Response to comment [from an athiest]: "Jesus made it clear what he thought of the rich. Either worship Jesus or worship money, your choice but you don't get to do both."

You cannot serve God and mammon (Mt 6:24).

"1 Ti 6:10 Money itself is not evil since it is a gift from God (Deut. 8:18); Paul condemns only the love of it (cf. Matt. 6:24) which is so characteristic of false teachers (see notes on 1 Pet. 5:2; 2 Pet. 2:1–3, 15). strayed from the faith. From the body of Christian truth. Gold has replaced God for these apostates, who have turned away from pursuing the things of God in favor of money." MacArthur, J., Jr. (Ed.). (1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed., p. 1871). Nashville, TN: Word Pub.

The rich young ruler went home sad. "[He] was very sorrowful—Matthew (Mt 19:22) more fully, “went away sorrowful”; Mark still more, “was sad” or “sullen” at that saying, and “went away grieved.” Sorry he was, very sorry, to part with Christ; but to part with his riches would have cost him a pang more. When Riches or Heaven, on Christ’s terms, were the alternative, the result showed to which side the balance inclined. Thus was he shown to lack the one all-comprehensive requirement of the law—the absolute subjection of the heart to God, and this want vitiated all his other obediences." Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (Vol. 2, p. 119). Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.

Riches can be chocking (Lk 8:14).

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "You are very much of this world, divorcing your husband, grabbing the home he provided for you, living off him. Calling the cops on him when he begged you to let him stay. You are awful meshackles."

He does not have to fight for her. She is not a believer.

If the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace (1 Co 7:15).
