Thank you for your thoughts.This is what will happen in the world the rich can no longer tolerate the poor as the world reaches its breaking point they want to retain their wealth at the expense of the poor.It will spread to other countries and get worse and worse.There will be a huge divide.No Christianity in any of this.This is going world wide at some point the beast has been unleashed with the poor as the target.Just how ugly is that beast we will see.
The rich only give away for a tax deduction. That's it. Rich people do not think the way normal people think. Its more about power and the drive to invest and support political candidates to protect those investments.Thank you for your thoughts.
Why so much obsession with “the rich”? How much wealth they have and how they spend it is of no concern to me. Actually, many of the rich donate large amounts to charities, which I applaud. Strange, but it bothers some people that the rich might give away 50% of their annual income, but still have well-above average wealth for themselves.
My concern is more with those that want to take away our basic freedoms: equality (under the law), life, and liberty (including our freedom to worship as our faith moves us).
Blessings.

I've never met a rich Christian. I've run in their circles before. Power and money is their motivation. If your are rich and lack power, you run for or/and support a candidate of an office.People give to get?
Ok, but at least they give and can give a lot, but giving may not get them much praise from God, if for the wrong motives..
Jesus taught us to give without expectation of return, and to not just give to friends and family who can pay you back.
12 Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the [d]maimed, the lame, the blind. 14 And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
I know some rich Christians, but at what level do you define rich?I've never met a rich Christian. I've run in their circles before. Power and money is their motivation. If your are rich and lack power, you run for or/and support a candidate of an office.
A million dollars is not rich. A million a year is rich. They attend political fund raisers and give for a tax deduction, and power. Rags to riches folks are usually good folk who know where they come from, Truet Cathy for instance. Cathy's son is the second generation and does what the company needs to profit. But the 3rd generation will open Chic fil a on Sunday, because it is about profit.I know some rich Christians, but at what level do you define rich?
Christian's can be monetarily rich, but if they are not rich towards God, they are just building bigger barns for all their stuff.
Yeah, I am not the rich then!A million dollars is not rich. A million a year is rich. They attend political fund raisers and give for a tax deduction, and power.
