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.
have you heard about the fantastical re-interpretation of this passage that the rich have landed on? That there is a tiny gate in jerusalem called The Needle that would be difficult for a camel to get through with baggage. But it could be done, so it’s okay to have more than your share! It just means it’s a struggle!
a gate doesn’t have an eye
I didn’t come up with it 🤷🏼♀️
of course
just shows how flimsy their interpretation is
I heard this as far back as the 90s at a poor, tiny church.
It originally came from an Italian merchant in the 1100s. Before that it had never been mentioned as a gate, and the idea of fitting large mammals through eyes of needles was used by Jews in other areas. Someone in Constantinople used elephants. I think I heard this from religion for breakfast, or some other religious history YouTube guy. You can follow his sources though.
“No see, I wasn’t rich. It’s my friend’s money, I was just holding it for them, I swear!”
Based on all the Christians I’ve known (and it’s a LOT), he has nothing to worry about. He’s comfortably in.
I would donate many times that, if he’d try today. Try hard, Donald, and remember it’s “down the road”, not “across the street”.
The implication here is that he does not believe that he is currently eligible to get into heaven. Perhaps something to do with his friendship with Epstein and their escapades?
Doesn’t really sit right with me that the sitting president is fundraising / asking for money during their second and supposed to be final term.
$15 for him to shuffle off this mortal coil? You sonuva bitch, I’m in!
I’m all in favour for him going in the afterlife part… be it heaven or else.
add televangelist to the list.
So now he has an LLM not only writing critical government reports and badly coding WH websites, but his fundraising emails as well.
