LOL no. :o) It is easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than a rich person to get into heaven. Which means we must be willing to give it all up for Jesus. You know, that would be not fun at all, but I'd do it. I really, really like my home and everything in it, but as long as I had my family and my Bible (to glean hope from the Scriptures), I would muddle through. I hope I never have to do that. I REALLY hope I never have to do that. :o)

I feel enriched in many ways, but no, being a Christian does not bring you more money. (Unless the self-discipline you learn helps you to throw less money away, but then again, you will probably feel motivated to give more to needy causes if the love of God has really touched your heart).
The New Testament condemns greed, and says the love of money is a root of all evil, and warns the rich that they will be severely judged. So for so-called Christian preachers - the television type, to preach the so-called prosperity gospel, well, that's a contradiction in terms.

When I read the bible Jesus really loved the poor... so being a christian won't make you rich. You want proof? Look around and you see that there are many people who are dirt poor and are christians. Having good financial sense (or being a mob boss) makes you rich.

i wouldn't think so because you're searching for the pot of gold. according to all things christian, you don't go looking for salvation you just open your heart until it finds you...or something like that.
also you can buy more stuff with gold than you could with Christianity.

Getting a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow is chicken feed compared to the blessings of Almighty God.

No, no. It is easy to get saved. Its difficult to find that pot of gold. God does not tell us He will make us rich.

Hi Yes I am Sure you will! Jesus Said that the road is narrow, that leads to ever lasting life. Well Life is not too valuble, it is but a breath away from ending.
All the money in the world can not save you nor will it ever make you truly happy unless you have the Lord in your heart and have been saved please read some of these links and things here> http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/<
God Bless You and Please "get Saved"!

If being a Christian made someone rich, I never would have had plaster from the ceiling falling on my head as a kid.

Thats what its all about to you isnt it gettin something on the spiritual flip side the glorious pot of gold. Being "saved" or being "cristian: doesnt make you special and it doesnt make you entitled to anything.You have some nerve to think that you are so special its absoulutly abhorrant

No, It is more like HOPING you will be rewarded at the end, the saving is like insurance for being human.
