Do you think rich people will be punished for greed or do you think they would be rewarded?

By heaven I mean the alternative to hell that some people believe as the afterlife.
I am just so confused about our country - a capitalist society only encourages greed - but as our RICH president will not let anyone forget, we are "One nation under GOD".
It makes me sick to think about all the pain in the world and how hard it is for so many people, and Oprah thinks she's all ok because she built a school in Africa.
Something really confusing to me are the moral implications of the Lottery Scholarship in the state where I Iive. It pays for the education of people who barely earned the right to go to college in the first place. Yet someone with excellent grades and good test scores gets less than he/she would have before due to that lottery "scholarship". All funded by gambling to give the hope to make more money in the future through education.

There is no need for money in heaven.

There will be no money in heaven as you cannot serve two masters. When we get to heaven there will be only reward and no punishment. As children of the King of Kings, we will have everything our hearts desire and things we never knew we wanted as well. Being rich or poor here on earth does not figure in God's economy. Either you are saved or you are not. Only those who have asked Jesus to be in their hearts will even be in heaven. hope this helps.

No money in heaven...only for invisible spirit creatures
Bible warns it will almost be impossible for the rich to inherit the Kingdom of the Heavens.
But anyone who brings their lives into harmony with God's will will be saved.
Those calling on the name of Jehovah will get away safe.

The concept of heaven is an innumerable group of like-minded souls loving God and each other. There would be no room for greed nor use for money.

there is no money in heaven people will get their rewards for the people that they save here on earth. I think rich people will be punished for being greedy and they will not be rewarded. Only those who are saved and ask god for forgiveness will be rewarded

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven..

The rich will be punished with rare exceptions. The Word of God is filled with cautions to the rich to be just.

Greed is not a good moral value by any standard, and only leads to self destruction

"Do not store up treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroys, and thieves steal. Instead, store up treasures in Heaven..." Yup. Sounds like there is. And poor people here are likely to be rich there, and vise-versa.

No. There is no more material things in Heaven. No more hunger and pain too. It's pure joy there.
