The lessons that we come here to learn are many and varied. Some are here to learn the lessons that not enough can teach. Others are learning the lesson that to much can teach. All of these opportunities to learn are gifts to us from our loving source.
It is not what we have, but what we do with what we have that matters. The lesson we are here to learn is the lesson of unconditional love.
This lesson can only be learned by practicing the idea over and over until we finally get it right.
Too much can actually be thought of as a more difficult teacher, because there is a perception of more to loose. This creates fear and ads difficulty to the exercise.
Brother Jesus has no favorites as he does not judge. His love for us is unconditional, his lessons are complete.
Good luck on your practice.
Love and blessings

THAT IS THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS LIE I HAVE EVER HEARD !!!!!!! If you read in the bible it does sais that there was a rich man and a begger named lazarus . everyday he would sit in front of the rich mans house and ask people 4 money . everytime the rich man would walk into the gate lazarus would ask would the rich man 4 some money. every time he would say no then lazarus would ask him if he could have just the breadcrumbs off his table and the rich man said no. in the end of the story the rich man goes to hell and lazarus goes to heaven . that right there prooves that it doesnt matter if you have alot of money or not as long as you live rigt 4 God youll go 2 heaven . o and by the way God loves evry1 equally. sory so long.

Jesus loves everyone the same way. The only reason the next person has more money than you is because they're not on Yahoo! Answers answering questions and they're working their fingers to the bone doing something they can earn from.

This was too much to deal with, but I can tell you that No it is not in the Scriptures that Jesus loves anyone more. He loves us all the same, no matter what you have or what you don't have. He loves you. Don't believe all that you hear, most of it's just made up.

Or, maybe Toby sings better than you...LOL
Jesus wasn't interested in money.
He warned against materialism at Luke 12:15
"Then he said to them: “Keep YOUR eyes open and guard against every sort of covetousness, because even when a person has an abundance his life does not result from the things he possesses."
And he also said at Matthew 19:24, "Â Again I say to YOU, It is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to get into the kingdom of God"

Of course. Why would Jesus punish those he cares for the most while filling the pockets of others? And isn't America's wealth and global dominance directly associated with our standing with God?
Look at Israel ... their ability to turn away enemies is completely unrelated to the U.S. having supplied them with highly technological arms that completely out-match the foes they face ... it's solely because God loves Israel.
So yes ... Jesus loves the rich and hates the poor.

Jesus love is not measured in money,he loves all of us the same. But its easier for a poor man to enter heaven than a rich one.

What a silly thing to say! Jesus does not operate that way with the human race. He loves all equally, without regard to financial resources.

I don't know for sure Book, Chapter, and Verse, but you can find it. Look up the parable about the prodigal son. Maybe this wll be of some help to you. I sincerely hope so. Have a good day.

Toby Keith is a democrat and hates George Bush. My friend does sound for concerts and he met him and they talked for quite a while. That makes him a bit cooler in my book
He still makes crappy songs though.
