You didn't answer my first question with a specific Biblical verse. I'll wait for you to Google it or something.

What good would it do to give you a specific "Biblical verse"? What about the word "context" do you not understand, Belly? Read Romans, all of it---say Chapters 6 and 7 in particular. Or if you want to pick cherries, verses 7:12 & 7:16. Better yet, read the whole New Testament.

And do re-read the article. You just didn't get her point, either.

For my second question, you insisted I need context. Jesus didn't really mean it was incredibly difficult for a rich man to get into heaven (although that's exactly what he said). I've also heard it all depends on the meaning of "is", right?

Please. Don't try to make me think you're really interested in Biblical exegesis. Do you really think Jesus was equating being rich with being evil? Well, please do so. I'm sure the other guy you quote would agree with you.

I don't know about evil. I merely quoted Jesus as saying it would be real hard for a rich man to enter heaven. Like many modern cherry-picking Christians, you aren't comfortable with that, and all your silly name-calling and Clintonian context parsing doesn't change the obvious, simple meaning of Christ's words.
