Our modern-day Pharisees don’t like the scriptures of the Gospel of the Grace of Christ like, “God who justifies the ungodly” (Romans 4:5). Same bunch Jesus encountered in his time. Self-righteous hypocrites. The only people Jesus severely rebuked.

[Mrs. Don-o]

The only individual in all the Gospels who refused Jesus' healing was the "rich young man".

Note the irony:

"And he went away sad, because he had many possessions."

BTW it was one of those lessons that so impressed people, that the episode is told three times: It appears in the Gospel of Matthew 19:16-30, the Gospel of Mark 10:17-31 and the Gospel of Luke 18:18-30

It amazes me seeing the number of “so-called Christians” on here that are wanting Kanye to fail so they can claim “righteousness” just like the Pharisees of old. I find that disappointing and disgusting. These are the same kind of people that turned me away from religion years ago. It wasn’t until I found a Grace-based church that I became a true follower of Jesus. I then learned about a relationship with my Savior over “following a religion”. What a wonderful life I have now.
