The poor man did not follow Christ when asked to give up his wealth and follow Him

What poor man?
Different story. There are also stories of wealthy, and faithful people in the Bible. And numerous examples in modern-day life; both in the news, and among those we know.
The “blessed are the poor” quote grates on me when it is cut short like you did. The same with the “money is the root of all evil” quote when it picks up mid-sentence. (Leaving off the “Love of money...”)
