Religious folks; do you think bragging about obscene amounts of wealth is a sin?

I read this quote a while ago "If you would learn what God thinks about money, you have only to look at those to whom he has given it." And it has me to wonder....do you guys agree with that quote?

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU DO WITH THE MONEY AND YOUR LIFE. IF YOU GIVE IT AWAY IN CHARITY, TO ORPHANS, AND TO FAMILY ECT., THAN IT CAN BE SOMETHING THAT HELPS YOU TO BE IN PARADISE AND AVOID THE HELLFIRE. BUT IF YOU ARE GREEDY WITH IT AND BASICALLY DON'T DO ISLAMIC THINGS WITH IT (LIKE BUY ALCOHOL AND DRUGS WITH IT) THAN IT CAN LEAD TO YOUR RUIN IN ETERNAL HELLFIRE. THIS LIFE IS A TEST FROM THE CREATOR.

I don't understand the quote.

the money !s just ba!t & the people that have !t are be!n tested to see how !t changes them, the corrupt are corrupted by !t, others do good..

"!ts eas!er to get a camel through the the eye of a needle than to get a r!ch man !nto heaven"

money !snt the root of ev!l but bragg!n & look!n down on others !s a s!n, judgement !s a s!n...

I feel it's important to show that one thing that you do doesn't define you as a human being. It doesn't mean there aren't ramifications or you shouldn't pay for that but its not who you are.

Bragging or boasting about anything is a sin.

Every man in this life or the next needs money, this is how the world operates.

One should never brag about what they have, there is a parable in the bible where a rich man asks Jesus what should I do??, Jesus replies give all of your money to charity and sale all that you own.

Amen.

Jesus said where your treasure is that where your heart will be. So whatever you value, that tells you what you value. And if you boasting about having a bunch of money, that's what you value. And that's what you love. And you can't love both God and money according to Jesus. You have to choose one (not that having money is sin but valuing it more then God).
