But remember when he was on earth there were those who would listen and those who wouldn't just like now a days. Remember when Satan took Jesus to a unusually high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory(Mathew 4:8). Jesus did not focus on this tempting offer. he did not let his heart entertain wrong desires. and he did not have to contemplate the Devil's offer in order to reject it. Jesus reacted immediately. "Go away, Satan!" he commanded. (Matt. 4:10) Jesus kept his focus on his relationship with his father and replied in harmony with his purpose in life, namely that of doing god's will.(Heb. 10:7)What we focus our eyes on can reinforce the desires of our heart, for good or for bad. Satan will exploit "the desire of the eyes" as much as he can in his attempt to lead us astray. (1 John 2: 26; 1 Peter 5: 8 ). @James A Nichols: enjoy your comment. it is so true about people can forget about our heavenly father and his son Jesus who died a terrible death for us.

Why is it that when serious money is discussed everyone says that they would help others. The psycology of people at times is quite comical. For one you don't need millions or even billions of dollars to help others. Money if very little is not needed to help others. You can volunteer, take a kid fishing, help a neighbor with something, give a helping hand to a handicapped or elderly man or woman, and the list goes on. It's not hard you guys. Doing a good deed isn't necessarily a religious thing it's a human thing and those that help others actually learn about themselves in more way than one in the process. To me it sounds like jealousy. I bet a that if 90% or > of people that claim they would keep only enough for themselves not give the rest away are obviously not poor nor rich, cause if you were poor you would want every damn dollar you could get, if you were rich it would be a natural instinct to save it and or amass capital preservation assets that ultimately would insure that you'd stay rich. A status quo? Certainly, and for everyone in between that's why you are where you are, because you do just enough not to be poor but not enough to be rich and this to me sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy on most peoples parts. You give up and lose hope or ambition and motivation which are completely different. Religion isn't really a 21st century tool to use to navigate around the complex world we are in today. Indeed their are some fundamental concepts in the Bible but at the same time it isn't really realistic. I believe in a God and I'm a follower of Christ because he's all I know in religion, I guess i'm at times an agnostic to but besides that all people are greedy in one way or the other, if you go to work you are in a sense greedy. It's normal to be greedy it's a instinct in humans based off of survival instincts. Greed however that hurts others is not good and in my opinion the worst type of greed. If I where rich, hell I'd live it up to the core. At the same time I would do things that would help others but I tell you what I'd be having a blast with all that loot. The thing is folks, not one of you can possibly understand everything, everyone is ignorant. Think about it. Anyways someone is going to be ultra rich just like someone is going to be ultra poor and that is just the fact of life. Why bother trying to pick apart and try to understnd the reasoning behind these peoples purchases. It is what it is. Now get off the computer and go buy a jet! LOL Are you people serious?
