So...you believe in the prosperity gospel? You believe that God's favour is poured out on those who please him with wealth in this life? And conversely, the poor by their very poverty are known not to be pleasing to God?

Me, I've read the Book of Job, with its long, sustained, complete rejection of that "message." Importantly, a reasonable facsimile of the modern prosperity gospel held sway in Judaism before the notion of heaven (reward in the next life) was seeded in late Judaism. It was precisely that once dominant view that Job rejects.

But, Utilitas, I am open minded.  I would very much appreciate you educating me with chapter and verse. Please show me specifically were the prosperity gospel is to be found in scripture.
