will there be rich people in heaven??

Thoughts on what the bible tells us about this?

Yes, there will be a few. Most people won't make it, according to the Bible. Terry won't make it, that's a fact.

The Bible suggests that God is big on redistribution of wealth.

shut up slag.
The Bible is very against being a lazy sloth too, not taking care of or providing for your children. It is also very against stealing from others, and it says nothing about a corrupt government entity taking money from hard working people and giving it to lazy, bums, drug heads, nor dopers.

There are not going to be very many people from our generation that makes it to heaven, and I'm fairly positive that you are one that will not.

Obama wants to also.

That's okay. But I hope you'll tell Jesus that we had this little chat once you get there.

Jesus will not be amused.

Yeah, there will be rich people there. And Southern Baptists, too.

And both groups of folks will be MIGHTY disappointed, once they realize they aren't alone.

Will there be gangsters there?

Lazy people that have sat home with their hand out, waiting for their monthly freebies from the taxpayers will not be there.

For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat." (2 Thessalonians 3:10 NIV)

The Bible suggests that we help out those in need. Being lazy is not considered needy. And charity is a choice that a person chooses to give from the heart, not having government step in and take you money and redistribute it to the lazy. Read more and post less!

Yes some will and happen to be some of the kindest people that started out from nothing.

Well, if there is a Heaven... I think it'll go a little something like this. "All of the one time cheaters stand to the right (We have paperwork for you to fill out, a plea of sorts) The rest of you make a line to the elevator & push the down button once inside ".... "All of the hidden white collar ciminals stand to the left" (tax evaison, theft of government benefits, corporate greed, the wealthy that didn't give their share towards charity & anyone with a Swiss bank account). "All of the codependers addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, cigarettes, caffeinne & gambling just take a seat on a cloud." "Anyone who has had sex out of wedlock, been divorced, had an abortion, got a tattoo, drove over the speed limit, been arrested, had cosmetic surgery for vanity purposes, tanned, are anorexic or obese or hasn't put in a 12 hour productive day everyday except Sunday for your entire adult life....just turn around & take the stairs to the bottom floor." I don't think wealth is going to have much to do with it:)

Matthew 19:24 New American Standard Bible (©1995)
"Again I say to you, 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."

DIFFICULT, NOT IMPOSSIBLE.

Revelation 20:10 New American Standard Bible (©1995)
And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Cathouse Mouse/Razorback Jack/Vladimir Pooten/1000 other stupid screen names in one a sshole -- IMPOSSIBLE.

I think some of you that are serious about the question are missing just what the Bible says is the REQUIREMENT for getting into heaven,and,it's not rich,poor,pretty,ugly,big shots,nobodies,etc.it is JESUS,period.Nothing else.
The scriptures do say it is harder,not impossible.Money gets in the way of a lot of things,especially God,and,it all belongs to Him anyway.Nobody would even have breath if God didn't want them to.

I'll be there. I'm a former Marine and the gates are guarded by United States Marines; they'll let me in.
