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.

Just curious but why do you say I'm lying? I mean I am not trying to convince anyone about what I'm saying, but why specifically you think I'm lying? I believe I have a way to prove what I'm saying.

But first tell me which part of what I'm saying you can't believe to know how to answer.

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.

Why does they need heaven if they already have technology to live forever?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
