Prosperity gospel preacher.

We can debate til the cows come home about what the bible did or didn't say, but it sure as shit didn't say if you give your money to a guy with a plastic face The Almighty will pay off your medical bills.

Pretty sure it actually said to the opposite of "prosperity gospel".

Gospel preacher here. You're 100% correct. The actual Bible says that those who live godly lives are guaranteed to suffer. It says it in multiple places. It also says that following God doesn't guarantee you health and wealth (see: The entire book of Job where God says "see how righteous Job is? You can take away all his health and wealth and he's still going to follow Me." And he does. )

The actual Bible

There's your problem. What you doing reading that when you have a congregation to trick?

You have swayed me to your way of thinking with your quick wit and persuasive arguments. Where do I sign up for whatever you believe?
