To further wedge the patristics from the modern celebrities: How can the rockstar prosperity gospel preachers claim that if you are faithful you will be blessed with wealth when the first several centuries of Christians were largely characterized as being the poor and rejected demographic of society? Amazing how Christianity survied through three centuries of "unblessed" Christians, uh??
