CJ, the key point made by Jesus and the New Testament is that you can't let wealth control you.

It's not bad to actually make money, invest, and run a business. There are many references in the Bible to that.

But accumulating wealth for security, satisfaction, or status isn't a good thing because it's a clear sign that you trust money over God. This quote is clear, "You cannot serve two masters."

In any case, I get what your "logic" is. You think the Bible is more closely associated with Marxism than with capitalism simply because capitalism has no problem with those who accumulate wealth while Marxism does.
