"I don't see where you get that he was OK with accumulating wealth. This seems pretty clear" "Christian" right-wingnuts practice a truly selective form of cafeteria Christianity, picking the parts they want to follow, somehow ignoring how Jesus was ALL ABOUT caring for the poor, the sick, and the least among us, the last who would be first (In Heaven?) while dissing the wealthy. Of course, they're ALL big supporters of that special power of Jesus that allows them into Heaven after a lifetime of greed-fueled sin, forgiveness. I've even had some tell me that Jesus wasn't against war, quoting one particular passage. In my mind, if Jesus ever did return, it would be the fire this time, but just for those hypocritical "Christians"!

CJ, In short, you can't go to Heaven if you are wealthy. You are taking the "camel through the eye of the needle" verse out of context. biblegateway.com 23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” 26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Tenchusatsu
