ORIGINAL: lockedaway No...you are wrong. You are taking that passage out of context. He told that to a man that wanted to follow him as an apostle. The man was wealthy and Christ told the man what you cited above. The man told Christ that he was (and I'm paraphrasing) crazy and that he asked for too much and the man went away. Christ then said to his apostles that a camel has an easier time passing through the eye of a needle than entering the Kingdom of Heaven. Christ used that man to teach a lesson and the lesson Christ taught that day was that God is jealous and you can have no love of anything above God. Because if you do, the thing you love above God is your Master.......not God. No, it wasn't a man who wanted to follow Jesus as an apostle, it was a man who wanted "eternal life" which I'm guessing means the heaven-sort, not the immortal-on-earth sort. 16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?” 17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 “Which ones?” he inquired. Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’[c] and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’[d]” 20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?” 21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Post the rest of it. paraphrasing; The man walked away with saddened countenance, because his riches were great........... close enough. Wrong...wrong and stupid. The point of that lesson was what I said it was, that you can serve no Master above God. But Kirata is right, man is not capable of living the life of Christ because man is imperfect. He can aspire to live as Christ-like a life as possible but sin is part of the human condition. That is the fucking stupidest shit I have ever read anywhere. What it lacks in moronic it exceeds in cretinism. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. 23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. So, I am totally right, and you lose, take off your pants.
