How many times does the bible talk about a rich man?
In the King James version The phrase rich man is mentioned 19 times 2 Samuel * 12:2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: * 12:4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. Job * 27:19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not. Proverbs * 10:15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty. * 18:11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. * 28:11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. Jeremiah * 9:23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: Matthew * 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. * 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. * 27:57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: Mark * 10:24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! * 10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Luke * 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: * 16:1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. * 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and * 16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. * 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; * 18:25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. James * 1:11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
Does the Bible state that God created some men to be lost?
That is hotly debated topic. It is related to the doctrine of predestination, and would advocate the double-predestination position which says that God chose some folks to be saved and chose others to be condemned. There are passages in the Bible that say some people are lost - for example, the parable that Jesus about the rich man and Lazarus where the rich man ends up in Hell and Lazarus in Heaven. However, the Bible does not explicitly say that some people are created to be lost. It could be, for example, that God created the rich man with a free will and that the rich man chose to ignore Lazarus and focus on himself. He condemned himself by of that sin.
