth transfer scheme as a means to implement theocracy.

As the top leader of the New Apostolic Reformation, which extensive evidence suggests is Sarah Palin's chosen religious and political movement, C. Peter Wagner proclaimed, on June 21, 2006, that "God has declared through His prophets that the wealth of the wicked will be released to the Kingdom of God."

A new 36 page report ( read online / PDF file / some of the highlights of the report ), from an independent research team that has specialized in studying Sarah Palin's faith, contains ground breaking information on a religious movement Sarah Palin is tied to and which advocates that its members "plunder" the wealth of the "godless".

Wagner detailed his religiously based wealth transfer scheme to power a theocratic takeover, stating "I declare that this wealth will be distributed for the extension of the Kingdom of God by the apostles that God has set in the church." Wagner made clear that that human agency would be a part of his wealth transfer scheme, and Wagner specifically singled out the "godless":

"I decree that vast amounts of wealth will be released supernaturally, even from godless and pagan sources... The enemy's camp will be plundered... Resistance will be impossible. Jesus will put all things under His feet."

6. Gee...maybe I oughta try this schtick...
...next time I get the urge to go on a larceny spree.

Just tell the cops and prosecutor that I'm 'releasing the wealth' from the 'pagan and godless' in order to 'extend the kingdom of god.'

I'm sure they'll go along with it if I explain it that way...:eyes:

:sarcasm:

8. If they're fundies, they just might.
After all, there are people waaaaaay up in high places ripping off billions, yet in some corners are still hailed as "good Christians." :puke:

7. In a related story...Time: Prosperity Gospel Blamed for Subprime Hell
Maybe We Should Blame God for the Subprime Mess
Has the so-called Prosperity gospel turned its followers into some of the most willing participants — and hence, victims — of the current financial crisis? That's what a scholar of the fast-growing brand of Pentecostal Christianity believes. While researching a book on black televangelism, says Jonathan Walton, a religion professor at the University of California at Riverside, he realized that Prosperity's central promise — that God will "make a way" for poor people to enjoy the better things in life — had developed an additional, dangerous expression during the subprime-lending boom. Walton says that this encouraged congregants who got dicey mortgages to believe "God caused the bank to ignore my credit score and blessed me with my first house." The results, he says, "were disastrous, because they pretty much turned parishioners into prey for greedy brokers."

12. But, isn't that "religiously based wealth transfer" EXACTLY what the Anti-Christ is supposed to do??
I guess the irony is lost on these DUMBASS XTIANS that the very thing they are proposing is mentioned in the Book of Revelations. But, in the Bible it is the Anti-Christ who institutes a system where "non-members" have difficulty economically without carrying the "mark of the beast."

Dumbasses...
