Reply #27: fine. here are some quotes. Context is VERY clear [View All]

I believe Mel Gibson could be described as "rich".

Mt 19:24 -
"Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

Mr 10:25 -
"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

Lu 18:25 -
"For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

And here's the main quote that I was remembering:

Luke 12:22-40
22 And He said to His disciples, "For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. 23 "For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 "Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds! 25 "And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life's span? 26 "If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters? 27 "Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 28 "But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith! 29 "And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep R584 worrying. 30 "For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things. 31 "But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you. 32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom. 33 "Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys. 34 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Context seems pretty freaking clear to me.

Lovers of money are frowned upon:

Lu 16:14 -
Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were scoffing at Him.
