Indeed those "riches" means stuff like status levels Matthew 11: 11, "He that is least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than he.", so that means some Christians in Heaven will be bosses while other servants. And also, some will have higher ranks in Heavenly army while some low ranks. Probably those gung-ho weapons wielding Christians will be sergeants and majors while those pacifist Christians will be privates. No wonder so many Christians are violent - they don't want to have low status in the Heavenly army under General Michael.
And you can forget about eternity because Matthew 24:35 says, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." I mean Christians will be spending eternity in Haven that will vanish.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
