How can Christians who are rich, who rule and make people slaves can be called in reality christians?

Question

In the old testament it is crystal clear that God fought for the slaves and he resuced them from the bonadage of parohas of Egypt. Then time again, until Jesus was born, God proclaimed that he does not like people to be rich and rulers. The idea behind God's wisdom is that on this earth which belonged to God nobody can enjoy its fruits more than another. Means all earthizens should be equal in all respects. Then how the rich and the rulers in the Christian faith can justify their membership in Church.

Answer 1

The idea of religion is the domination of many by a few.
To legitimate Kings and emperors, to legitimate slavery , to legitimate maintaining the masses in ignorance and to make sure they accept their miserable life without complaining by promising a better one after this one.

Answer 2

I agree that anyone who would treat others as slaves are not right in their hearts.
and God was working during a time when there were slaves, but he also works in the same way today, those that are downcast by the world are lifted up by him.. God loves all his children , He created ALL of us, and just like we as humans have children that we are sometimes disappointed in, so is God not pleased with his children that act so high and mighty with their wealth.
But I seen many people who are wealthy who are kind and very compassionate, and I have seen those who are poor that are stingy have no compassion for those in the same boat as they.

There is not anything wrong with being rich, it's all in how your heart is.. The Bible plainly feels us that God looks at the heart.
Even a person who is not rich can have the attitude of a rich man.
If you see someone in need and you have something that could help them , and you hide it back, then you have the same heart as one who is rich and dose not give where it is needed..
God is the one who blesses those who are rich to have those riches.

I guess u are reading the Marxists version of the Bible!
where does God not want people to be rich and rule? Instead of clinging to your preconcieved philosophy of socialism and wealth redestribution perhaps you sould read the Bible! What about Abraham he had 300 trained servants and was extremely wealthy and he was called the friend of God, Job was so wealthy that he was called the greatest man of the east and he had trained servants also, after his attack from satan God gave him DOUBLE he ever had! what about david the king? He was so wealthy he gave a one time offering of over 20 million dollars in todays equivalant. And what about King Solomon? He was a ruler and God made him the richest man to ever live!
Now the entire book of proverbs discounts your socialist marxist communist belief. It declared people were blessed in abundance because of the right choices made and that others walked in poverty and lack because of their poor choices! No where did it say we all got to have only same amount of wealth! that is total communism and hey dude wake up its a proven fact the commie crap never works! You are a dangerous man and in danger because God said in Revelation not to take away or add to His Book and you are doing just that! You are a communist marxist socialist and that is what is truly contrary to the word of God, like paul the apostle said he that does not work does not eat! How can you then call yourself a christian?

Answer 4

i beg your pardon! sir, i am not rich i barely make enough money to pay for the food i eat. at any given month i could be homeless and out of a job. any given day something evil could happen and im out of a job and looking for more ways to get an income.

in all of history those that are industrious become rich slowly, ONLY the wicked and criminal seem to OWN more richess than everyone else. wickedness in high places has always been the corruptions of religion and government. i dont think anyone or any religion is excluded.
christians are not the enemies, unless like sheep they follow their leaders in government because they SEE Great evil done by the enemies of God in the name of God
in fact there are Secret societies that make satanic covenants for power and wealth, but I wouldnt call anyof them christian. ONLY wovles in sheeps clothing.

Answer 5

I do not believe that God is against rich people, nor does He want all people to have the same amount of money.
The most important thing is how you handle being rich or poor.
is he thankfull if he has money, or become more greedy?
Does he help others with his money, or try to collect as much money as possible, even from the poor people?
If he does not have money, does he accept it and try to be better by working hard or does he go and steel from the rich people.

Answer 6

because every single person in the world has faults and every single person in the world sins. and even if God does consider being rich a sin (which I personally think you're misinterpreting, but that's another matter), well he also knows your sins and my sins and the sins of all the poor people. And God accepts everybody, especially the dirtiest, most unworthy, into His family. Even the murderers and the rapists and the child molesters have a place in God's heart and He would welcome even them into His church if they wanted in.

Answer 7

What about David and Solomon. You haven't made even a single truthful or biblical statement. God NEVER promised eqaulity in the fruits of life. Where did you dig that one up?

Answer 8

It is not noble to be poor. Nor is it wrong to be rich. All men are not created equal, some are stronger, faster or smarter. Thats reality.

Answer 9

They have changed the way People think in general... So... some will consider your Question nonsense... I'm not a Christian, so, I can't answer your question...
