Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is wealth?

    Model answer

    Wealth is a large amount of money, property or other valuable possessions. Religions treat wealth as a responsibility rather than an achievement.

  2. 2

    Which verse is often misquoted as saying that money is the root of all evil?

    Model answer

    1 Timothy 6:10 says that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. The verse condemns greed, not money itself.

  3. 3

    What did Jesus say about the rich entering the kingdom of God?

    Model answer

    Jesus compared a rich person entering God's kingdom to a camel passing through the eye of a needle (Mark 10:25). Wealth is treated in that saying as a serious obstacle to faith.

  4. 4

    What is the right attitude to wealth in Christian teaching?

    Model answer

    Wealth is regarded as a gift from God, held in trust and used for good. Greed and the hoarding of money are condemned.

  5. 5

    What did Jesus tell the rich young man to do?

    Model answer

    Jesus told the rich young man to sell everything he had and give to the poor (Mark 10:21). The man went away sad because he had great wealth.

  6. 6

    What is tithing?

    Model answer

    Tithing is giving a tenth of your income to God, a practice set out in the Torah. Many churches still encourage members to tithe.
