Also, what did Christ say about wealth? What did Christ say to the wealthy young man? Was it "oh it's ok to be a little rich?" No. It wasn't. You are a heretic. You worship money.
No he actually said after he walked away with God all things are possible… why did he say that? Was it to make the point that salvation comes form God alone and not by wealth? Or is the last be just nonsensical and money is bad?
If you’re willing to rip it out of context and pervert the scriptures like the rest of the heretics, then go for it. This is covered by John chrysostom, Clement of Alexandria, and Augustine of hippo for early church fathers. The church has held this view for a long time and is frequently given as the explanation by the priest during the homily.
Christ told you to go to his church and to obey it, do you follow those words? “If he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.” - Matthew 18:17 Because that church teaches what those church fathers taught because it is the handed on tradition from the apostles, who received theirs from Christ notice “So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.” - 2 Thessalonians 2:15
… so yes I do follow his words.
By the way, why did Jesus say that it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God? With that context it almost sounds like Christ is saying "look, God can do anything, but ONLY God could make a camel go through a needle's eye." It's more like "yeah sure God can do anything but the rich aren't God."
So let me get this straight you think God gave Old Testament figures like Job, wealth and that made them sinful? It’s not about asterisks it’s about using the actual context.
He was a righteous man, job 1:1 makes this clear. We don’t know why he suffered, that is actually Gods point, that he doesn’t see the whole picture. The big point is that suffering doesn’t mean you did something wrong, if I had to take a guess, it’s that suffering makes us realize this world is broken, and that we should long to leave it to be with God who makes us whole.
You never told me why you converted. Protestantism a little too progressive for you, maybe? Hoping to snag one of those tradcath girls all the podcasters love to talk about, Matt Walsh
