I think every comment and opinion cited is correct to the situation of the person making the comment. One's opinion is normally arrived at based on one's education, situation, upbringing, etc. I'll stick to Bible verses though and my understanding of the verses.
I know the Bible says:
a. "No one can serve two masters.......You can not serve God and money"
b. “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the
abundance of his possessions.”
c. "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils"
d. “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven; and come, follow Me.”
e. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of
God".
And also:
a. "The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all."
b. "Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed."
c. "The Lord makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and he exalts."
e. "Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to
accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God."
d. "Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold."
I understand the rich people mentioned in the Bible like Abraham, Joseph ( Jacob ), Joseph of Arimathaea and David got rich on their own and never got their wealth from ministry or using God's name or His Words.
One has to remember, those who gave their tithe, bought the book or paid for preaching conference ticket were looking for God not Microsoft software or any human-made inspiration.
And I believe, these "preachers" expressly or not, CLAIMED to be guided by the Holy Spirit when they share their thoughts. I say so because "revelation of the Word of God" only comes from the Holy Spirit" and all these Rich and Famous preachers call themselves " Preachers of the Word of God"
Just saying...
