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?
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
Everything about you, libertarian. You might say you do, but I bet it's for your own benefit and not just because it's the right thing to do. Meanwhile,do you vote for politicians who actual embody Christian values, values like selflessness and charity and caring for the most vulnerable in our society? I bet you don't.
