I already addressed this.

They did not condemn luxury completely.

Of course they did when it was being used to exploit the poor. However, as I said God also blesses with plenty. Other Scriptures can be cited supporting this.

You seem to be missing the point.

To: what's up
Well, the condemnation didn't just extend to those who *exploited* the poor. It extended also to those who simply *ignored* them. To keep your grip on luxuries in the face of so many who lack necessities, is to have a grip that puts your soul in mortal danger.

I look to myself on that one. It's a hard examination of conscience, one which I am not comfortable about at all.
