Chatpilot Wrote:Pope I don't think that this text qualifies as a contradiction I actually agree with GC on this one somewhat. All this text is saying that it is more difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than the average Joe. Being rich poses a lot of challenges to a believer that are not common to a man or woman of average means.

Well, yes, now I've looked at it, most commentators certainly take it that way, so I'll have to concede GC that point. I have always taken it to mean "no entry". You live and learn. Thinking

However, my error does support my point that the 'word of god', which should be couched in clear terms if we are to live by it, is in fact mostly obscure and ambiguous about the really important stuff.
