[QUOTE="Publius, post: 61141290"] Wealth is never punished in the Bible. Poverty, on the other hand, is divided in two categories: those who are poor due to circumstances beyond their control and those who are poor as the result of sin, laziness, or irresponsibility. Any time in scripture we see a command to help the poor, it's always in reference to that first category, while the second category is always rebuked. In fact, the Bible even says in 2 Thess 3:10 that we are [I]not[/I] to help them. [/QUOTE]
