Bible History ResearchMoney and the BibleIf you would please read the whole scripture which I pointed out everyone should do to see the whole story. Jesus did indeed ask them to give all they had away. There isnt anyware that says its ok to keep it all if you still worship. But it does say there is a slim chance that a man of money could get into heaven. But it points out quite clearly than it is easier to get a camel through the eye of a needle than a rich man get into the kingdom of heaven.......how you ever tried to get a camel even through a barn door? That bugger sure isnt gonna go through the eye of a needle. Basicly it boils down to its practicly impossible for a man of money to enter the kindom. This is because a man who loves his money will not give it up. But a man who loves his god would not hesistate to give it up. Jesus did not say give to your church he said give to those without. There are lots of people out there that are without . If you ever bother to donate food once a month or so to your town to feed the homeless you would no doubt see that. Therefor the passage bascily boils down to if you have money you should give it to the poor for 2 reasons. 1 because money you only need so much and anymore more is a temptation for loving it more than god. 2 love your neighbor as yourself. would you let yourself starve? Or go without clean cloths? Of course not so why would you allow your neighbor to when you have more than you need? |
