RR,
No doubt the poor are without faith or else they would be wealthy like you.
I do wonder why Jesus would tell the Rich Young Ruler give everything he
had to losers.
Matthew 19:16-22
New King James Version (NKJV)
Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler
16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, "Good Teacher, what good thing
shall I do that I may have eternal life?"
17 So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One,
that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
18 He said to Him, "Which ones?" Jesus said, "'You shall not murder,'
'You shall not commit adultery,' 'You shall not steal,' 'You shall not
bear false witness,'
19 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.' "
20 The young man said to Him, "All these things I have kept from my
youth. What do I still lack?"
21*Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have
and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come,
follow Me."*
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for
he had great possessions.

they were short changed in life and are envious of those who have more
