Personal earthly wealth should be a secondary thing, always viewed as a tool and not as a cushion of fundamental comfort. Amassing gold Mercedeses and the like as a demonstration of “look what God can do” is a spiritually risky thing. (Though God has done things like that before. Check out Solomon’s reign in the Old Testament.) Absolutely verboten, no. And the Good Book says that the rich should be generous. Hand-up programs are better in that regard than hand-out programs.


that’s alot of opinions there. No scriptures to back it up.
Nothing in the Bible says Christians shouldn’t have good things it does talk about making those things ones idol being bad. Having money doesnt mean one loves money but if you love money so much it becomes ones God that is the sin.

I’ve asked this before and I’ll ask it again, how do you know these preachers don’t engage in charity to the poor?

Are you saying none of this is supported by the bible?

You are being either picky or ignorant if you are.
