WoodScientistRich people go to Hell. You don’t get to go to Heaven if you’re a billionaire. Sorry. But if you hoard enough wealth to live a thousand lifetimes, then you have received your reward.
So many Christians just can’t accept that Jesus was a poor person that believed rich people all go to Hell.
If only Hell existed and if only it all wasn’t a ruse to placate people in to accepting their poor lot in life so the rich can continue to not be eaten by the poor.

Mark 9:43
If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands and to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire
Metaphor, allegory, analogy. Matthew 13:10 otherwise you could end up in prison, dead, or exiled. Oh look, we've come full circle.
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 13:11-16 - Jubilee Bible 2000
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it is not given. For whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have in abundance; but whosoever has not, from him shall be taken away even that which he has. Therefore, I speak to them in parables because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see and shall not perceive; for this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and should understand with their heart and should be converted, and I should heal them.
