When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
That’s not a metaphor. The camel thing was a colorful metaphor to demonstrate the point.
That’s luke 18:22
Most people who call themselves Christians do a piss poor job of it. Some of them then go “oh well I’ll be forgiven it’s okay”. That’s not really following the intent. That’s trying to take advantage of someone’s kindness.
This is why I stopped being Christian. I recognized that whatever good in me would be forever obscured if I used God as a shroud, and I was 100% prone to simply saying ‘sorry God, nbd yeah?’ .
It’s also the reason I just don’t trust Christians or Christian knockoffs (Mormons). You can’t.
