No, but the only ways to get rich are a sin (usury, gambling, stealing)

no but being attached to the luxury materialism has to offer will "make it harder than passing a camel through the eye of a needle"
eschew worldly gain--cultivate a higher meaning.
Levi Reed
Every Christian I've ever asked says this only applies to people richer than they are. It's a shame because Christianity as described in the Bible is pretty based, but I've never met a group that actually practises it.
Ryan Sullivan
Jesus literally said something about passing a camel through the ear of the needle being easier than a rich man entering paradise.
tl;dr yes, and a pretty severe one
Luke Davis
I absolutely agree with you.
My church is in the forest.
Today's "Church" is a corrupt falsehood, intent on fostering a nescience of spirit, and dependence on "Authority"
I'll do my best to act in the Will of God on my own...With my God-Given brains and spirit.

new shill PsyOps to "get the children rich," okay, yeah, submit to the jews goyim, forget about RON PAUL
c-c-combo'd with Rosicrucian PsyOps to get children to think about Jesus like we're living in fucking Uganda
>no it's not uganda children get rich

You are only rich when you are richer than the average christian living around you.
That means it's mostly about avoiding poverty/giving to the poor.
The person hoarding wealth goes to hell.
Mason Martin
Jesus is king and he commands us to survive, procreate, spread the word, and build and defend God's kingdom.
If acquiring wealth needs to be a means to those ends then so be it. Otherwise doing anything that doesn't aim at these things is sin.
Benjamin Thompson
Where's God's kingdom? In fucking Timbuktu?
Henry Sanchez
You cannot serve two masters. You either worship God and Jesus or worship Mammon and materialism. Eschew your Demon worship and embrace Christ, sell your excess possessions and life a simple pious life.

The Amish are the only Christians in America. They are the only ones who actually practice what the bible and Jesus teach.
Juan Ortiz
i literally read this as "you cannot serve to muensters"
Christian Taylor
ok i realize QAnon knocked out all the evangies and they're wearing viking hats now, which is good, at least, but I'm seriously, this is ((CIA)) PsyOps trying to get kids interested in a kamikazee economy
Nathaniel Sanders
Yes
People will cope and say he didn't really mean it or that he only meant the very rich
Jesus said to give and give and give as much as you can
He walked with poor people and homeless and sinners and prostitutes not rich people
Wealthy people will go to hell, 100%
Jose Morris
no, being rich and allowing wealth to become your God is a sin.
You can do a lot of good with money, you can help your family, your children, secure their future, help secure the future of the white race, etc.
Aaron Wright
it was the "eye of a needle" and it was a reference to a very small passage by that name into the city. The only way for the camel to enter was for the owner to remove all of the load, bags, and merchendise of the camel before attempting to enter said gate.
In short the message was this;
you must leave it all behind for you to enter
Jordan Cook
more specifically it is that attachment to sin, or more aptly attachment to creation rather than the Creator Himself, is what prevents someone from choosing God over other things
Tyler Perry
Partaking in Earthly desires is a sin.
Levi Gray
yup, it's perfectly consistent with the idea of having no God's before the most holy. Money becomes the God for many; don't let that happen, that's the lesson.
