- coleifer 8y agoNot quite. I don't know what the church is nor can I speak about it's motivation. I'm speaking about the gospel. Matthew 19:23 specifically: Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. It's a rare thing for Jesus to make a pronouncement like that in the text. Which leads me to believe it's an important part of his teaching.
- drdeca 8y agoI think that 19:23-26 may be more clear than 23 by itself? Also, out of curiosity, what translation is that?
