>It was also a rich man who helped bury Jesus
Rich men (The money-changing Pharisees) delivered Jesus into the hands of another rich man (Pontius Pilate) so he could be killed.
>It isn't wealth on it's own that's bad
True - it's loving the world that's bad;

>18 If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you.
>19 If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
You can't be 'of the world' and be a Christian.
>it's the pride and sense of self-reliance and lack of dependency on God that makes it hard for a rich man to enter heaven (but Jesus didn't say it was impossible either. He said it was hard.. and it's this pride that does many of them in)
No, rich men are just more prone to ADDITIONAL sins like pride, on top of loving the world.

>let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God"
What version are you using? The oldest only mention God;
>https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Romans%2013:1
>https://www.biblestudytools.com/rhe/romans/13.html
>1 Let every soul be subject to higher powers. For there is no power but from God: and those that are ordained of God. 2 Therefore, he that resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist purchase to themselves damnation. 3 For princes are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good: and thou shalt have praise from the same.
>8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbour hath fulfilled the law.
Romans 12 puts this in context;
>https://www.biblestudytools.com/rhe/romans/12.html
>1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercy of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing unto God, your reasonable service
You're not even supposed to value your body.
Also these verses;
>https://www.biblestudytools.com/rhe/matthew/5.html
>3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
>4 Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.
>https://www.biblestudytools.com/rhe/matthew/20.html
>16 So shall the last be first and the first last. For many are called but few chosen.
So, Jesus or his Apostles said;
1: To be perfect, give your wealth to the poor,
2: Blessed are the poor in spirit,
3: Go without scrip (Without money,)
4: A camel can get through the eye of a needle easier than a rich man can get into Heaven.
Have a nice day.
