Good for them, I guess?
"Again I tell you, 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.”
But, but The eye of a needle was a market with a small gate and if you only had a reasonable load on your camels then they could pass through so it's actually ok for rich people to exist /s
That cope from Conservative Christians™️ is always funny. Similar statements show up in the Talmud. A large animal passing through the eye of a needle was a common idiom in Jewish culture at the time to demonstrate impossibility.
I wish they had just said, “look bro, I don’t even need an idiom. I’m just going to tell you. If you’re rich, you’re going to Hell. You can’t exploit people and hoard resources and be in God’s good graces at the same time. Just being rich means that you’re ok walking by misery and not helping. Bro, you can’t have it like that.”
You'd still have wealthy Christians being like "okay, but what did Jesus mean by this?"
You’re absolutely right haha.
“I flicked a nickel to a hobo today. Streets uh’ gode!”
It's a mistranslation of "sturdy rope", which indeed would not pass through the eye of a needle.
I was expecting this exact quote. Never fails to put a smile on my face.
Not according to Supply Side Jesus
"Another coin in the coffer rings, another soul into heaven springs."
