He said it was impossible, but that God can make even impossible things come true. I always saw it as “I’m not gonna torture anyone in hell, but I can’t just say that outright because a lot of you guys are assholes and would take advantage of it”.
Then again, I’m not a Christian, if you can’t tell.
And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
The entire point of this thread is about cherry-picking. LMAO
You’re right that there’s more, but I read that as “If you save your money, as man recommends, it is impossible, but if you follow my teachings and give away your wealth, it is possible.” The whole New Testament is full of ambiguity. It’s literally a 2000 year old choose your own adventure book.
Except for those that hoard wealth. He pretty much said they go to hell no matter what. lol

Nah, he was straight up calling it ungodly.

It goes on, you know.
It’s bad enough when Christians cherry pick from the Bible. No need to stoop to their level.
