            For your own sake and that of people you know, please get professional help for your dishonesty fetish. Every time you double down it just becomes more embarrassingly obvious. You are writing lies that nobody is even reading – that is your life now.

            The scandal wasn’t that rich people in general probably wouldn’t go to heaven, but that seemingly righteous people wouldn’t go to heaven.

            George Bush is rich. It is easier for a camel to pass thru the eye of a needle than for George W Bush to enter heaven. How could Jesus be any more blunt than that? It is not merely difficult it is impossible for an ordinary rich person to go to heaven.

            You can have wealth and those attributes

            Only the extraordinary person who can achieve what Jesus bluntly says is almost impossible. Why would anybody who takes this stuff at all seriously risk eternal damnation by attempting a path that Jesus says is almost impossible? The answer is that they don’t actually take it seriously and just ignore all the stuff in the bible they don’t like.

            The message here is that wealth doesn’t indicate favor with God and it cannot save you, so you should focus on what can save you.

            The message clearly was that the only practical way for a rich person to go to heaven was to redistribute all their wealth to the poor.
