Bible puts down the rich. Where would christianity be if no 'rich' person payed the bill for the last supper?

Question

A good private meal, in a large room, in
a place of business?
a rich guy even lent a tomb for Jesus.

I've read several books that mentioned the possibility of some of the women in jesus's posse being well off money-wise and they may have helped support the unworking men of the bunch. The second part of the answer seems obvious.

Answer 1

I think the Ladies paid the tab - besides making it.

Answer 2

The last supper did not take place in a restaurant. It took place in the upper room of someone's house. The bible does not say whose house, but many scholars believe it may have been the home of Mark. Mark was not one of the twelve disciples, but followers of Jesus sometimes met in his home, and he later wrote the Gospel that bears his name.

At least that's how the story goes.

There are thousands of contradicitons in the bible. If you wish to pint one out, choose one that holds up to examination.

Answer 3

christianity puts down the "rich" meaning in hebrew one who loves wealth. the love of money/gain is the root of all evil. the Bible never metions the last super, and joseph of arimithea gave the tomb to him as a gift, for he was a follower. the church makes more money off of small contributions from those who can't afford it then from big contributions from those who won't even remeber giving it to the church. rich people have never 'payed the bill' the church has gotten on from contributions from those who have small amounts and give, not those who have to much and hardly ever give!

Answer 4

The Bible does not put down the rich. It puts down greed. In the Old Testament David was a rich king who had many misfortunes. He was not punished because he was rich, he was punished because of his abuse of power that his riches brought him.

Answer 5

Bible can say whatever you want it to say. The kingdom gospel is about a kingdom. That sounds pretty rich to me. On the other hand, sitting in "sackcloth and ashes" sounds like the kingdom was lost somewhere along the way... but oddly enough, one lead to the other.

Answer 6

The Bible does not "put down" the rich.
Jesus speaks often of what are your priorities. Money or God.
Having God as a priority does not relegate one to financial deprivation. But definitely placing priority on money is likely to secure spiritual depravity.

Answer 7

Nobody paid the bill for the last supper, Jesus supplied it silly.

Answer 8

Christianity makes money by making rich people feel guilty about having it. It's actually part of the standard emotional manipulation that Christianity, and other religions, use to get and gain converts. If you can get someone to worry that he has too much money, it is easier to get him into your church and drop more of it.

This works so well, it can even get poor people to part with their money.

Answer 9

Wasn't it supposed to be a humble meal?

Answer 10

Where is that found in the bible or is that just supposition
