when jesussaves says i need to study, does he mean that christians don't beleive that a virtuous life is one of poverty?
i'm genuinely inetersted to know why the bible seems to preach poverty, yet very very few christians seem to deliberately avoid the trappings of wealth and are as greedy and money obsessed as anyone else. have i missed the point of the new testament? am i wrong, is poverty not an important part of the teachings of christ? was the sermon on the mount just made up?
we have the alpha course in england, which is aimed at getting people to reconnect with christianity, but they seem to think that faith and truning up to chruch is more important than actually leading a life like jesus did.
