The verses make it sound as if Christians should give all their extra belongings away. Jesus said that if you have two coats, give one away. Is it really following Jesus to give away a substantial amount to charity if you still have more than you need to survive? I honestly don't know how someone  can be wealthy and still claim that they follow Jesus.


A few Christians might follow what Jesus taught but most seem to ignore him for Paul. 

When God blesses someone with wealth and they us it as He directs, then they are doing His will, God can bless anyone He desires too. Those who are faithful with the responsibility of wealth may get to enjoy some of it because they understand the wealth came because of God.

But again, how do they allow themselves to keep the excess?  Jesus gave instructions as to how his followers should treat their wealth. They  should give it away. It sounds as if Jesus expected people to just keep enough for survival.

Even if I believed that your god gave certain people wealth, it still doesn't change the fact that his son left his followers instructions on how to treat their excess food,clothing and wealth.

This is from Luke 3:11

He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
