Then I guess all those people that came to Jesus blind, and lame, and sick, and on behalf of people who were DEAD, were just not as "holy and righteous" as you, huh?

Hogwash. You don't understand Him as well as you think you do. He never bashed them for seeking PHYSICAL healing, and He never bashes people for seeking to be taken care of materially. Yes, I have spiritual healing eternally, and my heart is so changed on things (sins I thought would NEVER leave), and I rejoice in that. And I also rejoice in all the material blessings I've received, and I'm not going to denouce the Lord for healing and blessing people (ME). Instead, I'LL PRAISE HIM! :)

He never bashes people for seeking to be taken care of materially

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

His promise however -

Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Thank you for your unfounded judgement.

You're still blurring the lines between physical health and material blessings. You're equating the two. Please don't.

We are told over and over again to store up treasures in heaven, and not here on earth; to look towards heaven as our goal, not anything here; that we are simply travelers here, and are not to yolk ourselves with worldly things. To cling to Him, not material things. You just simply don't have a scriptural leg to stand on.

You seem to forget His conversation with the rich young man.

Is modesty one of them?

His grace is sufficient. He promised to meet our needs, not grant us our desires.
