19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
I guess if someone gave you thier computer, you are poor and probably not going to heaven

Wow, pretty harsh interpretation! Lol.
Don't complete yourself with material things. Find value in acts of kindness.

One of the reasons man created heaven is his fear of death. So, with a belief in heaven, he no longer has to fear death. Another reason man created heaven was so that poor people would accept their blight and not cause any trouble. So, tell the poor that when they'll be rich when they get to heaven, everything will be better for them there, and the streets will be lined with gold.
"Oh OK, I'll just sit here and suffer quietly then, if I'm gonna be rich when I get to heaven."

Oh, that was to the rich young ruler. Jesus made a point because the guy said, "I've kept those commandments since I was young." The first five deal mostly with God... The second five deal mostly with man.
The rich young ruler had another god. Money. So Jesus said, "Give it or or you cannot enter Heaven." The rich young ruler refused to give it up because he had so much.
Jesus may have tested him... The minute the rich young ruler decided to give up his money... Jesus said, "you know what keep your money... This is what I want you to do..."
We'll never know because the rich young ruler turned away sad because he didn't want to give up his riches.

That is exactly what Jim Jones said right before he said:
"EVERYONE DRINK THE KOOLAID"

You can get your halo polished at the barber shop. I guess your hair doesn't grow after you are dead.
