What is God's attitude toward money? SE
from Bible Heresies and Orthodoxies · host Michael Robison
One of the enduring controversies in Christianity is God’s attitude toward possessions and wealth in particular. Does God hate rich people? Some try to make that case, but what does the word of God say about people with money? Atheists say that the Bible is contradictory on money and wealth, but are they right? Some say God condemns the wealthy as being unable to get into heaven, but does he? Tonight we will examine the mystery of how God feels about money. We will look at three men with different relationships to money. One who was rich, one who would commit blasphemies to get money and fame and one who was a slave, but not in the way you might think. The myths and dogmas about money are many, but we will shatter many beliefs with what God himself says about that most controversial of gifts, riches. And what do we know of the redeemer himself? Was he rich or was he poor? Christian dogma will tell us Yeshua was a pauper, but the Bible hints that he may not have been as destitute as people believe. Could Yeshua have grown up rich? Tonight's SE episode will delve into these and other questions about the relationship between God and money. Music by Alexi Action from Pixabay
