The promises to Israel were typological. They were a weaker type of the reality.
It isn't long life in the land that God promises the believer; it is eternal life in the New Heavens/New Earth.
Dispensationalists might not like my interpretation as they claim such things are "spiritualizing" but it's obvious it's true.
The believer who suffers in hope from cerebral palsy, etcetera, is preparing for a greater weight of glory. Same for any other believer who suffers in hope.
I would read Hebrews 11, James 1, etcetera.
Those Health, Wealth, Prosperity guys are simply false teachers. And, if they don't repent, they will suffer eternal punishment.

The version of bible you are referencing Deuteronomy from has an uncertain sound. The KJV says; I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. "life" in this scripture has reference to that "good and abundant life" that we can enjoy, if we will follow God's commandments. "death" has reference to non-fellowship with God. It does not have reference to eternal life, and death in hell. All scriptures must harmonize in order to understand the truth. Other scriptures teach that prospering with worldly things and money brings no joy and peace with it.
I was in a hurry and just grabbed any tranlation. Good & Evil are the same basic Hebrew words used in reference to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. There is a slight variation. The first letter הַ represents Hey or behold. This represents someone with their head up and their hands waving in the air. This letter is added to the word in the Deut passage. The tree did not draw attention to itself in this way.

It is not our job to separate the wheat from the chaff. That is up to the angels at the end of the era. "‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat into my barn.’” (Matthew 13:29,30) I have attended churches like that but I am often under a gag order. I am told just to sit there and listen and keep my mouth shut. They do not like the questions that I ask. They do not like people to point out the error in what they are saying. Even though we are told: "reprove a wise man, and he will love you." (Proverb9:8)
I suppose it's easy for some religious nuts to accuse others of being false teachers, and the like, without any scriptural proof.
I prefer to use the scriptures in the bible to speak truth.
You on the other hand have used nothing in the bible to argue your point.
Show me, if I am such a false teacher, where I perverted scripture in my last post.
"And, if they don't repent, they will suffer eternal punishment." SERIOUSLY? WHAT A JOKE!!!
Quoting scripture, and believing what is written, as it is written, is now an unpardonable sin if we don't repent of our wicked sinful ways?
Where do you people come up with this garbage?
i can make dumb assertions without any scriptural backing, as well, but then I would be corrupt and wicked as well.
You want to prove a point, LET'S TALK SCRIPTURE.

Watch the Pentecostals/Word of Faith/charismatics come out in full force protecting these heretics.
Did you know Todd Bentley has been trying to pay young men for sex acts? Yet, charismatics have been protecting him until recently....and I think the only reason for that is due to uproars in the non-charismatic camp.

Joyce Meyer
By the way..here's a good example of this nonsense...she claims Jesus went to hell after the Cross and Satan/the demons hopped on his back and were beating the crap out of him.
What was her source?
A revelation.
Copeland believes something similar..so do most Word of Faithers.
And, they claim Jesus was "born again" in hell.
Crazy.
He said on the Cross..it is FINISHED. He didn't need to go to hell and be beaten by demons.
Yet, gullible people will still believe these guys and their nonsense.
