So? Christ taught that prosperity decreases chaces of salvation. It is absurd to defend Protestant heresies with economics; that the "gospel of prosperity" couild be invented in the first place condemns your theology.
Do Roman Catholics even read the Bible? Have you ever heard of the parable of the talents? Christ says increase is good because with it we help our fellow man.
The Roman Catholic church hordes gold and silver and jewels. So we know where Rome's heart lies.
Protestants believe in dedicating their work and their lives to Christ. Therefore work glorifies God. God's bounty increases the individual good as well as the general good. More begets more.
It's really pathetic how comfortable middle class Roman Catholics defend the abject poverty of Latin America as something favorable to their salvation.
I suppose it does work to Rome's advantage to keep them barefoot and illiterate.
"For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." -- 1 Corinthians 10:30-31
"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." -- Luke 6:38 "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." -- Isaiah 55:11
