Good article. That’s the correct interpretation. If you get to the last paragraph of it, you’ll see it is what I have been saying all along.Having engaged in enough sophistry I'll come right and say what I think. Too many Americans, conservatives especially, don't worship god. They may think they do, but really they worship Mammon.
The amusing revisionist gymnastics that go on with the camel passage are just one example of that.
Ketsu, there’s no gymnastics. It’s the correct interpretation, even according to the articles that you cited in your defense. It is the correct interpretation according to 2,000 years of Christian scholarship. It is the correct interpretation according to the Catecism of the Catholic Church.
The ONLY reason that this passage is ever interpreted the way you are interpreting it, is because a bunch of socialists want to get their own Mammon worshipping mitts on property that does not belong to them and they had no part in producing. They are doing this because they are filled with arrogance and envy.
I will grant that there are so-called ‘Christians’ that worship Mammon and do not follow the principles that I detailed above, but as long as they are not stealing, it doesn’t matter nearly as much as the clear violations of Commandments 7 and 9 that are so prominent in our society.
There’s no revisionism here Ketsu. There’s only an argument you can’t seem to support. Please read the article that you linked to. It states the case much better than I can.
