Because Mr. Nick, it's hard for a rich man to enter Heaven.
Or.......did you miss the reference?
Actually, as you would know... if you understood what the bible says... it is not so much 'hard' because of the money - it is 'hard' if rich people covet their wealth over their relationship with God and their duty to their fellow man. Taking one line from the bible to justify a belief is as stupid as taking one sentence from a politician. Context, GayBiker, context.
Cali has it.
Its ok to be rich or wealthy as long as you use your wealth/riches/good fortune to positively help those around you.
That passage doesn't say that you can't be wealthy if you want to get into heaven like Biker is trying to misrepresent it to say.
If that's true, then why did the rich man turn away disappointed and sad when Yeshua told him that if he wanted to follow Him, he should give away all he has?
