16 Wo unto you men, that will not your substance to the , for your will canker your souls; and this shall be your lamentation in the day of visitation, and of judgment, and of indignation: The is past, the summer is ended, and my soul is not saved!
17 Wo unto you men, whose hearts are not broken, whose spirits are not contrite, and whose bellies are not satisfied, and whose hands are not stayed from laying hold upon other men’s goods, whose eyes are full of , and who will not with your own hands!
18 But blessed are the who are pure in heart, whose hearts are broken, and whose spirits are , for they shall see the of God coming in power and great glory unto their deliverance; for the fatness of the shall be theirs.
D&C 56:16-18
A reminder to all of us that there is no "capitalism," no "free market," in the Lord's kingdom.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a man shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Matthew 19:23-24
No one goes to heaven with money. You either go poor of your own free will, or you don't go.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his ?
Mark 8:36-37
Those who have gained the world and lost their souls simply won't be there.
