A religious belief or theology claiming that financial blessings are a reward from God for the righteous, and that faith, positive speech or feelings, and donations religious groups or leaders will increase an individual's physical and/ or financial well-being. This theology teaches the idea that our spiritual and physical realities are inseparably connected, therefore those that are saved are entitled to “the good life.”
The idea is that as we grow in grace, we will grow in wealth, and creates a theology where how we appear to others takes precedence over who we are in our hearts. This theology promotes nationalism, pride, egoism, and other “us verse them” tropes to keep the Saints against one another, making it harder to convert others to God. This theology was taught by Enmer Kar/Nimrod, leading to the destruction of his people by God.
