The problem with you, Popeye, is that you don't have a clue how to rightly divide the Word of God.
That means knowing how to interpret, in terms of context, historical, within the passage, the chapter, the book, the covenant and the whole Bible.
Good hermeneutics means that you start with the "plain meaning" of the text. That means the "original" meaning that the author plainly intended, and that the original readers should have plainly understood.
Although the Bible is a book for all seasons and times, it speaks out of the past directly to our present situation, and it does so because it spoke to the readers first. Therefore, the first task of interpretation is to NOT to find out what the Bible says to us, but what it originally said to the readers. God's Word is not a new word, never before discovered, rather it must be the very same word that He originally spoke back then and there. And this is the only legitimate Word to be heard in Scripture. (No mysteries or hidden revelations!)
These "perfect wealth and health" teachers fail to do adequate exegesis, which has to do with determining the meaning of a text in the original context.
For example, it is often argued by WoF that Isa. 53:4 in Matthew 8:17 and Isaiah 53:5 in 1 Peter 2:24 that healing is in the atonement the same way as forgiveness of sins.
"Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed." Isa. 53:4-5
Even the AoG in their position papers does not see healing in the same way as the atonement, simply because there are not the texts to support. While healing is "provided for" because of the "atonement", we still live in a fallen world, and the consequences of sin, including sickness and death are still our lot until the resurrection.
Matthew's use of Isa. 53:4 does not even refer to the cross, rather the gospel writer sees it being fulfilled in Jesus' earthly ministry. This is made certain by both the context and by his choice of Greek verbs in his own unique translation of the Hebrews (elaben= he took; ebateasen= he removed)
The citation of Isa. 53:5 in 1 Peter, does not refer to healing at all, but is metaphorical, pure and simple! in context, in which slaves are urged to submit to their evil masters - even it if means their suffering for it - Peter appeals to the example of Christ, which slaves are to follow. Sin is seen as a "wound," in this metaphor, and we are restored to health from the sickness of our sins!
The Septuagint translates Isa. 53:5 as "He himself bore our sin" rather than "our sickness, " showing that besides this one passage from the Old Testament is disputed, despite the fact that it is a proof text by WoF.
Further, Matthew's clearly saw Isa. 53:4 as referring to physical healing, for sure - but as part of the Messiah's ministry, not as part of the atonement.
Thus, neither of the New Testament passages see Isaiah 53 as referring to physical healing as part of the atonement. Israel was diseased by her on-going sin, she was grievously wounded for her sins (Isa. 1:6-7), yet God would restore his people. There would come one who himself would suffer so as to deliver.
Isaiah says of the Messiah "The punishment that brought us peace, was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." In the context of Isaiah, it refers to the healing of the wounds and disease of sin.
The Bible, therefore does NOT teach explicitly that healing is provided for in the atonement, despite the false teaching by the Wof movement.
I could go more deeply into the heresy of name it and claim it wealth, or more important, a Biblical theology of how God views wealth and the poor, in both the New and Old Testaments, if you want. Suffice it to say, that God is with the poor, chastises the rich for oppressing the poor, and Jesus came to proclaim the good news to the poor. A far cry from the green car which did not come, because it was not named and claimed enough in the eyes of these Word of Faith heretics, as Highwayman has described above.
