Why Christ Jesus Told Not to Become Rich
You may wonder why Christ Jesus told not to become rich, since He taught that a rich man should die and go to the hell while a poor man would be welcomed in Heaven even by Abraham.
First of all, if you became rich, there would be many poor men around you. Being rich while being surrounded by many poor men is a sin. You have to give money to poor people around you, if you became rich, which is the teaching of Christ Jesus. Then, you cannot continue to be rich, since you have to give money to poor people around you and there are many poor people. Finally, you would be poor, too, like other poor men.
Secondly, there are many people who want to be rich. You have to compete with them, if you want to be rich. And to win this competition, you have to resort to cool and cold measures and you will stop having love and compassion to your enemies in the competition. You would even wish bad luck to others. You would want others to fail and get unhappy for you to take advantage over them. Then you will be disqualified for Heaven.
So, being rich means having no Christian love to neighbors and unlucky and poor people. In other word, you have to sell your soul and mind to Satan to be rich. Therefore, Christ Jesus forbade becoming rich.
In other word, Satan would promise to help you become rich, but your soul would be in the hand of Satan. Satan would finally laugh at you falling into the hell.
However, everybody wants happiness. And everybody thinks that money makes him or her happy, which is a trap set by Satan. You are brainwashed by Satan, if you believe that only money can make you happy. Indeed, Satan has set many traps to make people believe in power of money. And this society is governed and ruled by followers of Satan, so that you cannot live in peace if you do not follow the worldly rule set by Satan.
Anyway there are no such descriptions in the Bible as follows: "If you want to be saved, earn more money" or "Jesus gave money to the poor to save them."
The power of the God is stronger than money created by men with help from Satan.
