Mark 10:19-24
"Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
"And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
"Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
"And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
"And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
"... Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

Mark 10:28-30
"Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
"And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
"But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life."

The falling dollar, natzi like forign coverage, and a likewise devotion to palms and sales of palms in the interior maximum sector.. be certain whats substantial between feeding the undesirable and saving your soul... yet reps and dems and any political philosphy aside. Theres something extraordinarily incorrect with the international now.. isnt there.

There is no single agency in America, including the US government, that renders more aid to the poor and needy than the Christian Church. Question: Why weren't you working at a food bank today instead of posing that ridiculous question? Is your view of Christianity solely limited to a bunch of slick fellows on TV? If so, you miss just about the entire picture. There are millions of Mother Teresas out there who never get the publicity they deserve but don't chase. Check it out. And for pity's sake, stop being so childish.

FYI - The eye of the needle is a low archway into an ancient city. The camels would have to lower their heads and neck to get through which was hard for them. So that means it is hard for a wealthy person to enter the kingdom of heaven but not impossible.

Your last four questions concern Christianity and the poor.
Do you have an issue?
Matthew 26:11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
Mark 14:7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
John 12:8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
Let us know about your donations as well.
Have a great day.

I gather you walk around rescuing people from starvation. I hope we hear more about your fine work on DATELINE or whatever.
You know,I've read several of your entries. You really seem pretty moronic. Why don't you take up gardening and let the kid play on the computer.

So are you saying that we should NOT help the poor become wealthy as it would prevent them from going to heaven?
