What are two different teachings in christianity on wealth and poverty in the bible?
I hаνе already gοt two
Mathew 6:19-21 Don’t store riches οn earth
Matthew 14.15-21 Sharing уουr wealth wіth thе less unfortunate
Please please саn уου give mе two more different teachings frοm thе bible!
Please I аm very stuck.
Arе thеrе аnу teachings thаt wealth іѕ OK?
Thank уου soo much
It іѕ thе wіll οf God fοr еνеrу Believer tο hаνе more thаn enough tο meet thеіr needs, tο hаνе enough left over tο bless others аnd tο give іntο thе work οf thе Lord. Thе Bible teaches υѕ thаt poverty, debt, аnd lack аrе a curse, аnd thаt аѕ Christians аrе dutiful іn tithing tο thе local рlасе οf worship, sowing fiscal seeds іntο ministry, giving οf thеіr initially fruits, аnd blessing thе needy thеу wіll reap a harvest. Provision іѕ having аn adequate supply tο fulfill thе vision (destiny) God hаѕ given thе Believer, аnd prosperity іѕ anything more thаn whаt meets уουr needs.

Neither of the verses you quoted say that wealth is terrible – wealth is not terrible at all. In the Ancient Testament God blessed people with wealth all the time…
What these verses are trying to convey is that you should not live for wealth, but live for God. Don’t value your money over your family, your acquaintances, or God.

It is God who provides you power to get wealth.
Deuteronomy 8: 18.
(IN A GOOD WAY)
Beloved, "I wish above all equipment that you may prosper and be in excellent health, even as your soul prosper.
3 John 2.
Both are my favorite.
Our Father is not against us having money, just don’t make it our ‘god.’

God didn’t want us to be poor, after all if his place of worship was poor how were supposed to expand his kingdom? There are recorded entries in the Bible that shows that Jesus and His disciples were really quite wealthy. Before Jesus ruined the five loaves and the fish to feed the 5000 he questioned Judas, the treasurer if there was enough money to buy the food. Judas said no but for Jesus to even question means that there must have been a lot of money in thier treasure. There are other examples of this throughout the Bible. God satisfied many of his men with wealth, Abraham, Issac, Job, Matthew, and many others were satisfied with wealth.

These are not saying that wealth is ok but:
Mark 10:23
Luke 16:13
1 Timothy 6:17
Life a wealthy Christian is hard. Wealth is not a terrible thing, your wealth is given from God. It all is what you do with that wealth.
God is not condemning wealth but he warns of the pursuit and drive of wealth. It seems the problem Jesus had with wealth is that it corrupts the Christian mind. Unless of course you are giving that wealth away.

It is the will of God for every Believer to have more than enough to meet their needs, to have enough left over to bless others and to give into the work of the Lord. The Bible teaches us that poverty, debt, and lack are a curse, and that as Christians are dutiful in tithing to the local place of worship, sowing fiscal seeds into ministry, giving of their initially fruits, and blessing the needy they will reap a harvest. Provision is having an adequate supply to fulfill the vision (destiny) God has given the Believer, and prosperity is anything more than what meets your needs.
Scripture References: Gen. 8:22; Gen 14:20; 1 Kings 17:10-16; Neh. 10:35,37; Prov. 3:9; Lk. 6:38; 2 Cor. 9:6; Gal. 6:7; Phil. 4:10,14-19

King Solomon was the wealthiest man in the world and all his riches were given to him by God.
The Wealthy Patriarchs. Faithful servants of Jehovah God, such as the patriarchs Abraham and Job, were not given the commission to help persons outside their households to adopt right worship. For this reason their time appears to have been mainly filled with caring for the physical and spiritual needs of their respective households. Jehovah blessed the diligent efforts of these servants of his so that they came to have much livestock, many servants, and much gold and silver.—Ge 12:16; 13:2; 14:14; 30:43; 32:10; Job 1:2, 3; 42:10-12.
Even if wealthy, these men were not materialists. They appreciated that their material prosperity was due to Jehovah’s blessing upon them, and they were not greedy for riches. Abraham, after defeating four allied kings and recovering all the goods that they had seized from Sodom, could have greatly increased his wealth. But he turned down the offer of the king of Sodom to take the recovered goods, saying: “I do lift up my hand in an oath to Jehovah the Most High God, Producer of heaven and earth, that, from a thread to a sandal lace, no, I shall take nothing from anything that is yours, in order that you may not say, ‘It was I who made Abram rich.’ Nothing for me!” (Ge 14:22-24) When Job lost all his livestock and his children, he exclaimed: “Jehovah himself has given, and Jehovah himself has taken away. Let the name of Jehovah continue to be blessed.”—Job 1:21.
Abraham, Job, and others showed that they could be trusted with riches. They were industrious and used their material possessions properly. Job, for example, was ever ready to help the poor and afflicted. (Job 29:12-16) In view of their right attitude, there was excellent reason for Jehovah God to protect his servants from life defrauded by selfish and greedy men.—Ge 31:5-12; Job 1:10; Ps 105:14.

its not wealth that is the problem , for many of Gods approved servants had it , King david , King solomon , Job, Its the LOVE of money which is the root of all deleterious equipment, if kept in its proper place money can be quite useful , the distress is many who get it tend to trust in it and what it can buy and it becomes a huge distraction away from serving God , Jesus was very clear when he said "keep your eye unadorned" and "your father knows what you need" if we place the kingdom initially all these other equipment will be extra to us!!!!

No, wealth is never taught in the Bible to be ok.
James 5:1
Look here you rich people: Weep and groan with anguish because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you. Your wealth is rotting away, and your fine clothes are moth eaten rags. Your gold and silver have become worthless. The very wealth you were counting on will eat away your flesh like fire. This treasure you have accumulated will stand as evidence against you on the day of judgment.
James 5:5
You have spent your years on earth in luxury, satisfying your every question. You have fattened yourselves for the day of slaughter.
For the Bible to say that wealth is fine would be a horrible contradiction.
Matthew 19:23
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I’ll say it again- it is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!

The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.
