So with all these school of thought about divine wealth being evil, can someone explain what the bible meant when it says "I wish above all things that thou may prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth"--3 John 2. Then again, the Apostle Paul tells us that Christ though he was rich, became poor for our sakes, that through his poverty we might become rich. Can get some explanations folks?
You know, I think if I'll miss the kingdom of God because of his financial blessings then it stands to reason that the other saints in the scripture who enjoyed humongous wealth would have also missed it. You know, saints like Abraham ( the Father of Faith), David (the man after God's own heart), Job (the perfect and upright man). All these folks walked perfectly with God, in spite o their supernatural material providence. Of course, these folks apparently are in paradise already.
But anyway, on the other hand, poverty can still permit anyone who cares to toe its path to still make it to the kingdom of God. Hence, its a matter of choice.
