Subject: RE: Folklore: Was Jesus a folkie?
Jesus was in fact a bit of a lefty. How else could you describe someone who said and did the following;

(Matthew 1923-26; Mark 1023-27; Luke 1824-27).

"Again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

(Luke 16:13).

"You cannot serve God and wealth"

(Matthew 6:19-20)

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasurer is, there your heart will be also."

(Mark 10:21)

When the rich man asked Jesus how he could get into heaven, Jesus replied "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me."
