Give all your money to the poor, and follow me.

RE: Give all your money to the poor, and follow me.
So you are saying that I should of focused on the treasure part and not the heaven part? You are stretching. I think that's pretty clear that Jesus is referring to him going to heaven from that, and you are just adding your own interpretation. None of your nitpicking takes away from my point anyway, which is that Jesus clearly commands people to live simple lives devoid of material possessions, if you don't agree you simply haven't read the bible unbiasedly.

As for Jesus being a carpenter until he was 30
A. There is no record of Jesus between the time he was 7 and 30
B. He definitely was not accumulating possessions between that time, and if he was he gave them all that way.
