Human nature I guess. Rich equals prosperity, abundance, God's Promise, Heaven while Poor is synonymous with hunger, strife, death, devil's promise, hell.

We all instinctively discriminate between the rich and the poor. That of the church is only more noticeable because it occurs in an enclosed space. It's sad but that has been the way of things since the days of old and will be tough to get rid of.

A tidbit from Chatgpt when I enquired:

1. WEALTH SEEN AS GOD'S BLESSING
Abraham

- Genesis 13:2 – Abraham was “very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.”

- His wealth was presented as part of God’s covenant blessing.

- Prosperity = evidence of divine favour.

Solomon

- 1 Kings 10:23 – Solomon surpassed all kings in riches and wisdom.

- His wealth symbolised God’s promise fulfilled to David.

- Prosperity was seen as a sign of divine approval.

Job (before his suffering)

- Job 1:3 – Described as the greatest man of the East, wealthy and blessed.

- Wealth was interpreted as proof of righteousness.



2. POVERTY SEEN AS A CURSE OR DIVINE DISPLEASURE

- Deuteronomy 28 – Obedience brings prosperity; disobedience brings poverty and suffering.

- This shaped Israel’s worldview: poverty often assumed to be a punishment.

Job (during suffering)

- Job’s friends assumed his suffering meant hidden sin.

- Poverty and loss were equated with divine judgement.

- This is one of the clearest examples of moral discrimination based on material state.

Lazarus

- In the parable (Luke 16:19–31), the rich man lived in luxury while Lazarus suffered.

- Socially, the rich man would have been assumed blessed.

- Jesus reverses the assumption: Lazarus is comforted; the rich man is tormented.

- This parable directly challenges the idea that riches equal heaven.



3. EXPLICIT CONDEMNATION OF DISCRIMINATION
James

- James 2:1–4 : If a rich man enters and you give him special seating, but tell the poor man to stand — you have become judges with evil thoughts.

- This is direct rebuke of church-based class bias.

- It shows the instinct to honour wealth was already present in early Christianity.



4. PROVERBS REFLECTING SOCIAL REALITY

- The book of Proverbs often observes (not necessarily endorses) the social pattern:

- Proverbs 14:20 – “The poor is hated even by his neighbour, but the rich has many friends.”

- Proverbs 19:4 – “Wealth attracts many friends.”

- Proverbs 22:7 – “The rich rule over the poor.”

- These verses describe the reality of social discrimination.



5. JESUS CONFRONTING WEALTH ASSUMPTIONS
Jesus

- Matthew 19:23–24 – “It is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.”

- Luke 6:20–24 – “Blessed are you who are poor… Woe to you who are rich.”

- This was radically countercultural in a society that equated prosperity with God’s favour.

A part of me wants to say that the tweets seem rather harmless but if I am to be absolutely fair, then the same standard meted out to males should also apply to the females. If a male had written this, then these tweets will be considered absolutely disturbing.

But on second thought, Simi is not male but female and I think the issue on ground is that we are seeing this from a different lens in 2026 with Epstein and what not being the topic of concern. If this was 2012, noone would have paid heed to any of these tweets. Case in point is the recent documentary - America's Next Top Model on Netflix. Tyra Banks and her team did a lot of 'horrible' things to the contestants which now are considered abominable but back then was pretty acceptable. Tyra and her production team now admit that they were wrong and stupid back then but to their credit, that was the culture at the time so they didn't know any better.

I perfectly understand why Simi is being called out now. Like someone said, we all should be very careful of the things we post online, it may seem harmless today but can be viewed very differently decades down the line. I wish her well. This will be tough to get out from.

CJStarz:

BreakingNews21:
Yup, he allegedly wanted to party on PDF Island.
Funny AI vid over on YT entitled ' NEW CLUB HIT: What Day/Nights the Wildest Party on Your Island' by Mr. Newberger. I rather not link it in this thread/discussion but it's easy to locate.

Honestly, they all disgust me. They do what they do because they know they can easily rewrite history and own the narrative.

An Epsteinist will definitely say that

Is your friend married to you?

PDPdestroyer:
This one just keeps fighting himself

Definitely in self-destruct mode

So the Supreme court ruling was just noise? Is Trump self-destructing?

donself9:
just know you are no longer welcome to August meeting

🤣 I know that I will forgiven before then

donself9:
women not supporting women

I refuse to support this. It is all shades of wrong

She should be sued and detained while they are at it

Silly girl

Sirleo05:
This is what the white man wants, continues payment for drugs and not for permanent cure. We keep producing, you keep buying. But for the permanent cure, that's out of the question.
Pharmaceuticals companies in America and Europe are very rich. Human are bizness to them

Apt

AntiChristian:
Why is there no readily available cure for HIV?

Very good question

Mission accomplished. You have got to love Tonto. Queen of chaos

IbrahimSola:
If I narrate my own experience with the police, you can cry for this country. That's why I keep saying that Nigeria is irredeemable. Policemen are cursed people on Nigeria. Police can see red and call it blue right there.

It is truly horrible.

Baawaa:
From one scammer to another scammer,NPF is a disgrace. Majority of them are cursed

I laughed out loud when I read your last statement. Rather than defer to age old corruption, you chose to believe that our dear police officers are cursed. Hilarious

I agree completely. Ban them all

Mathewrichard99:
They are 14 cats......breakdown....10big cats and 4 tiny cats.......just spotted one very tiny embryo like cat at the feet of the small down below cat.... You are right..... 15 pussy cats

👏👏👏 Exactly

Fourteen cats are present. Spotted one now. So 15

Madness

And it shows. Terrible leaders

Very unnecessary to flaunt these gifts. But then again her occupation as an influencer/celebrity demands it.

Oh wow, this is pretty. Reminds me of a page in my then social studies textbook

China NEVER believes in free lunch which is apt. Everyone should work for his wages.

Funny. You never had a choice to begin with

Someone should check if this date is in keeping with the norm. If it isn't, then FG should look into his claims

She has no moral right to admonish the man

Not what we heard
