Outline Christian teaching on wealth and poverty. (Write about 300words)

All Christians should help and give some money to people who are in poverty not just wealthy people everyone should but maybe the very wealthy people should give that little bit extra why they have more money than others.

In the parables the sheep and goat and the Good Samaritan these teach Christians that in the sheep and the goat you should be more like the sheep because the sheep gives food it gives you a home and it would give you a drink the sheep is like when we give money to Christian aid we are helping people who are in poverty but the goat doesn't give you food when you are hungry or doesn't give you a home or doesn't give you a drink when your thirst the goat is like the people who don't care about the poor and won't give any money to help them buy food, water or homes .The good Samaritan you should be more like the Samaritan who helps the Jew even though Samaritans and Jews didn't get on then he still helped the Jew lying on the floor he helped him up and cleaned and bandaged his wounds up he then put him on his donkey and took him to an inn he then told the innkeeper what had happened and what he had done he then give the innkeeper some money to take care of the man till he got back that is someone who helps people who are in poverty like in the parable first a religious man walks past him but he is too busy to stop and walks straight past him then soon after that a religious Levite walks past and is to busy to stop as well these are the people who don't care about people in poverty but the two men were religious people and people would of thought that the two religious man and Levite both would of stopped to help the Jew but they was to selfish to stop. It is like when Christian aid has put money boxes in shops and people are stood outside of supermarkets asking for money to help people who is in poverty but just walk past don't put know money in the charity boxes which they are only trying to help those who are in poverty less fortunate than they are.

Some Christians don't believe it is wrong to be wealthy because you have earned that money although other people don't earn as much as others you should think of others and not just yourself and praise it you should share your money with people who are in poverty and who are poor which your money could help save lives and gives people food, water and homes they could learn to grow crops which would give them food so they wouldn't starve to death make a water pump with fresh water in that could be put into there village and there could be homes built instead of people sleeping outside so sharing your money can do alloy of things to help people who are in poverty getting out of it.
