Maybe Christ should give up his wealth and follow me so me and Christ can smoke some highgrade weed together. That is if Christ has any wealth or even existed |

Well, it's good to always read the Word of God with understanding through the Holy Spirit. Jesus was trying to teach a very important lesson through that Scripture. The statement came to that man because Jesus saw that having kept every commandment, his ONLY shortcoming was the fact that he placed so much importance on his wealth. Mark 10:21 - Jesus told the man ".... one thing thou lackest, go thy way, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shall have treasure in heaven...." The man left with sorrow after that statement. Why? Because he placed so much importance on his wealth. He would rather have his possessions than follow Christ. The lesson isn't just for the rich, as long as you place a huge importance on wealth (believing being wealthy can solve all your problems), it will be difficult for you to submit to the will of God and without submission to His will, no man can follow him. If you're rich but believe not in your riches, and considers everything as secondary for His will alone to be done, then you can have possessions and still serve him the right way. Don't forget, our patriarchs of faith had possessions and still pleased God. So the problem is not with the possessions but the mindset. |

No for that particular Richman it is loves his unbridled love for wealth, primitive accumulation that is hindering him from going to heaven,just as we have many greedy, proud, boastful,MOGs that has made money/material possessions their god. |

golamike:Yea right, when did he do such? did you witness Christ do that? and oh! i don't remember asking Christ to give up anything for me. Christ should have asked for my permission first. That is if christ ever existed. |

If you a born again , you will be fill with the holy spirit and according to the word of God you will be lead by the holy spirit so if holy spirit is leading you to give away your wealth give but if holy spirit is not leading you to do so , don't. May the Lord bless you. |

onenaija001:giving up all you have is not monetary wise but in honouring God first in all you do.a Christian is not supposed to be poor but being poor can be your choice ..but we are all poor in the spirit a state of helplessness that only the grace of God can save us all |

Ezekiel36vs28: No one can lay claim to knowing it all when it comes to explaining the scriptures. This is the way you see it, that is the way he sees it and someone else might understand it differently. Yet that doesn't make any of you less a child of God. Stay blessed. |

WILLuKPquiet:It is not the way I see it but what that scripture is.God is the one who preached there to everyone of you reading it.Anyone born of the word of God and filled with His spirit will discern that God is the one who spoke there and not how you see it or think. |

Ezekiel36vs28: Guy you think too much of yourself. You are pride personified. If you disagree with another Christian do it with love and humility. Who confirmed it that your opinion on this issue is accurate? You must be seeing yourself dining with the angels in your dreams. 2 Likes |

WILLuKPquiet:Yes,and i am a Christ.God came down in form of a man as Jesus Christ to raise up men for himself called Christ or sons of God or messiahs or the word of God or Gods.There is no pride there but truth as declared by God concerning his children.Anyone who who has been baptized into Christ is a Christ.It is God’s doing which is marvelous in our sight. |

WILLuKPquiet:Now your position and understanding about who a son of God is might seem to emits humility but it is still wrong according to scriptures concerning anyone who is a son of God.A son of God is a Christ and accepting and walking in that knowledge is what is humility to God and not that your position.Brother let God’s ways be your way and His thoughts also become your thoughts.thanks |
Re: Must A Rich Man Give All He Has If He Wants To Follow Christ? by Ezekiel36vs28: 11:19am On Sep 21, 2020 |
WILLuKPquiet:you see my brother in Christ,I understand your position that you have not come to the knowledge of who a Christian is and therefore when you see or hear one who has come to that knowledge declare the truth you will assume it is pride not knowing that to God that is actually humility.When you come to full knowledge then you will understand that a Christian is a Christ and not just “Christ like”.thanks |
