Subj : You are all going to Hell To : Jeff Thiele From : Lee Lofaso Date : Thu Aug 25 2022 03:26:44 Hello Jeff, CA>> Not sure what your reading, but im certain Christ never said people CA>> who commit sins are not welcome in Heaven. JT> "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich JT> man to enter the kingdom of God." -- Jesus The quote, attributed to Jesus, is an allusion (or reference) to an opening in the wall surrounding the city of Jerusalem. This opening is only large enough to allow a camel (without baggage) to enter into the city. In the gospel, it is used to express a religious truth, in a way most people of that time could easily understand. JT> Are rich men not welcome in Heaven? What can you take with you? Like the camel going through "the eye of the needle", it could carry no baggage. JT> Might they be guilty of one of the seven deadly sins? Money is the root of all evil. Which explains why Jesus dressed in rags, and never worked a day in his life. JT> The idea that too many sins keep one from Heaven, though, is mostly JT> attributable to John of Patmos, the author of the Book of Revelation. There is only one sin that can never be forgiven. JT> It is in that book that the Judgment Day is discussed, and Jesus' separating JT> the sheep from the goats, etc. Matthew 25. CA>> I guess you can believe what you want, or interpret how you feel, CA>but JT> that doesnt make it true. JT> Right back at ya. Is truth relative? Or absolute? I would hate to meet someone who knows the truth. For Life, Lee -- Love! Not hate! Makes America great! --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: news://eljaco.se:4119 (2:203/2) .
