Do you believe the bible that the religious become the top guy / girl?

For decades I’ve been hated by my dads side of the family and half my moms side for being the poor one with no graduate degree, I was considered a disgrace cause I lived off my parents and made very little of my own money but if my plan works, I will be the highest earning person in my family soon, and I have cousins who employ over 50 people at their business and aunts who own law firms and uncles who make $300 an hour at two different jobs and I’m not even smart, the only thing that makes me unique is I always have amazing luck.

The bible said Blessed are the poor in spirit and Blessed are the meek and humble.

People who have morals and maintain a lifestyle with morals might have it hard for a long time but eventually success will come to them. I believe that firmly.

I've been trying to sow positive energy, great friendships, great business connections and great memories all my life. Eventually I'll reap from it all. One day.

No, and more than that I can see that is not true. I've been around happy prosperous non-religious people my entire life. Misfortune falls on the devout and the skeptical alike, but mostly on the poor.

I guess if by religious you mean “religious” in the sense of the Pharasees, sure. They were highly trained, very observant of detailed religious rubrics, and were “top” people. That said, Jesus preferred the example of the poor widow who was not well schooled in religion but was genuinely generous.

[Adronicus]

I seem to recall Jesus's stance on the money lenders, did he not whip them with a cat of 9 tails & over turn their tables? If he was alive today I am curious as to how he would feel / treat the "hoggers" of the world who have too much & don't give back?

He was murdered for turning tables. The same way people get murdered for speaking up today, even over the internet.

@Guy__ ooh, scary..
#sarcasm

[Adronicus]

@Guy__ no idea what you're talking about, no one writes for me. You sure everything ok? May want to see doc & have those meds adjusted, I'm concerned about your mental well being.

[GreatnessBack]

I don't understand. Do you mean if people only see the religious person as being the best, over the person being actually a good person and/or rich?
If so, then that's just dumb. I grew up in churches and I don't like the people. Some, not all, church people are worse than how bad atheist are supposed to be.
Also, religion has been the excuse of major genocides in human history. I say excuse because those people would do those atrocities anyway, they just needed an excuse.

No such thing as luck it's favor. If you believe in yourself them get in there soldier. Don't worry about what others think. Simply ask God what to do next. It'll cut month, years, and centuries off of your journey to accomplish what you want. Goodluck and God's speed.

Thing about that you'll do with your power after you get it. The responsibility can kill you if you are unprepared just sayin😅

[WhitneySnow]

I don’t know. Sometimes it seems to happen and sometimes it doesn’t. I think the phrase “The meek shall inherit the kingdom of Heaven” refers literally to Heaven, not Earth. But maybe your amazing luck is a gift from God.

[Whatever2929292]

Being judgmental especially over stuff like this is NOT Christian I can tell you that. I am sorry they act that way. There is nothing wrong with you.

[BCRanger10]

Yeah, but that doesn't always mean from a material standpoint.

[FunkyMonkee]

No. Just do your best and don't worry about what's been said in some ancient book.

[Hulk30]
