The trouble is, is that it is not historic Christianity. You do provide a snippet of Paul, of Luke (Acts), Proverbs, and a total out of context John as proof.
There is no NT support that wealth and status are indications of the favour of God. Where do you guys pull your doctrines from? You guys cannot get it right on anything. An example is your heretical post on the Rosary thread. How can you possibly lay claim to even being Christian?
I never said wealth and status are indications of God's favor. You did. I know plenty of miserable, unhappy, decadent wealthy people of status.
The Scriptural truth says all things come from God. Historic Roman Catholicism taught the same thing. Too bad so many RC apologists today seem so determined to argue every point with Christians that they deny even this fact.
