Misconception... Jesus Christ always speaking in parables. In relation to the meanings of; Luke 14:33 - In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples. Philippians 3:7-8 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ... We need to be in total submission to God (physically and spiritually). May God help us. Amen. |

Yes. Even a poor man must give all he has Luk_14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luk_14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Luk_14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Christ asked men to repent and believe the gospel the day they read/hear of Him Have you checked the truths in these of late? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHMzgNU-unyJbOvJWYYqjwg/videos? www.thetruechristianfaith.com[/b] |

onenaija001: That what the bible and Jesus said. Which is why rich people find it difficult to be Christian's. In fact the moment you become rich, you will see why the bible said it is more difficult for a rich man to enter heaven than enter the eye of a needle. That's why all these prosperity preachers must be followers of another christ and not Jesus Christ. |

You must be ready and willing to give all your material wealth..but yes, a rich man can make heaven..when the disciples of Christ asked him “then who can be saved” he answered that with God ALL things are possible..meaning it’s very possible for a rich man to make heaven..zacchaeus was rich by some standards but Christ came and dined and wined in his home didn’t he? What about the centurion who Christ said had the most faith in all of Israel? |

onenaija001: No, in my understanding that passage of the Bible is just a reminder to responsible use of wealth. We should not amass wealth at the expense of the poor but rather help the poor. |

[quote author=jesusjnr2020 post=94029617]Yes he must if he just doesn't want to be saved to enter into the kingdom of God in heaven, but also that which is on Earth. It doesn't necessarily mean a rich man literally forsaking all his riches, but to forsake it mentally. To illustrate, Abraham didn't need to literally sacrifice Isaac to God, but he would have done it had God not stopped him to show that he'd already sacrificed him mentally, so doing it literally would just be a mere formality. Hence God rewarded him for obeying His voice despite the fact that he didn't literally sacrifice his son as God had instructed him to do. Right there is your all in all answer. When you become born again, you automatically seize to be a worshipper of your material wealth. Which most certainly can hinder your growth with the things of the Spirit. Simply put, when you confess Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life it includes all that you are and owned. |

Re: Must A Rich Man Give All He Has If He Wants To Follow Christ? by ArcSEMPECJ(m): 9:46am On Sep 20, 2020 |
If God makes a man rich....how can the same God tell the man to forfeit or give all he has out before he can enter his kingdom? What I believe Christ was explaining to the rich man should be the extent of practical faith which he needs to posses before entering the kingdom of God.... Christ gave him the mental picture of what it is like to enter his kingdom which is to look onto God and not the wealth of the world or rather..... Never allow the wealth of the world make your mindset to deviate from the focus of salvation |

A rich man is different from someone that is comfortable. I have read about an American who on his old age gave his wealth to charity. |

ArcSEMPECJ:God makes people rich to help others. That’s my believe. You give out ur riches by helping, educating and supporting the poor. Not necessarily the context |
