And Jesus Said To His Disciples . . .

[Buenchico]

. . . “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
[Matthew 19:23-26]

At least he should find it a little bit easier to get into heaven now . . .

The Lord moves in mysterious ways.

Alleluia!

[Peter Pedant]

why didnt he turn them into snakes or little puppies?

This is 'steaming' innit
come into a place and point a gun at your mush and take whatever`is available

[sandyRoe]

Matthew 6:19 has never seemed more appropriate.
:-))

[Canary42]

Must be a lot of Popes, Cardinals, Archbishops etc in Hell then.

[Buenchico]

Thanks for the posts.

LOL @ Sandy ;-)

Think you'll find another text in the New Testament; 'Judge not, lest ye be judged'. Never fail to be amazed that sceptics, atheists etc choose to expend time criticising those of us who are religious. Nothing better to do?

[gness]

Oh don't say that, Canary....doing my best to avoid heaven for fear of meeting them....if they're in hell too it'll be.....well hell. :-(

[Paigntonian]

Funny why those of us who have faith don't go on and on about religion yet those of you who don't have faith feel the need to criticise those with faith.

[Patsy33]

Lol!..

[sandyRoe]

There's a difference between people who use the gullible faithful to line their own pockets and those who serve without thought of personal gain.

[jno]

there are one or two who proselytise on AB, Paigntonian. But by and large the preachers hereabouts are, as they say, self-made men praising their creators.

[gness]

Don't go on about faith, Paingtonian! :-))

I have every reason to go on and on about religion and criticise those with faith as much as I like. I will til the day I die....then I'll probably come back and continue.

[anneasquith]

P, if you are upset about the anti religion nutters on AB you are on the wrong site. Just nod and give them a wee blessing :+)

[gness]

Anne....I'll happily take nutter....just don't bless me, please.

Some say that in a moment of clarity he changed his name from Charles Latan.

If he ain't got more stashed then he's a disgrace to the uniform.

...you can call my toll-free number...

[sandyRoe]

Father forgive them for they know not what they do.
;-)

[anneasquith]

G, I respect your views, as I’m sure you respect mine :-). No blessing from me then ( above my pay grade ) .

[Peter Pedant]

my krinete hina mh krithyti

judge not lest you have been judged ( tenses difft)
two parts only differ by two letters. This form is typical of AD 30 and so has a decent chance of being spoken by The One

[sandyRoe]

But if you'd been judged and found wanting would you be eligible for jury service?
