    It goes on, you know.

    When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

    Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

    It’s bad enough when Christians cherry pick from the Bible. No need to stoop to their level.

      The entire point of this thread is about cherry-picking. LMAO

      You’re right that there’s more, but I read that as “If you save your money, as man recommends, it is impossible, but if you follow my teachings and give away your wealth, it is possible.” The whole New Testament is full of ambiguity. It’s literally a 2000 year old choose your own adventure book.
