Christianity brings about tangible good in this life

Prosperity is not a good, unless it is given away and Christ is followed instead (Luke 18:22). Nowehere in the Gospel do you find "increase" or "abundance" refer to material goods approvingly. In 2 Corinthians 3:15 it is grace that abounds, not "tangible good".

You are a Protestant. Therefore you read one thing and think another, and believe the liars that lead you so much you even think your quotes support your delusions.

"Christianity brings about tangible good in this life"

Prosperity is not a good

"Tangible good" is not "prosperity" in goods. Prosperity is peace of mind, mental well-being, confidence in the future, certainty of faith. And all those blessings are tangible.

Obviously Rome denies these gifts to its members because Rome wants to keep them uncertain and fearful. Pitiful.

You are a Protestant. Therefore you read one thing and think another, and believe the liars that lead you so much you even think your quotes support your delusions.

Well, we know that Roman Catholics think Paul is "loony" and "deluded." But we'll follow his Scriptural teaching all the way home.

"Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." -- Philippians 4:4-7

Christians can only wonder why Rome preaches another gospel of fear and unfulfilled promises of Christ.

Stop making the thread about individual posters, how many times do you need to be told? How hard is it to follow a few posting rules?
