Doesn't say that. It says that he was sad. He obviously believed in Jesus - the belief itself was not enough; he needed to do. His salvation was in jeopardy not because of Christ, not because of unbelief, but because his deeds put that salvation into doubt.

What was his stumbling block? Money. Sad because he would have to give it up - he wanted things his way. It's not that he had to give it up, Jesus was showing him what he loved more - money.

Read the words of Jesus, instead of the words that you may think or want Him to say.

His belief was not TOTALLY on Jesus. Walking with Jesus is a FAITH walk. He wanted the security of his money. It had nothing to do w/his deeds, it's had everything to do with his hardened heart. Anything put before Jesus - that's the area where one has a hardened heart.

A faith walk? More peculiar gibberish from the children of the Reformation? Read your own paragraph here. It is about his deeds, or rather, lack of them, which has imperilled his immortal soul. Belief in Jesus is required, but not enough on its own.

Your problem is that you don't know His Word. You cite a Scripture and add what you think and it shows you don't know his whole Word and what HIS KINGDOM is all about.

More proof that you are clueless about HIS KINGDOM. FAITH!! YES FAITH!! "Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God". The RCC is worst that I thought - walking by faith and not by sight is called gibberish.

You lack so much knowledge so you can't understand what I wrote. It's NOT about his deeds - it's about his heart.

"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."
