I listened to a preacher talked about “money as a missionary“ and by that he meant that money is useful for mission and (the) ministry. So many reasonable,acceptable and objective obvious points he raised aside (for the sake of driving home a point) that he noted that all the people Jesus visited (their homes) to dine with are all wealthy people. Can anybody justify and tell me the significance of the point he noted about Jesus' visit to those people? Was Jesus really trying to pass a message? Please note that I know about Jesus' teaching about money. |

Jesus visited some wealthy people but his his visit and their wealth were only coincidences . It wasn't based on their wealth . We can't say Martha and mary were rich just becsuse she gave a very expensive perfume . Rich people don't do prostitution. |

Joagbaje: @bolded. I agree fully. They were mere coincidences. Nothing more |

@Jo and candor Worse,it would contradict some of his teachings. If the point he (the preacher) made is based on a strong conviction of his belief that money is that important so much that christ only visited those people,then,I am really sorry for him (the preacher) |

anukulapo: @Jo and candor I feel sorry for such a preacher too if he feels Jesus Christ was so moved by money. He obviously does not know Jesus Christ yet. |

Since Jesus Christ knows that it is easier for a camel to go through they eye of a needle than a rich man making heaven, so I wanna believe that Jesus Christ was trying to see what He can do via personally evangelising to them! And that it is "mere coincidence", WRONG. Jesus is omniscience. He knows their status before visiting! |
