. Neither God nor Christ will help you if you have the misfortune to be born into or acquire wealth. You have probably “bought the farm” if you refuse to give up your wealth to the prisoner, diseased, drunken drugged adulterers and deprive your innocent siblings, wife and children of their basic needs. Christ said it was easier to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven after he had observed the young virtuous rich man go away sorrowing, Christ interpreted the young man's actions as an abnormal love of money when maybe it was sorrow about his having to impoverish his family.

THAT, i must honestly say, is an ignorant miscontruance of what the Lord and the Bible taught.

Jesus never said simply having riches was wrong or damnable, and affirmed Abraham who was, but stated the fact that it is hard for the rich to be saved, because it typically gives them a false sense of security, that thrt they need not God, and also tends to result in selfishness due to making wealth their God.

In addition, the Bible nowhere rewarding indolence and neglect of real familial needs or promotes a welfare state and the liberal victim-entitlement mentality and instead reveals that as being from Hell (see post 142 above).

And instead, those whom Christ held were truly afflicted such as being blind, one who will not provide for his own is worse than an infidel.

But yes, "broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat," (Matthew 7:13) as men love sin, and some even engage creating a straw man God of the Bible in order to justify their rejection of Him. "6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)" (Psalms 49:6-8)
