Your understanding of those things Jesus said is off, in either case.
2) He told people who wanted to be his immediate disciples that they had to give up what they had and follow him. We can't do that anymore since Jesus isn't around to preach anymore.
I'm laughing because of that whole "the poor shall always be with you" bit.
Also how in your first point I mean. The most notable rich follower was Judas and generally he's reviled even ignoring the whole "sold out Jesus for a few pieces of silver" thing.
You clearly didn't understand what "the poor shall always be with you" is about. He literally told someone that when she spent her money on oils to wash his feet and the Pharisees bashed her for not "helping da poor" instead.
And there were rich apostles and disciples throughout the new testament who supported missionaries and other believers. There was no indictment against being rich in the new testament.
You totally missed it. He was okay with her washing his feet because he's only there for the time. The pharisees who would rather have had the poor helped, at any point in time except while Jesus lived, would have been 100% right. But because Jesus was alive then and there, it was acceptable and even praiseworthy for her to have done such a thing, as she gave up what was it, a years worth of pay for the oils because the first and most genuine thought she had was to bless Jesus with zero semblance of shame in how she would do so.
Sure, that's obvious. And the same thing applies in general - you don't just strip yourself or others of everything they have and make them poor in some attempt to help the poor. There is a time and place for everything.
At no point did Jesus teach that saving money and aiming to grow your net worth is wrong. ---
