Many say Jesus had no money but Jesus had a special man just to carry the money bag!! Think!
What need has a poor man in need of a man to carry the money bag?? John 13:29 Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
So you are stating, that He's assigned you to carry the purse.

Or are you saying He's handed you a sop, which is it?

NASB - 2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prosper

NKJV - 2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

Let me Guess. KJV?

every one who disagrees with God's Word is allowing satan to use them as his tool and fool! and you??
Who is disagreeing with God's Word? The one who perverts it, such as trying to make a greeting into false doctrine.

Again !! Are you saying God above all does not want His people to prosper and be in health But that it is Paul that is and cares more than God???? Really??

Seriously? If I send you a greeting, wishing you good health, you would take it as a theological statement? It's just dishonest use of the Bible. But this is what all cults do, pick verses out of context and make them say what they want to hear.

Did Paul prosper financially? Did Peter and John? God isn't about making you wealthy, his business is to make you Holy.

Paul. Peter and John lived with, walked, and talked with Jesus for three years and their needs were supplied for the work they were doing.

DID THEY PROSPER FINANCIALLY?

Did they enjoy constant good health and wealth in this life?
"I know I sound like a madman, but I have served him far more! I have worked harder, been put in prison more often, been whipped times without number, and faced death again and again. 24 Five different times the Jewish leaders gave me thirty-nine lashes. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day adrift at sea. 26 I have traveled on many long journeys. I have faced danger from rivers and from robbers. I have faced danger from my own people, the Jews, as well as from the Gentiles. I have faced danger in the cities, in the deserts, and on the seas. And I have faced danger from men who claim to be believers but are not. 27 I have worked hard and long, enduring many sleepless nights. I have been hungry and thirsty and have often gone without food. I have shivered in the cold, without enough clothing to keep me warm..."

Some health and wealth gospel Paul's got going there.

The Apostles had a job to do and things of this world were of little interest to them after having lived with Jesus face to face!

That should tell you something about how we should feel about the things of this world too! They should be of little interest to us, instead of something we demand that God does for us.

Like Soloman, we don't demand from God but we can receive from God as Soloman did and became the richest man ever!!

And why would you want that? Solomon ended up leaving God because of this world's distractions.
