This from the bible.

Scriptures would seem to indicate yes.
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. -- Luke 16:19-25

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. -- Matthew 19:23-24, Mark 10:23-25

But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. -- Luke 6:24

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. -- James 5:1

Wow talk about taking a verse out of context.

Abraham was rich - Job was rich - King David was rich - King Solomon was rich - Luke was rich -Joseph was rich - Moses (early years) - Billy Graham is rich (royalties from all his books).

Looks like you have to go back and find out why HE said what HE SAID - your interpretation is FALSE!

It is the LOVE of $ that is .. .. the ROOT .. .. of all EVIL!

It has nothing to do with $. That is not the cause - it is man's selfishness ONLY!

The rich man in Luke chapter 16 did not care or help his fellow man - he was only interested in himself.

People do not go to heaven for being "good" that is myth

People do not go to hell for being bad - that also is myth

People choose - either to reject the 'GIFT' or Accept the "gift" of eternal life!

What do you choose to do with YOUR LIFE??
