Salvation is a Muslin and Christian theory.

The torah says nothing about the existence of an afterlife, and Judaism doesn’t believe in the Muslim or Christian hell.

Muslims are Jewish protestants and Christians are Catholic protestants with Catholicism being the coming to age of Judaism in the OT and the NT as two branches on the same trunk.

I would say that: If your joy does not come from your riches your assets no longer define richess and so are not even worth giving away.

It's bad enough when people with something to say keep that thread going.

The Essenes said their joy was Not Having treasures Not having personal stuff.
Jesus promised treasures in heaven and his father had many mansions

Treasures are things to treasure and without a persona the treasury is gone. From there each one was such masion of his own, and they are found in Rev.14:13.
