Just one? Maybe I can help you out. Mark 10:21: "Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me."

Come clean Jack, you are not telling the truth. I hope you become mature one day. Everyone dies, that isn't in question. Like I said Jack, I know it. YOU DON'T, or else you would produce it, and then be shown how you lack in reading comprehension by taking something totally out of context, and you don't want to be exposed as a fool again. Prove it Jack. Produce the exact quotes.
Just showing you there are different versions of "Gods Word". How do you know which is correct if any?
See the post before your one. Now, you could do one of two things here. 1) Be humble, admit you were wrong, and that I was right. 2) Be arrogant, dig your heels in. Your god will not be happy with you for this one.

First you have to have something in order to have something else. This is elementary physics and logic. Now, go to the beginning and explain how all the energy, matter and space of the universe came from absolutely NOTHING!
To a rich young man who wanted to reach the Kingdom of God. Do you not want to reach the kingdom of God? The first congregation in Jerusalem obviously did, because they did indeed sell all they had, shared everything and gave to the poor (Somewhere in Acts, look it up yourself, if you're interested) I reckon these early Christians where somewhat closer to the original teachings of Christ than we are now. After all some of them had heard Jesus preach with their very own ears. Face it: from the point of view of most American conservatives, Jesus was a bloody commie.

I'm already in the Kingdom of God. No they didn't. So you admit that you really don't know what was recorded. So, go sell all you have an give it to the poor so you can go to heaven. You will be disappointed to find that will not get you into heaven, just as the rich young man did. Wrong, because what you assert is twisted and not what happened.
Do you always deflect and post bull (*)(*)(*)(*)? Answer the question. Which version of the bible do you follow? Simple (*)(*)(*)(*)ing question.
Who says it came from nothing? Planets collide. Stuff happens. We are probably not even the only life forms in the universe.
Jesus also forecast the end of the world, in his lifetime. He got that wrong, as well. Most so called prophets got stuff wrong. They would do. It is educated guess work. One could easily appoint themselves as a prophet today, and make some vague predictions. Some they may get close to, others not.
You have a really hard time with comprehension Jack. Go all the way back to be beginning, before there were stars, galaxies, planets, and explain how all the energy, matter and space of the universe came from nothing. Planets are something and came from something else. Go all the way back to be beginning, before there were stars, galaxies, planets, and explain how all the energy, matter and space of the universe came from nothing. Irrelevant. Go all the way back to be beginning, before there were stars, galaxies, planets, and explain how all the energy, matter and space of the universe came from nothing.
He wasn't lying, he just got his priorities wrong. Most of us do. How about you? Are you willing to give all your possessions to the poor and follow Christ? Or are your priorities with your house, computer, car, bank-account ... ?
Prove it! Prove it. Prove it. You are good at regurgitating talking points from an atheist website but horribly lacking in evidence for those dogmatic assertions.
No, he was lying. He didn't really want to inherit eternal life and Jesus proved it by requiring of him the one thing he could not do. I don't have to, and neither did that rich young man. All that he really needed to do was to believe in Christ. You go sell everything you have an give it to the poor.
I doubt Junior has much interest in problems of biblical exegesis and translation. And its a long long time ago since I last had to scratch my head about it. My Greek was rubbish even back then, but Id still say youre probably best off with one of these if you really want to come as close as possible: http://biblos.com/mark/10-21.htm
That's what I'm doing now, dispelling these God haters horrible eisegesis and agenda driven twisting of snippets that they are really ignorant of.
