"If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor,
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow me"

[Matt. 19:21]

These words point directly at the obsession with wealth.

Jesus was talking about freeing oneself from the worship of mammon.

Jesus said,
"Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God"

[verses 23, 24]

The needle's eye was a small postern gate, used after nightfall,
when the large gates of the city were shut.

Only by the load being removed from the camel's back, and with much pushing and pulling,
could the animal be got through;
so the rich man must get rid of his load of riches if he wished to enter the Kingdom of God.

"no Christian" is an absolute declaration. To make such a declaration
you would be required to have intimate knowledge of not only every
major Christian father, but every Christian of the 1st C. Obviously
you are not omniscient so that pretty much reduces your assertion as
mere bravado.

Another assumption you make is that Trinitarianism is a product of
humanism. You seem not to understand the dynamics of heresy, the
chicken and the egg thing. Arianism was darkness. As both Gen and Jn
state, Light was before darkness. How many times did Jesus declare, "I
am?" Our English translation insert (and usually italicize) "he," to
make it read, "I am He." But the Greek does not state it so. Why 7 "I
AM" statements in John? Isn't 7 the number of God? And when circles
back to the OT references of those "I AM" statements, you will find
they point only to YHVH. The Jewish leaders clearly understood this,
even noting that Jesus had thus declared Himself to equal to God
(5:18). That Je
