Poverty of course. Believe you me, crime is more prevalent among the downtrodden than the rich. I've had the privilege to experienced life in both divides, so I understand better.

You know nothing john smoow!

The crime of just one rich man stealing billions as health minister can cause the death of thousanda in the hospitals. spilliage and pollutions by multinational coeperations in a years can kill thousands worldwide and you still won't know because of your one track mind towards the poor.

I believe the bible answers this question.

Proverbs 30:7-9King James Version (KJV)

7 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:

8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

Both of them are equally potent to influence somebody to sin.

A poor man can kill just to be wealthy Also a wealthy man can also kill just to maintain or keep his wealth.

It all depends on the individual.
on point

a poor man can go to a habalist to get charm and kill somebody over landed property but a rich man will use the police or court to settle disputes now based on the above illustration who sin pass? for me poverty is a sin itself.

Shut up! Conceited people like you irritates me. Truly, conceit is God's gift to small-minded people.

Subject of the thread under discussion says it all, and even if it's otherwise, I'm still entitled to my opinion. So, it smack of idiocy for you to pick on me. For one, I'm not the cause of your obvious wretchedness.

The thread asked "Poverty Or Wealth: Which Is More Potent To Influence Sin?" it didn't ask "Outcome of a poor person's sinful action and that of a rich person's sinful action which is more potent to cause major harms to the masses."

Why can`t you address a topic without quoting a bible? Based on your observation, which among poverty and wealth is likely to make one derail from the things of God? In my opinion it is poverty. Poor people are horrible to interact with, especially here in Nigeria.


Poor people are not horrible to interact with. Its all happen in your head. You see everything through your own unique hate lens. Rich people have the money to cover up their sins that's.. Plus their money makes sin look cool. If it was poor shaking their own asss..all over TV. You all will be disgusted. But since its done by the rich and being forced down our collective throat. No one seem to have a counter opinion.

If homosexuality was coming from poor developing nations. The world would have laugh and called them slum bags. But seeing its coming from rich advance, developed nations. No one has alternative view points. Intellectual know all the nice, words not to offend your sensibity. Politically correct people..

Did I ruffle your tiny pink feathers little rich boy! ..sowie.

So you were not being conceit when you pick on the poor. You ass hole. Talking about subject matter. Disproved me then if multinational business cooperation don't kill millions of people globally.

Poor people commit more crime. Idiot! What about white collar crimes privalant among the rich. Since you claimed to have stayyed in both enviroment.

Moreover,

That wasn't a real question Mr. Op just post. Its a rhetorical one as far as spirituality or Christianity is concern. Christianity 101.

If at your age. You still don't know the answer to that question by reflex alone, then what are you still doing in this world

Mathew 19:24

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.

When a man is poor, especially when he has no hope or source of income. He tends to go closer to God.

But a rich man that has everything at his disposal, pleasure sets in.

buh with God all things are possible

Poverty, most definitely, the rich tend to keep a low profile for security reasons while, the poor will do almost anytin to become rich i.e ritualist, armed robbery etc.

It is really an unavoidable end. If we truly realise this, we will tell God to teach us to number our days and then apply wisdom in living our lives. Jesus remain the only way to the father. Please accept Him today and choose to live for Him. Thank you!

As for me, poverty is more potent to influence sin but bible talk more on wealth as being capable to make u sin.


So what is your opinion?

You can't want to have what you already have, those that are rich are rich. Those that are poor want to be rich and most times, won't mind doing anything to be rich. That's why the bible says; For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.(1st Timothy 6:10)
So, the desperation to get money by any means(poverty mentality) is the root of evi

Both.

Too much money make you so prone to sin. When there is too much comfort you forget God. Ease is a great hindrance to the next level God wants to take you to spiritually.
Poverty is like two edged sword, it can destroy you and it can also move you closer to God.

It is better to be cautious of the two.



Watch and pray.

Good observation there, if i break it down ir simply means the love of money is the root of all evil.

God said seek ye the Kingdom of God first ans other things will be added unto you.

In a nutshell, the love of money shouldnt get you into certain activities to make alot of money then negleting heaven. Rather put your hope in christ and work hard in whatever youre into and then all will be fine.

So truly you can be poor and be rich and still make heaven.
