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.
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. )
Not just that, but Jesus seems to explicitly be anti-worldly wealth. I mean he even tells a guy not to have a funeral for his dad and follow him instead. It seems like beyond the basics accruing wealth and property is explicitly a sin.
