Jesus had problems with wealth. Camels passing through a needles eye and so on.

Let’s concentrate on what the Founding Fathers would have felt about the horrendous state of affairs of the Keynesian Regime (Keynesian moving toward Stalinist ). They are doing 360s in their graves.

No, He had a problem with those who worshiped their possessions. However, He tells us it is more difficult for a rich man because his wealth becomes a stumbling block. Just as drugs, sex, or work does with people.

Where your treasure is, so to is your heart is what he said. So, where is your treasure?

No. Jesus had a problem with anything that you held on to tighter then you held on to Him.

Money was only one of those things.

And money did not necessarily equal wealth.
