You would rather try and twist the words of God then to face the real truth. Ok how about throwing out the Money Changers. Did that really mean some kind of secret code for an easy way out?

You're taking it the wrong way.

It isn't a sin to be rich. He says it's harder for a rich man to get to Heaven. That simply means that a lot what rich people do isn't glorifying to the will of God. Typically, if you're rich then you aren't giving to the poor; you aren't helping others. There isn't a verse in the Bible that says if you're rich then you wont go to Heaven. It's what you do with your money that isn't in alignment with the God's will for us that may send you to Hell.


Show me how you put a Camel through the eye of a needle one time. Then I will believe one rich person can make it in.


With God nothing is impossible.

You are too busy looking at the "letter of the law" instead of ther "intent of the law".

The MEANING behind that again is what is in the person's heart. The attitude, as the other user put it.

Look at King David or King Soloman .. they both had great riches.. did they make it to heaven..I believe so. flowerforyou


Jesus came after them and made it clear no more.

Why haven't you given all of your possesions away? You still must own a person computer as well as many other things. There are homeless that need that shirt you're wearing more then you do.

Like his creations endlessly twisting his words to get out from under the burden.

Those who obey God's commandments shall not want any good thing. The order is important. Those who please God are blessed with riches. Riches attained through any other way have wings - they get up and fly away.

I already answered this, I do not follow the Bible for this very reason. Everyone talking on here is very Rich.

You have given me one quote , I have given about 8. Show me equal number of quotes where it says it is holy to be rich. Especially from Jesus because I am talking about Christianity.

When you're 8 quotes aren't justifiable then they hold no validity. You're completely misconstruing the intent and meaning behind them. That's easy for you to do when you don't care about them.

They were not tax collectors they were money changers. Bankers basically. The corner stone of capitalism.

First of all everything belongs to God - everything. Thus it is not a sin to be rich.

I cared about them so much I lost my religion over them. I followed the commandment that says you shall not lie. And I looked at these and it was clear. I could not lie to myself about these. Can you?

With that logic it is not a sin to have many wives, many slaves, etc....
