I never said anything about prosperity.So the prosperity gospel is the answer for a win for the LP? Must be nice to have a god at one's behest for such things.
Good, then you won't waste time with the LP.
erowe1, the key is the "Power Of Prayer"
All that God is, and all that God has, is at the disposal of prayer. Prayer can do anything that God can do, and as God can do everything, prayer is omnipotent.”
― R.A. Torrey
So pray that Libertarian Wyllie will replace Rick Scott who was CEO of a company that paid the largest Medicare Fraud fine of all time, $1.7 billion.
I never said anything about prosperity.
I went to Iowa State University(ISU) on a wrestling scholarship, the #1 team in America at the time so I know a thing or two about winners and losers. I'm lucky though because my wife is so smart. We went to this meeting in Dallas together and management had this basketball coach going to tell us about motivation and I told my wife, "Sure, they get a basketball coach." My smart wife says, "Keep an open mind." At the end of the speech my wife looks at me and says, "See, that's the best motivational speaker I have ever seen, right? I said, "OK, you are right again."
Nobody has the time to watch this speech but I do have a copy of it that I will share with you. Basketball's Jimmy Valvano - about winning!
http://www.faithstreet.com/onfaith/...ty-gospel-preachers-need-stop-misuising/32019The prosperity gospel goes by many names: Word of Faith, Health and Wealth, Name It and Claim It. This “different gospel” teaches that God provides rewards, including personal happiness, financial wealth and physical health, for believers who have sufficient faith.
http://www.spiritualliving360.com/index.php/name-it-and-claim-it-bible-prosperity-24737/Let me start by quoting R.A. Torrey who said, "There is no spiritual blessing that any believer enjoys that may not be yours..."The previously unheard of idea of Christians having all needs and desires met was originally espoused nationally by Dr. Oral Roberts as a biblical principle known as seedtime and harvest. Following Dr. Roberts with an expanded version of the seedtime and harvest message was Dr. Kenneth Hagen. Following in Dr. Roberts and Dr Hagen's footsteps came Kenneth Copeland who proclaimed the word of faith variation of seedtime and harvest with extreme success. Kenneth Copeland Ministries has one of the largest television viewer ratings in America for religious programming. Those who follow the word of faith or seedtime and harvest doctrine have been labeled by some as the word people. The word people qualify as a grass roots movement within Christendom.
There are those within the body of Christ who place emphasis on material gain. Others have assigned unflattering names to the Word movement such as "name it and claim it people" or "blab it and grab it people."...
Two things must be at work, both faith and giving are required for success...
It is not Biblical if faith or believing does not come first and our words are substituted for the word of God. You can take a scripture and stand on that scripture by claiming that scripture and as an act of faith give money or time or prayer for others as a seed, if, now please understand what "if" means here, if your money, time or prayer time is precious to your well being. Then it becomes a seed, or sacrifice to God and proof you believe God's words. When you have done that you can biblically name it and claim it.

Prosperity gospel is the term for the idea you have proposed for success in seeking the office of Governor. The above links describe the use of prayer for such ventures and the different names this belief goes by of which prosperity gospel is one. The term prosperity is not limited to financial success but is often thought of as such. Prosperity is the state of being successful...
I am in FL and absolutely voting for Wyllie. I don't care if he wins 1%, proud to be counted among those people. One day boobus will wake the f up. Stupid videos go viral all the time and we have a shot nowadays more than ever to elect a non mainstream candidate. People who vote for Crist or Scott because Wyllie has no chance are part of the problem.
So moonstruk, you twist R A Torrey into Dr. Oral Roberts. Let's see what R. A. Torrey said about Dr. Oral Roberts who will follow 40 years later:
Do not study commentaries, lesson helps or other books about the Bible: study the Bible itself. Do not study about the Bible, study the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God, and only the Bible is the Word of God. - R. A. Torrey
I hope this answers your question moonstuk. moonstruk, are you suggesting that people should not pray?
Good, then you won't waste time with the LP.
Now that's just silly. If you were condemning people who vote Libertarian regardless of the ticket, fine. If you're condemning people who actually voted for Robert Savaris over Cuccinelli, fine. But to just say that someone should NEVER support an LP candidate? Come on. I GUARANTEE there are more good LP candidates than there are good Republican candidates.
I wasn't really talking about just voting. I had heavy involvement in mind.
Easy to take? Should we all just play our video games, watch our sports while our country is being taken over? Should we all just give in and vote for tyranny and become slaves? I am surprised to see some of the posts on the Ron Paul forums that are exact opposite of what Ron Paul would say. Here in Florida we actually have a rare chance to have a good man as Governor and I am supporting him, what the hell is wrong with that?Are the people on this forum really that easy to take?
