A Sin of Being Rich
There is something no one can do. But it can be at the same time what everyone must try to achieve. So, there is something no one can do but everyone must try to achieve.
To understand there is such a thing must be a result of education.
And one of such things is a need to avoid being rich, since Christ Jesus said many things in His teaching with intention to make people abandon being rich for becoming pious.
Of course, everybody wants to be rich. Everybody will sacrifice others if he or she can be rich to any extent. But this natural desire is what Christ Jesus especially focused on.
In this context, teaching of Christ has nothing to do with Judaism. The concept that being rich is a sin is not included in Judaism. But this is a core of the teaching of Christ Jesus.
To be rich, anybody would sacrifice one person. Then that sacrificed person would sacrifice other for him or her to be rich. This sequence will be repeated endlessly. Finally people would be equipped with any ability to make others unhappy. And, all of them would follow the Devil, since the Devil would teach people the most effective way to be rich by making others unhappy. As a result, the whole society of the mankind will be governed by the Devil.
But the God stepped in. He sent Christ Jesus to the world. And, Christ Jesus preached that a man cannot serve both the God and the Devil which is money. The alternative is being holy or being rich. The final goal of a man is not becoming rich and happy but becoming poor and holy.
This is the basic teaching of Christ Jesus, though no one can perfectly follow it. But everyone must know that the basic teaching of Christ Jesus is be holy but not rich.
Though no one can be perfectly poor and holy, everyone must make full efforts to be so, since it is an order of the God and the core of teaching of Christ Jesus.
So, those smart, successful, and rich guys in big cities, such as New York and London, are all fools while they are just faithful servants of the Devil.
