reminder the "eye of a needle" is an archway in Egypt
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.”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
no its not
reminder that its literally not
rich compared to who? guy with $1000 in bank is rich compared to guy with $10.
So Jesus brother is coming and he doesn't forgive like Goku does
Get ready everybody
is that not half of a Hitler quote? Referring to finding a great man in politics he quotes,
"Sooner will a camel pass through a needle's eye than a great man be 'discovered' by an election."
It really doesn't matter. The point is to show that many people will not sacrifice money, and earthly pleasures in general, in order to gain true wealth in heaven. It isn't really that they "can't" enter heaven, it's that they "won't" because they value the material over the spiritual.
jesus was preaching again for the people of his time
jews were a lot like evangelicals who believed in the prosperity gospel; if you were wealthy god loved you, if you weren't, its because you were sinful.
the point was to separate people from conflating and equating fortune from the love of god.
Matthew 15:21-28 New International Version
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
>24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
>26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.

Why are they pushing this image of Jeeeeeeeesuuuuuuusaaaa?!
4 real though why are they pushing hobo Jesus?
Reminder the translation error was on "camel".
Anyway, it didn't change the meaning of the sentence.
I think it really just means that the truly rich people aren't exactly nice. Don't all CEOs have characteristics of psychopaths? You gotta step on others a lot to climb the success ladder.
>Worship semite prophet
>REEEE WHY ISN'T HE WHITE LIKE I WAS TOLD
Come home to paganism, white man. Do not worship the "king of the jews". The fact that I even need to point this out..
>But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Funny, they always leave this part out.
Makes you think.
Wtf. You dumb bro. Pagans have no scriptures. Stick to the religion of your forefathers. Skip the pagan faggotory unless you're becoming Buddhist or Hindu or Sikh or something. This is white people's religious version of Elvis is still alive
>paganism
>white
>Stick to the religion of your forefathers
So paganism?
your forefathers religion was majority christian
>“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
So doesn't this mean that even rich men can be saved?
Christianity was a foreign invading religion in Europe, just like Islam is today.
and christianity, not only enriched the European culture, but has shown us the right way
I'd argue it destroyed much of European culture and has shown you the way of globalism
>it destroyed much of European culture and has shown you the way of globalism
omegalul
alright, you sound like a person who would love to live in a mudhut, good luck with that
Yes.
Another take away is that that line in context does not refer to a person's absolute wealth, but their elevating that wealth above God
Man you haven't prayed to Jesus in a long time. That's why you're saying this. Say you're sorry for your mistakes and he'll forgive you. Feel the love, grace, and peace of God bro
> I'd argue it destroyed much of European culture
Christians protected the european traditions. Are you retarded?
>2018
>Still ignoring all the translation errors and cultural misinterpretation in the Bible.
Jesus is right, we should abandon currency-based systems and abandon the commodity-form (Marxist definition) and instead have a mix of strongly superhuman AI and democratic planning . Let us be ruled by science. Also, I voted for Trump.
Huehuehue
Christfedoras need to be raptured off this rock to find (((him))).
