it isn't wrong to be rich, but it is wrong to love money. the bible’s consistent message on managing money is to be wise
we are to be wise with our money. we are to save money, but not hoard it. we are to spend money, but with discretion and control. we are to give back to the lord, joyfully and sacrificially. we are to use our money to help others, but with discernment and the guidance of God’s spirit

Did not God give out Kingdoms? I don't think he really cares about money whats he need it for. He sure don't care if you have bucket loads. It says in the bible to give 10% of your profits which he raise your earnings, so in the end he gives more then you do. But since I read only a little bit of the bible, not sure were it says this just here say.
How you get it, How you spend it, if your hurting yourself or others with or from it. He might care a little don't you think?
Dam 3 times you guys talk about the dam camel. He's not saying he don't want you rich he saying it will be harder to give up your stuff if you have more then less if he calls on you. So if you have the balls then get rich but remember if you love God he might ask you to sell everything and do his needs, like go to another country and save some souls or what ever he sees fit and spend that money you earned on some other people that need it.
So go ahead make you money he don't care as long as he comes first.

Yes, it's alright to be rich. I just shouldn't be our goal in life. Our primary goal should be to make it to heaven. What is the benefit of being rich in this life, if you just end up by going to hell? Would it really be worth it?
Luke 9:25 'For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?' The answer to that question is: nothing. If we are rich in this life, but then found to not be rich toward God, then our whole life has meant nothing.

If the christian god is against being rich, then why are there so many rich preachers? Every one of them on TV is begging for money - all of it to be used for their ministry, of course. But they all seem to have great houses, travel a lot, get driven around in expensive cars...
If you want to make people believe that it goes to the ministry, they should drive themselves everywhere in a 10 year old Ford.

Well, since God does not exist, you do not have to worry about what he thinks... so lets take that fictional being out of the equation.
If you get rich by being successful in business, conservatives will respect you while liberals will despise you.
If you get rich by acting, singing, or any other similar field in Hollywood, liberals will worship you while conservatives will likely not give a hoot so long as you keep your mouth out of politics.
There you have it.... the truth about being rich.

I would suggest that the road to riches might begin in your case with a more complete knowledge of the English language.

"I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, 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."
Matthew 19:24
You heard it here first, people: George W. Bush is not, by his own belief, going to heaven.

you would be assured that it incredibly is all staggering to be wealthy. it incredibly is what you do with the riches, that concerns. examine the Bible, there is plenty on the project, which will make it clean to you. the wealthy and the properly off, are consistently asked to grant to all styles of coses, they frequently have a charity they make contributions to. you will see that many Hospitals have wings that are equipped from donations from the Philanthropist. you would be widely used of the bill and Melissa Gates beginning that helps out in Africa. All prosperity comes from God, and you're one among his toddlers, examine the Bible and get to recognize your God the daddy greater suited
