Do you consider Bill Gates a true Christian because He almost has 90 billion dollars in net worth? (Page 2)

Question

People often call Bill Gates greedy for having all that money etc.  And it isn't a Christian virtue to be insanely rich. As far as I'm concerned he worked hard for his money and he does help by giving back a lot.  Besides, Job was a godly man and was the original Bill Gates of the Ancient world. And King Solomon was super rich too which the lord blessed him with. Do you think Bill Gates is a greedy man? What are your thoughts?  Mark:10:17-27: Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother." And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.” Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack:  Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!”  And the disciples were astonished at His words.  But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!  It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

I have no idea if Bill Gates is greedy or not. It's not a sin to have great wealth. It is a sin to hoard it. It's a sin not to help others with it. As far as I know, Bill Gates has done a lot of good things with his money.

As he looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. [2] He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. [3] "I tell you the truth," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. [4] All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."

It doesn't matter what your wealth status is in life. What matters is how much you're willing to give up for others.

I suggest you to speak with full knowledge. No one are going to bare to see a useless idiot who won't earn a single penny commenting on the world's richest person since decades. Bill gates children will get only $10 million each and all his money belongs to charity. I didn't even read the text below. Because I got things to do. Better to spend time on something useful. DON'T SPEAK ABOUT BILL GATES. His IQ is one of the world's greatest. I call you proud and no sense at all.

I don't know Bill Gates, and since I am not Bill Gates, I don't know his standing with God. Therefore it isn't my place to judge.
