GUEST,jim tailor	BS: Christians -- Moral vs 'Moral' (59* d)	RE: BS: Christians -- Moral vs 'Moral'	07 Feb 05
That's a good'n, MofH!! The ol' "But MOM.......He's doing it too!!" defense! It doesn't work... There is no cause and effect relationship between greed and envy. One does not cause the other. (In fact, there is no guarantee that one's greed will even net them the wealth that the envious envy). Do you really want me to give (what I believe to be) a reasonable interpretation of the "eye of the needle" passage? (it doesn't involve a mythical gate called the "eye of the needle"). The Bible speaks very highly of many wealthy people. It speaks very highly of being industrious as well. It condemns... 1. those wealthy who do not care for the poor. 2. those wealthy who mistakenly assume there wealth will buy them an "in" with God, or a superior station in life (extra human rights).
