In Luke 16:11 Christ saying wealth is unrighteousness. Then why did God bless David, Solomon, Abraham, and many others with unrighteousness wealth?
This verse referred to is part of a series of parables Jesus gave beginning in Luke chapter 15. There in verse 2 the scribes and Pharisees murmured because Jesus received sinners and ate with them. Because of their superior attitude, Jesus went on to give the Parables of the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin and the Prodigal [...]
