But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. -- 1Timothy 6:9-10 (ESV)

There are few preachers out there as dangerous and false as Todd White. He has also been clever in the past, never making too big a splash that would draw unwanted attention to him and his "ministry" efforts. He played a major role in Darren Wilson's unbelievably heretical Holy Ghost movies. Who can ever forget Todd pulling the "growing leg scam" at the Korn concert? He also built his rep as a "healer" but only would practice his craft on unsuspecting people in foreign countries that had impressionable conditions that could easily be manipulated through the power of suggestion. Todd was very good at what he did. So good that his cult like following started to become more mainstrean and recently he opened his own fake supernatural school like Bethel, IHOP and even recently Dr. Michael Brown have all done. He has moved up in the ranks of the Purpose Driven Industrial Complex. He started affiliating himself with more powerful hucksters than just the Robbie Dawkins and Darren Wilsons of the world. Specifically, he started palling around with Kenneth Copeland, one of the grandfathers of hucksterism. Now it seems that Todd has thrown caution to the wind. He is fully out of hiding now and recently a brief video went public of him preaching about prosperity and how great Kenneth Copeland is. This video is linked above so let us reason together once more beloved:
"People call prosperity some twisted doctrine. God wants you to be in good health. He wants you to prosper. He wants your soul to prosper. You see when you have a prosperous soul, money doesn't matter to you. The more you have, the more you give. I promise you. The more God gives you the more you become a giver. And you give and give and give and give. Why? Because God so loved the world He gave. So that is what we do as Christians, we give. You're like, "well you you're just after money." No. God's not after you, he is after you never being had by money. Money doesn't make the world go around -- Jesus does." -- Todd White
It is interesting that right after White decries people calling prosperity doctrine twisted, he proceeds to twist his foundational point in defending prosperity! God wants you to be in good health is immediately conflated with God wants you to prosper. These are two entirely different concepts beloved. The term prosper is code-speak for charlatans looking to fleece God's flock. He then makes an unbiblical and inaccurate point in claiming that when you have a prosperous soul money no longer matters to you. Is this supported anywhere in the bible? No. Is it even supported in the world system? Absolutely not. Sure, rich people give money but rarely as much as they could. Consider that Jesus addressed this exact point:
And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. And he called his disciples to him and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on." -- Mark 12:41-44 (ESV)
It is easy for the rich to give out of their abundance. True faith is giving out of your lack. This false premise is often used by prosperity pimps. That we give to be a blessing so if we just had more to give we could be even more of a blessing. White then shows he is a newbie at this by mangling John 3:16. As if God "giving" His only Son had anything to do with earthly prosperity! Lastly here is the usage of a trite and silly soundbite about money not making the world go around. Now Todd steps up his game:
"when you become a radical giver and become a radical tither. A radical offeror and a person that just blesses people you step into the Abrahamic Blessing. The blessing of Abraham. People get such attitudes with this -- get over you! I could care less what you think right now. I really don't. it doesn't matter to me. I love you but you need to be free. This isn't about hoarding everything for yourself. This is about changing the world through a currency that the devil uses to manipulate." -- Todd White
