>>and blesses me materially<<

Interesting, in that it's a direct contradiction to what He taught, which was to not follow or concern ourselves with material things.

Coveting (desiring earthly treasures) is idolatry - both are in direct violation of the 10 Commandments.

Re: "Seeking healing" - "Healing" and "having stuff" are two different things, please don't attempt to blur the lines. I am healed by the indwelling Holy Spirit - and that's all I need. Again, He said "My grace is sufficient", and I'm not in any position to question or deny that.

Then I guess all those people that came to Jesus blind, and lame, and sick, and on behalf of people who were DEAD, were just not as "holy and righteous" as you, huh?

Hogwash. You don't understand Him as well as you think you do. He never bashed them for seeking PHYSICAL healing, and He never bashes people for seeking to be taken care of materially. Yes, I have spiritual healing eternally, and my heart is so changed on things (sins I thought would NEVER leave), and I rejoice in that. And I also rejoice in all the material blessings I've received, and I'm not going to denouce the Lord for healing and blessing people (ME). Instead, I'LL PRAISE HIM! :)
