    Nah, he was straight up calling it ungodly.

    And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

      It goes on, you know.

      When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

      Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

      It’s bad enough when Christians cherry pick from the Bible. No need to stoop to their level.

        The entire point of this thread is about cherry-picking. LMAO

        You’re right that there’s more, but I read that as “If you save your money, as man recommends, it is impossible, but if you follow my teachings and give away your wealth, it is possible.” The whole New Testament is full of ambiguity. It’s literally a 2000 year old choose your own adventure book.
