What is your point we all know greedy protestants arent going to heaven
...okay? There's nobody here who disagrees with that. Christianity is about selfless dedication, not greed.

This is correct, Joel Osteen preaches the heretical "prosperity gospel" which essentially says that if you just believe in God then you're going to get rich.
Usually they'll manipulate poor people in their congregation by saying that God will make them extremely rich if they "donate" to the pastor all that they can afford to give.
But, well, this post was probably made by some reddit fedoralord of lefty hippy "tolerance" moron who doesn't even know what Jesus actually preached.

But you can't help the poor if you can't help yourself first.

Does the bible condemn people who make money and then donate a large portion?

It's just a bad analogy. Two different scenarios entirely. it's like saying reading MLK as he wants you to hate whites is like reading the grinch and thinking your job is to steal christmas.
Might be better to say reading the gospel as your job is to betray Christ is like reading the grinch and thinking your job is to steal Christmas. But that one doesn't quite work out either.
How about reading the gospel as Jesus wants you to die for our sins is like reading the grinch and thinking your job is to stop Christmas.

It doesnt even condemn wealth. The parable of the camel x needle is explaining that no amount of money gets you into heaven, only faith in Christ. The actual takeaway was suppose to be a moral that ran opposite to jewish belief at the time, that wealth was a sign of gods blessing and approval for what you were doing. Christ's message was that the arrogance to believe that your money means anything to god is going to lead you astray.
