Today's @Tao Jones: It is interesting to note that it is generally the younger men who believe in "prosperity" teaching and the older men who do not. I wonder why that might be?As Paul instructs the church in Philippians 4, we are to learn to be content in all circumstances, "whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." Wealth and poverty are equally distracting, as they prompt us to focus on money. Our prayer instead can be: "Give us this day our daily bread." Jesus is enough for today. And he always will be.

Exactly!! Paul himself was NEVER ever recorded to be wanting to gain financially. Jews were automatically 3 times more compassionate to their fellow man and supporting the poor was WAY MORE than you will ever find in today's society!! After all, the 2nd GREATEST COMMANDMENT was, Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your mind and with all your body (being) and with all your strength (might).’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

It's quite a shame that nowadays most of the evangelicalism in South America is just that: prosperity and more prosperity. It's hard to find a church that doesn't give a priority <25% to prosperity; they even do "prophetic acts" in faith of God giving them money or other stuff.
