It will b EASIER for a CAMEL to Pass THROUGH d Eye of a NEEDLE than for a Rich Man to Enter d Kingdom of god, Says jesus.
Why?
Re: God Hates Rich People by yme1(f): 1:03am On Dec 05, 2009
he doesnt hate the rich
he was only trying to make us understand that we shouldnt let money take us away from entering the kingdom of God
in other words we shouldnt focus on money alone

No, i never claimed that the creator of the universe does not exist.But i claimed that the christian god does not exist, or at best, a phoney trying to usurp the post of the creator, but just can't fit in 'cos it is far too big a post for him to handle. But his followers like you just won't go belly up.smiley

Jesus did not say that it would be impossible for rich people to enter the kingdom of God. Jesus said it would be hard. Because your riches have a way of drawing you away from God. If a rich man can set his priorities right, then he will enter the kingdom of God.

Quite a lot.I will name just a couple.
1)The christian god is manmade, the creator of the universe made man.
2)The christian god is a limited deity who exist only within the christian doctrines and scriptures. The creator of the universe transcends the doctrinal walls and boundaries of christianity and any other religions, and encompasses them all at the same time.

Even with those two, you can see that the differences are vast.But ponder on those two for starters.

What you wrote right there was your own belief, your perception of the Christian God.
Re: God Hates Rich People by jagunlabi(m): 8:08pm On Dec 06, 2009
No.What i wrote is the belief and perception of the christian god by the christians themselves.

Read Genesis chapter 1. Was the Christian God man made or did he make man? Where do you get your theories from?

The Christian God is not a limited deity.
John 3:27
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

Draw the conclusion yourself.
Re: God Hates Rich People by jagunlabi(m): 8:24pm On Dec 06, 2009
I have read the chapter and the rest of the bible a few times and it does not prove wrong that the christian god is manmade, because that chapter(and the whole damn book) was written by MEN.

With God all things are Posible.

Rich People will go to haven , Poor ones like us will equally go to haven if we believe in Jesus Christ.
Re: God Hates Rich People by jagunlabi(m): 8:34pm On Dec 06, 2009
Yes, he is limited, because he only exists within the christian doctrine and can't seem to exist or function outside of it.He is a god made by christians and for christians alone.NOW, THAT IS A VERY VERY LIMITED GOD IN SCOPE.

2Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

So no, the Bible was not written by men.
Re: God Hates Rich People by jagunlabi(m): 8:48pm On Dec 06, 2009
Either inspired by a god or a demon, or even both, that still does not change the fact that the book was still written by MEN, anonymous men at that.Which makes the book even more dubious in origin.

Re: God Hates Rich People by mamagee3(f): 10:46pm On Dec 06, 2009
He was referring to the rich people's pride in their wealth
that passage means it would be difficult for a rich man to enter,
the kingdom of God because of his pride
