its kinda like play now pay later mind set. but inorder to have the fruits of life it takes money. you can not eat w/ out money. sure you can plant and grow your own food. how you going to get the seeds ? how you going to get to the market to sell your goods ? takes money to make money. takes money to live.

A non-christian rich person is Generally continuously hunting for themselves and their happiness and they believe they will find it with "more money."  Always seeking more, always working to obtain more and never being satisfied with what they already have.\n\nThe poor Christian already knows who they are in Christ and thus has over flowing joy from within.  They are content with whatever it is God my bless them with and realize that no matter how much/little they have, it is still a blessing of God.\n\nAs for as the activities, personalities and interests...\nThose are unique to each individual person and any type of generalization would simply be that... An extreme generalization.

Nothing, people put too much emphasis on money. It gives them an excuse to accept their life isn't perfect.

Because Rich people always want everything and can just go out and buy it, no having to question how it will effect them, and poor people always appreciate what they have because they have to work so hard to get it. I know I was happier when I was a single mom making squat. Now it just seems that I have $$ and can have more things easier and it doesn't seem to be as much a a thrill to get things.

Of course, it doesn't matter what those people think (you know that). Our society puts big-money earners at the top of the social pile. Jesus said "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven." You don't have to believe in Jesus to agree. Learning to be honest and decent, pulling your weight and helping your fellow man, being kind and loving, and forgiving - those are the things that count. Feel sorry for people who worship money.

In the bible it says its harder for a rich man to enter heaven than a poor man.  But i think if you are faithful to the Lord he will provide you with the desires of your heart.  God Bless!!

Because they are greedy and they will never have enough. God gives you what you need not what you want. They should be happy with that!!

because money has the mechanism of wanting more, and if u get a million you will need another million and goes on

When you are talking financial struggle you are talking about earthly goods. We make our own noose around our necks by thinking that we can have what we want when we want it and then the credit card bills arrive. Jesus said "accept ye become as little children, ye shall not enter the Kingdom of heaven" He was talking about childlike faith in Him. He also said "do not pile up things here on earth where moth and rust doth corrupt, rather look to the treasures that you can gather in heaven. You are being taught a lesson, perhaps the hard way, but you have already realised that earthly goods will bring you to your knees financially. God isn't giving you the trials friend, you have created the trials yourselves. Don't become hopeless, become faithful instead. Ask Him for His help and mean it!\nTip: cut up the credit cards!

The only true way to be a rich person is to be content!! If one is never content with what the have, no matter how much they make, they can never beome a rich person but a greedy person!\n\nRemember, the man who couldn't stop complaining that he didn't have any shoes until he saw another man with no feet!!

how can they when they are expected to give 10% of their life savings every time they go to church. You can bet GOD is not seeing this money and where is brother art thou taking his family on vacation?

First, this is in answer to a specific question regarding the heart of the rich person.  Jesus told him to sell everything he had and follow Jesus.  Jesus said this because He knew the young man's heart was with his riches.  \n\nSecond, they  'eye of the needle' was an opening in the outer defensive wall of Jerusalem.  When the main gates were closed, to enter the city, a camel had to be unpacked and led through the opening on it's knees.  Difficult, but not impossible.\n\nThird, over 99 per cent of the people living in the United States are in the top 5 per cent of wealth when considered world wide.

I think that people, men and women, become rich, because they have worked very hard and they deserve it! Whereas, there are enough of them who become rich, because they have a good inheritance and they dont have to work in order to get money! Thats really unfair!

They really are getting rich, you have to give them credit for that.  \n\nSome scams are successful, and no one can really do anything about one that calls themselves a church.

Yes this is true. We could have billions of money and still want more. People always want, want, want . They never think of the third world and be grateful for what you have even if it mightn't be alot compared to what others have

And celebrities!  I hate it when rich celebrities try to guilt people into donating money.  I don't see many of them giving enough to cut into their exotic lifestyles, but they try to guilt the hard-working, laborer to part with enough money to actually cut into their means to provide a little side amusement for their family.

I think, some people really need the money and get used to that kind of life ... and others just like to be that way..\nin both ways it's really sad to see people in that situation
