When you sold your possessions and gave to the poor, was there much paper work involved?

Did you need an attorney, or was the process simple enough that you did it without help?

What have you found to be the hardest thing about being poor?

 
 
Matt. 24

20The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

21Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

23Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

 

 

You have somehow confused ME with this THOU person.

 

Is ALL of your bible knowledge this misapplied?

You left a few words unreddened:

23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

By any current or historical measure, most people in the Western world are rich. You have material things that were not available to rich men at any price 2,000 years ago. I'm afraid if the NT is literally true, you'll be joining most of the rest of humanity in the lake of fire!
