Can Rich Christians Make This Happen? Another N100, 000 up for grabs! by vedaxcool(m): 8:10am On Jun 02, 2015 |
The above picture simply represents a dilemma as contained in the verse; 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. Mathew 10:25 Jesus advised the rich man in question to sell of all his property; Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me Mat:10:21 The problem becomes very few of Christians would make heaven, as the phrase pass a camel through the eye of a need is meant to denote an impossible event, some thing that wouldn't and cannot happen. Jesus is in essence saying no rich person can make heaven. Once again after the mountain expedition we are witnessing how the biblical writters attribite statements or actions to jesus that either fails to convey what is really happen or words that are illogical or whose meanings would be damning to most christians alive. Can christians make camels pass through the eye of a needle? Do I sense a challenge? christians over to you. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Rilwayne001: Then after he sells them and work again and become rich what happens? That was a test of faith because Jesus knew he won't do it , If you are rich and you're not able to give out your possessions that's where the problem is not that its wrong or we're not supposed to be rich. He said one thing you lack and what's that ? Giving. |

elantraceey:Mar 10:21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." ……Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is FOR THE RICH to enter the kingdom of God!" … Peter said to him, "We have left everything to follow you! "I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields--and with them, persecutions) and in the age TO COME, eternal life. 1 Like |

Rilwayne001: 2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 3 John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 1 timothy 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Kai, this muslims are too deluded and confused!!! The message of this preaching is the kingdom of heaven, the needle hole represents the gate of heaven and the man whom Jesus was talking to is a rich man, the man find it hard to abandoned his riches for the gospel of salvation that why Jesus say; It is easier for camel to go through the hole of needle than for the man to enter the kingdom of heaven. As a matter of fact the context was Not even talking about faith miracle or sign. Even the Persian say something similar to this,it will be easier to put elephant in the hole of needle. The quran has completely shut this muslims brain. |

elantraceey:I heaaaaar. Calling is not what u will necessarily be informed long b4 time. It may come a bit sudden. So don't rule it out. However I understand ur point and ur fears. Don't forget Eli was called but he was later substituted by Samuel at his young age when he knew not how to even hear from God.Calling is not written on anybody's forehead.God decides whom to call. |

Rilwayne001: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matt 6:33 If Christian were to be poor on earth what relevance does the above has. To the Topic no everybody that gave-up all his belongings will still make heaven. You right and correct to say Christians are expected to leave everything for jesus and his gospel, but to be poor on earth 1Jn 1:2 opposes you. Take King David for example He wanted to Build temple for God but he was forbidden. 1 Like |
