Mat 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me.

Luk 6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask [them] not again.
Jesus was speaking to the rich young ruler in Matthew 19:21. He knew the man's heart. He trusted in his riches. Trusting in riches is wrong. The lesson was to trust in God, not in what you have. No where in any of your verses does Jesus say anything bad about having money. The lesson is about greed.

Luke 6:30 says to give. Christians give more than anyone. Nothing in that verse about having wealth being a sin. It is not a sin to have wealth. The lesson is about giving.

As usual, you don't get the spiritual meaning of the bible verses. That's because your conscience is seared by your life of unbelief.
