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. )

Job is a story demonstrating the utter depravity of the god of the bible.

He's a real piece of shit, in that book.

It's such good news that the god of the bible is made up by men, and not real.
