Clint you are very right in what your saying. This is my opinion
so please no attacks. As for this prosperity thing. are you guys
refering to being prosperous in general or the "properity theology"
which teaches that if you're not prosperous or if you're sick, it is
because you are in sin?
In Christ,
Martin Nieves
