Does Being Rich Make You Less of a Christian?

No, not necessarily. You can be loved and rich as a Christian.

Riches don’t mean you’re righteous or unrighteous. They simply are rewarded to the person who works. So, a drug dealer who works, gets rich. It’s not good money, but they get rich. They get bombshell girlfriends. They get lots of power. And they continue until they’re old—most of them, unless they ticked off higher powers than themselves—and they die old men and living like kings.

You also have the lowest poor, who steal, rob, rape, murder, will be in and out of prison, will oppress other homeless people, will cause all sorts of harm on themselves and society. And there’s lots and lots of poor people just like this.

And you also have rich men, who give fortunes to the poor, and build schools and hospitals and charities, and do all sorts of great feats of wonders for the world. They do so many wonderful things, build projects in the ghettos, supply clean water to isolated villages, lift MILLIONS OUT OF POVERTY. They actively make the world a better place.

And you also have righteous people who are homeless, persecuted, have sores on them, many mental illnesses and many diseases, and can’t get up, and are scum of the earth.

What’s to understand, is you can’t buy a stairway to heaven. That poor person who can do nothing for anyone but himself, but rather lives righteously, is just as pleasing in God’s eyes as the Billionaire who does great feats of wonderful charity for all. This is why you can’t earn salvation, because then the rich would be at an advantage, and the poor not. So… that’s why Jesus praised the widow giving in her two mites. It wasn’t out of spite that she did that, either… some people say it was a spiteful ritual. No… she gave in freewill and faith, and it was all she had. And the Pharisees were scorning her for giving what she could. But, she couldn’t give anymore, and they thought due to their riches, God showered them with favor, and that their tithing of mint and dill and cummin was better than the Widow’s. That’s not true.
