Republicans and Christian religion

Whenever the election process is going on I hear a lot from the Republicans about how they are very religious oriented, namely Christian. Republicans are more for the business man and many of them are wealthy. What confuses me, in the Bible it is said that it would be more difficult for a wealthy man to get to heaven than it would be a for a camel to go through the head of a needle.

Jesus said that after he told the rich man to give away everything and follow him. The fact that he could not part with his money in order to serve God made him loose his place in heaven. That is the case with lots of rich people so is indeed more difficult for rich people to go to heaven. The other obstacle for them is how they get and manage their money. God bless people with material wealth so nothing wrong with being rich as long as money don't rule your life. That verse is a warning that money can easily become more important than God. It does not imply that Christians should not be rich.
Nam,

I do not question the patriotism of either party. Thank you for sharing the information about Republicans.

cheers
Hello Ek,

True. However, it does not discount the statement made about the rich and their journey to heaven.

Hmmm Ek,

laugh you are right, they never specified the size of the particular eye Jesus spoke of. rolling on the floor laughing

Also, Jesus was not very pleased with the person who did not turn his money into more. confused

Maybe that part was about one's character....resourcefulness and willingness to give that away.

vs.

a lack of those characteristics; therefore, no sacrifice given.

dunno

Thanks for the complication. laugh
