The things Jesus said about being rich always kind of scared me. And... really, the only time Jesus really lost his shyt was when greedy people were doing greedy things in the temple.
I don't think Jesus had a problem with people getting rich through honest hard work.
He had a problem with people being greedy, and getting rich through dishonest means or exploitation of others. And it's pretty typical for rich people to let it get to their head and act like they are above everything..very little humility.

I don't know. Matthew 19:23 is pretty explicit in all the different versions of the Bible.

Can kinda understand this since scientific evidence is starting to uncover some interesting things about what matter really is. Material objects may be nothing more than an illusion when all's said and done. Maybe Jesus realized this.

If they didn't give more than they needed to live he did have have a problem with the rich. I mean, it's a pretty common theme but whatever makes you feel better about it.
