where does it say that God is opposed to folks being rich?

He just said it's harder for a rich man to make it in the kingdom...and he did minister to the poor and so forth..but never did I see him say it was WRONG to be rich.

In fact, in the OT, there were many times he encouraged the Children of Israel to take the spoils of war for their own....sometimes he told them to leave it...

But there were rich people in the bible, he gave them land..etc.

He didnt say it was WRONG to be rich - how you live you life is what can make it WRONG>

You can be wrong making several million a year vs. 15K a year - if you are not paying your tithes and supporting the work of God and not being a provider for your family, it doesnt matter how much money you have and waste - it's wrong.

But being rich isnt wrong just like being poor isnt some badge of honor for being a child of god.
