everything you own and give the money to the poor”.

Which, per the sources, would be yet to come in any event.

The narrative continues,

When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Notice the word "perfect." If all of us must be "perfect," you know, I haven't sold everything and taken a vow of poverty. Unless you're using a public computer in a library because you own neither phone nor computer, neither have you. As for "loving my brother as myself", I have enough trouble with "thou shalt not murder", if merely cursing somebody counts as murder.

(My takeaway: it's the love of possessions that gets in the way; and just as Israel would "wax fat and forget God" so it is with people--that whole 'love of money" where "love of" is often omitted and the quote is mangled to 'money is [the] root of all sin'. Except that love of a person, of a country, of an idea, of some possessions can just as easily do the trick as money. Bathsheba wasn't 'money', now was she?)

As for the final bit, "But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first," I've always taken that not as "to gehenna with you!" but just as not being at the top of the hierarchy that Jesus metaphorically sets up--apostles judging the 12 tribes of Israel--but falling among the "least in the kingdom of God' category.

p.s. Many people say they were the best and biggest cameras, many, many cameras of the finest quality recording when the SMITE happened. It will not be forgotten.

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." - Biblical verse 1, Timothy 6:10

people like Trump and those that use religion as a tool, not a philosophy. There is no room to debate the issue with Religious folks. "If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people"

God will put up a big wall with windmills behind it to keep him out from smelling the place up also!

to subsidize the manufacture of needles with large, easily navigable eyes in response to the troubling verse, officials confirmed.
