Please do not tell me “Equal” because I see the poor countries and people are getting poorer and the rich people and countries are getting richer. Even though the poor are the more devoted Christians. For example if you give a dollar for a poor he will say “God bless you” if you give a million for rich he will say, “I will see for dinner”

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God
Ever hear this saying? Well, I really believe, in the end, the poor and good hearted will prosper. This whole world is a test of God....and although it may seen to me and you that being successful on earth means having money, we will probably find out in the end, we had it all wrong:)

In the Beatitudes,Jesus says, 'Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours' (Luke 6:20). Jesus later states, 'But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your compensation. But woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry' (Luke 6:24-25).
Throughout the New Testament Jesus speaks of the rich already having their reward here on Earth, while the poor will be first in Heaven. So, I think God listens to and blesses the poor more in the end.

Well just to clear things up a little(no offense intended, because I use to view it the same way) If Donald Trump was to die tonight of a heart attack (hypothetically speaking) and lived only for himself and not for GOD in any way.And wound up in hell,Do you suppose he could honestly say "well I have lived awesomely for the years I spent on earth,so now I can tolerate intense misery,pain and torment for eternity." I highly doubt anyone will.Remember - Nothing but death is certain. And when the inevitable does happen so will a reversal of rolls.God revealed to me - It's a little now or a lot later.You see this plane of existence isn't for keeping up with the Jone's as commonly thought.It is for spiritual development.Either we get ourselves prepared or when the bridegroom comes we will have no oil for our lamps and the doors will be shut. The choice is up to us. Take care and may GOD bless you.

Have a look at the site link below. If you can get hold of the dvd, it will change the way you view life. Rich and poor included and how they came to get there.

Theologically this is called the "Deum Urinatum Sub Fluide" principle, or God's "Trickle-Down" theory.
It states that those who do God's work are blessed with great assets in oil, family connections, exemption from military service, and the occasional mega-church.
The rest of the population, which is generally financing those blessed by God, are then free to build character through privation.
Yes, this is the best of all possible worlds.

God listens most to those who talk to Him most. Are you familiar with the story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16?

He answers the poor, but the Rich just keeps taking it.

It's not whether you are rich or poor, but what you do with the life given you and your available resources (money, friends, family, job, etc.). So, God does listen to all...

God allows the rich to prosper, no matter how ill-gotten their wealth. God allows the poor to suffer, no matter how good they are morally.

you will be begin to hate god if you continue to try to give your spiritual truths human characteristics.
god "listens" to no one. when we pray, we clarify our goals, and hopefully in doing so, get a clearer picture of what we can do to achieve those goals, and what is really important. to me, praying is more like meditating on words, problems, meanings, etc. - the answers come from god in the form of a clearer mind, more able to understand our world.
