A Son of Abraham or a Relative of Christ Jesus

According to Christ Jesus, if a man gives half of his assets to the poorer and gives back to the other four times what he has illegally taken from him, the man would be admitted as a son of Abraham or a relative of Christ Jesus.

5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. (Luke 19)

Christ Jesus did not say that a man had to have great faith, which could not be proved or verified objectively, to be admitted as a son of Abraham or a relative of Christ Jesus.  In other words, to prove or verify that a man has great faith enough to be admitted as a son of Abraham or a relative of Christ Jesus, he has to give half of his assets to the poorer and give back to the other four times what he has illegally taken from him.

Indeed, if you say that you have greater faith than that of the Pope or any priest, there are no objective measures to prove it.  Only how you spend your money or how you earn your money can prove it.  That is why Christ Jesus did not earn money or keep or accumulate assets, for example, by becoming the King of Jews or the Emperor of Romans even in order to save the poor and the world.

In this context, rich priests or bishops, etc. are contradictory expressions.  All the followers of Christ Jesus should be poor, or, as poor as Christ Jesus.  And, it can be understood that rich men cannot be accepted in Heaven.

Therefore, you may not trust priests or bishops who live, dress, and eat richer than you.  Satan should be linked to such priests, bishops, etc. through money, assets, or riches.  So, it is no wonder even if Satan comes into the Vatican and other churches.

Put simply, men should pursue love and truth in addition to peace, justice, order, equality, and fairness instead of money, wealth, honor, and pride.  Otherwise, you cannot be admitted by Christ Jesus as a son of Abraham or a relative of Christ Jesus.

Matthew 6, King James Version
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
