Why do you think that? He said how hard will it be for a rich man to get in to heaven. He said you cannot serve both God and money. He said for what ever you do for one of these...(grasping mercy, compassion, and help) Matthew 25:31-46. Do not store up for yourself treasures on earth. Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head. If you want more ask me. Deny this life and this life is the very acknowledgement and gain of materials through the use of money. In all his parables he speaks as it is going to be a time of judgement in which your judged for doing good or bad things for whatever reasons. When did he say work was pointless? If we do not do things with time given then how are we to be judged for things we did. Why did you come to that conclusion despite the evidence, why did you reason against the bible despite what it truly says? Tell me what you think is good and tell me what influenced you be it whatever you please.
Old things need to be considered, your choice. The false dichotomy conclusion is wrong because Christianity is a belief and rest on principles, one which being "poor" is a goal and thus what else can be compared to this, what i can see naturally in people as the desire for things and their justification and satisfaction in them but what else is there that you can bring up to rebuttal but another belief like mine so as to prove more positions. It was one reason to believe not the sole reason and because of this exact reason i find Christianity more fascinating and true.
And this post was not even to you but to the acknowledgement of a quote that showed faith in Christianity is evil because it condemns people who wish not to have faith or can not because of justification or they just cant. And thus the rest of the post was reasoning to have faith.
