M Greed is a characteristic in good standing in our culture. Its OK to want more and better, and acquire it in any way you can. The Bible is counter cultural, ALWAYS.
V Greed is mentioned in the New Testament 11 times, and its not pretty. Ephesians 5: 5 says, ‘For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.’ The rich young ruler kept 9 commandments, but not the first of having no other God before our God.
M Val, you say, Name it, Claim it, Like it, or Change it. Greed is idolatry. That’s its name.
