Show me some scripture where poverty and want and sickness and disease are what God offers as blessings. Not anecdotal, or opinion statements.
Believe what you choose to believe, brother. Or what you choose NOT to believe.
And enjoy the benefits of it. But you can’t really gripe about or fight to improve your circumstances.
If you don’t believe God wants you wealthy and prosperous, don’t fight with Him. Don’t hunt for raises or promotions or stock-market wins.
If you don’t believe He wants you healed -— well and healthy -— don’t fight Him over it. No need for medicines or docs or dentists.
If you don’t know whether He does or doesn’t, don’t fight with those who DO have a belief.
Either way, if you’re a Christian we’re on the same side.
BTW, what was in Judas’ bag? He was the disciples’ treasurer. For what?
And how did the disciples and the apostles travel and live and eat?
And lastly, do you believe it is possible to CHOOSE to live a life as an ascetic?
"it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." - Matthew 19:24
"And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”" - Mark 10:21
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth. and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven ," - Matthew 6:19-20
Secondly, your claim of "anecdotal evidence" refuses to recognize the character of Jesus - where was Jesus' material wealth? (2 2 Corinthians 8:9 ). The Pharisees were rich - they became rich on their religion, those very qualities you glorify - and Jesus despised them. He even ridiculed their "tithing" (Mathew 23:23).
John 16:33 - Jesus promises we will have trouble on earth. To focus on these troubles is to ignore the eternal gift of Christ. It's the infantile focus on the gift - rather than the Giver. Prosperity gospel is not Biblical.
To preach those things that are not biblical may be to lead the little ones astray. Perhaps, even now, those who execute God's final judgement are fitting a millstone for your neck.
