The King’s Speech 2023

Plus; is being rich a sin in itself?
It depends how the wealth was acquired.
In terms of the royal family, land grabbing by force or coercion and then fleecing the natives living on the land with taxes and becoming extremely wealthy (and powerful) on the back of it is wrong.

Behind every great fortune, lies a great crime.
 
OK so the being rich bit wasnt a commandment.
It was a parable by Jesus who said it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
I believe modern-day scholars have retranslated the Aramaic word "gml" as rope, not camel
From Aramaic into Greek, the Greek word Kamelon is camel, Kamilon is rope.
