[QUOTE="Blinocac200sx, post: 2698651, member: 5"] A lot of folks in the prosperity gospel movement glom on to Jeremiah 29:11, from the NIV. First of all, if you look at the original text, where the NIV says prosper, the original text uses the word shalom. You may recognize this as a Hebrew greeting, it means peace. Also, where the NIV says "hope and a future." the original text uses the words "tiqvah achariyth" tiqvah litterally means a cord but is often used to mean "what is expected", and achariyth means end. He's not promising some abundance here, he's just promising peace and a normal life. Secondly, I believe some things in scripture are specifically said to one person. I believe this passage of Jeremiah is one of those instances. [/QUOTE]
