Mark 10:25
    "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich to enter the kingdom of God."

Granted the eye of a needle proverb was given by Jesus to his disciples who were Jews and were taught from birth that they were expecting an earthly king a savior that would rule the whole of the earth and bring peace and prosperity (Great wealth to the feet of the Jews themselves). So you could imagine their shock when they were told that rich people would be left out of this kingdom. They were probably trying to figure out where the prosperity would come from when all the rich people had to give their wealth away.  Like so many of Jesus teachings the same point carries many lessons.  Another meaning of this Proverb is to show that if you desire money then you certainly can’t desire God with your whole heart and money becomes your god.

So now that we have looked at a couple obvious problems that come from the desire for wealth, can we truly say that the Bible says all evil is generated by wealth? Clearly wealth should be seen as a terrible stumbling block to Christians and an area of the lives of wealthy Christians to spend a large portion of prayer and meditation.

I’m afraid the topic of "The Evils of Wealth" has been distracting us from an area of an even greater source of evil.

Control

Control: the actual source of all evil stems from the desire to be God; The desire for a human or a group of humans to be in control of other humans. This control can be coerced by means of financial compensation but only as far as the employee is willing to sacrifice their walk with God to gain wealth. Most often this evil control can be found in subjugation due to status given or condoned by a governing body. Take the Jews for example their evil desires have convinced them that Jesus is not the Messiah because he did not bring the kind of kingdom that gave them some form of control or authority that they were expecting. After all if you were a people chosen by God don’t you think logic would suggest you were to receive some leadership position from God? The thing that should be most obvious to Jews is that, that sort of leadership position is the very control over others that takes away their free will.  I can't imagine any reason for God to relenquish his desire for the will of the people to any group of humans even the Jews.  

I am not an anarchist but I find all governments to be too controlling. I’m also not a Libertarian. Libertarians are just Republicans without a spine. I believe we should work together to build a society that encourages us all to strive for the best possible walk with God. Eg: Drugs, most libertarians think it does not affect them if other people use drugs. However, it does affect society.  We should not sit back and do nothing to try to stop people from behaviors that are as harmful as drug use, especially when the drugs have been allowed to take over control of their lives like a drug addiction.  Another example is Homosexuality: Homosexuality is proven by everything we know spiritually mentally and physically to be wrong.  We should not attempt to control people’s behaviors or control whom they sleep with.  It is wrong to try to stop a person from a homosexual act.  However since Homosexuality is wrong we should not condone Homosexuality by allowing homosexual marriage or making up any other special rights based on sexual behavior, because that would be contrary to encouraging the best possible walk with God.  The topic of rights vs special privilege has been covered in great detail by other bloggers on TownHall the focus of my column is Control so bear with me.

The type of control that hides from too many people is the control of how much of your own money you give to the poor.  When we tax the rich for the benefit of the poor we are really saying we don’t trust you to give to the poor on your own so we will take control over your paycheck and ripe out as much as we want.  Yes we’ll excuse our evil doing by giving a meager portion of that money to social programs as long as they are the ones we want.  Do you really thing God has crowns waiting for those who were taxed the heaviest when that taxation was out of their control?  Do you think God has a crown waiting for you because you voted to raise taxes on the rich to pay for a healthcare program or any other social program?

You Democrats are trying to coerse control over the people of this country.  You are not doing Gods will.  God wants the rich to give to the poor of their own free will.  Why do you suppose he gave us free will in the first place?  Then to top it off you take that money stolen from the rich and use it to gain control of the voting rights of the poor, you say Vote for us or you’ll lose the meager pittance we allow to trickle through to you.  The amount of money wasted in the administration of these programs is staggering.  All the while you wonder why you can’t seem to get a grip on the Christian vote.  The word "Duh" should come to mind.  The problem is: you think the ends justify the means. There is no justification for taking the control of the rich peoples money away from them, or attempting to control one group of people with the intention of using their money to control another group, political power and great control, yes of course but that control is evil not just.
