Rabbi meaning great one is only to be used for Yeshua . This is a big reason why the leaders who wanted power and praises of men rejected him and killed him.

[@FeelingerongTheologian]

Why do you guys always depicts the apostles and disciples as poor, cant get that

[@TheBibleEffect]

Thank you for asking this. The apostles likely did not have much material wealth. In 2 Corinthians 11:27 Paul says that he is "hungry and thirsty, often without food, cold and naked." He also touches on this in Philippians 4:11-12. In this Paul, and likely the other apostles imitated Christ who says that he "has nowhere to lay his head" (Matt 8:20). That said, we are not aiming to depict them in a way that suggests complete poverty, but they were not pursuing the wealth and status like the Sophists and the so-called 'Super-Apostles'. I hope that helps. Blessings!

[@samoluwafunbi8061]

@TheBibleEffect Thank you! I believe Jesus Christ was not poor as well, because Christians are wealthy and blessed, is Christ against material wealth

[@TheBibleEffect]

@@samoluwafunbi8061 There is more evidence to suggest that Jesus was not of material wealth, than the evidence to suggest otherwise. For instance, when his parents, Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple for the required offering for the firstborn, they offered “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons” (Luke 2:24), which is what the Law allowed for mothers who could not afford the regular required offering of a sheep (Lev 12:8). Along with the previously quoted verse from Matthew 8:20, we also see in Matthew 17:27, that when it came to paying the temple tax, Jesus did not pay it from his own pocket, but relied on miraculous provision. None of this is to suggest that Jesus lived in abject poverty, and he does not suggest that his followers must live a life of poverty. Nowhere does Jesus (or the rest of the Bible) forbid wealth among his people. Material wealth can be a form of blessing, as we can see in the corporate blessing for obedience for Israel in Deuteronomy 28:11. However, Jesus does not allow for wealth to be the main pursuit of his followers (Matt 6:24; 13:22; Mark 10:23; cf. 1 Tim 6:10). There is much evidence that wealthy people became followers of Jesus. Mary, the mother of Mark owned a house (and had a maidservant) that was big enough to host the gathering of early Christians (Acts 12:12). Along with her, Theophilus is often thought to be the patron of Luke, who sponsored the writing of Luke and Acts (Luke 1:1-4; Acts 1:1-2), an act that required notable means. Money itself is not evil, and having money is not necessarily a bad thing. However, we have to guard our hearts that it doesn’t stir up the sins of coveting and greed, which is a form of idolatry (Col 3:5). Our hearts and hands must remain open to God, so he can use us and the resources he has put in our care, to the benefit of his kingdom, as he sees fit. I hope that helps to clarify. Blessings!
