You shall walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.
Deuteronomy 5:33

God, Moses, David, and Solomon all said that keeping #torah (God's Law) brings peace and prosperity, but how? Answer: Torah is a how-to manual for love. If you can learn to love as God defines it, then everything else will fall into place.

Another question: What kind of twisted theology says that trying to follow God's instructions does more harm than good? Or even more perversely, that obeying God's commandments is a sin!?

Answer: A theology of hatred for both God and man. God is love. His Law is love. Anyone who tries to keep you from keeping God's Law is being hateful toward you.
