SO then why does Jesus warn us about being rich and not getting into heaven
Matthew 19:24
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
Now he does tell us to lay up our treasure in heaven he actually commands us not to lay up on earth because its stupid because they (treasures) will be destroyed, he tells us to lay them in heaven where they will last for ever. So you see treasure on earth is nothing like treasures in heaven. Same word different meaning !!!
AGAIN JESUS COMMANDS US NOT to LAY UP TREASURES ON EARTH !!!
Matthew 6:19
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,
Matthew 6:20
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
is is not dump to store up treasure where it will be destroyed on earth.
In the below verbage Rich has nothing to do with earthly rich at all !!!!!!
2 Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
All Jesus apostles gave up everything to follow him, yet they were rich !!!
