"The Jesus who tells people to give everything to the poor and follow him ... he bugs me."

Is this tied to a belief that it is a sin to be poor? Or that only sinners are poor? Or that, if you are poor, it must be because you have done something "wrong" in the eyes of God?

Is it right to take in (and preach out) the parts of Christ's message that don't inconvenience you, while disavowing those parts of His message that "bug" you? Do these things "bug" you because they ask you to give up something/do without something?
