Subscribers to Prosperity Gospels always focus on certain passages or verses to support their arguments.

There is no such thing as prosperity gospel but there is prosperity in the Gospel.

Let me ask you a question since previously you said I don't know scripture..

And I'm quoting the whole chapter here.

Mark 10:17-29

The Rich and the Kingdom of God

17As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

18“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’d ”

20“Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”

21Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

22At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”

24The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it ise to enter the kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

26The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”

27Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

28Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!”

29“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. 31But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
Look at verse 29 and 30.

Help me to understand what jesus is saying.

29“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life.

In verse 29, it talks about leaving home, brothers, sisters, mothers, Father or children or fields for the sake of the gospel. and in verse 30.

It talks about receiving back 100 times of the same matter:  homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields. And the key phrase here used is : IN THIS PRESENT AGE, meaning now not in Heaven.

What is receiving 100 times or 100 fold of "Homes, mother, FIELDS, etc? Isn't that God prospering the believer? Prosperity from Bible definition to me means to "Thrive" from previous state. It's not talking about receiving 100 new houses or fields, isn't it? but what is 100 fold Home or Field? If you say it's spiritual prosperity, how is it applicable to Fields?

Would appreciate your answer.

Bible is to be read as a whole not bit and pieces.

Does your bible has 1 Peter? You may want to read the 1st chapter if it is available in your bible.

Whatever you have been quoting has been answered by many forumers.

"The Law was the devil's weaponry."
