Hell For the Poor

I am told in broad day light by the powerful and rich by some churchmen who claim closeness to God; that the poor are not favored by God the wealthy and powerful are loved, blessed by God Yes; that the poor in wealth will burn in hell- the hot hell without flames the steamy hell without smoke because they have no time to think about and worship God Most times they are worried about what to eat, what to wear and spent time cursing the rich I am told what happens on earth happens up there in heaven the wealthy will be wealthy the happy will be happy the poor will be poor and suffer in hell with children and children’s children! Lord, tell me the truth who will be with you there, the materially poor or the affluent?
