I think maybe not... it's an important part of Christianity. One reason Christianity was so successful is that it was universal, you didn't need status or anything. Anyone could get into Heaven. That and its message was given to anyone and everyone that was willing to accept it, including low status men.


In other words, loving your enemy and offering shelter for the poor would not be preferable if it was not for the eternal reward, and the word of God isn't good enough on its own?

 

Sounds like God applies to your greed more than anything, if Heaven has such a big role in Christianity's spreading.
