Overabundance leads the unconcious person to ecessive ego association. When this association provides recurring positive feedback loops and their overall suffering is minimal. There is no incentive to seek anything outside the endless pleasures of the earth. If they were to let their ego die(part of awakening), it would also be the death of their wealth identification. Something a strong ego just cannot allow.

Jesus said, "There was a rich man who had much money. He said, 'I shall put my money to use so that I may sow, reap, plant, and fill my storehouse with produce, with the result that I shall lack nothing.' Such were his intentions, but that same night he died. Let him who has ears hear."

Because most rich people cant accept tte fact that salvation is a free gift given to those that believe the gospel (Jesus is God, took your sins upon Himself, died on the cross, and was resurrected). You have to understand that it's a free gift to receive it. Rich people are prideful and cant accept that and would rather work themselves into heaven by being good or doing good deeds etc. things that are dependent on what they do and how they live rather than what Jesus did, rather than just fully trusting in Jesus.

The eye of the needle refers to the yokes that they used to park their camels in or something.
To get into the yoke, the camel has to get on it's knees and allow the human to place the yoke.
I believe the quote was something to do with wealth reducing an individuals subservience. It's difficult for a rich man to get on his knees, even before god. Or something like that.

It means the same as the central message of all spiritual faiths and it's so fucking obvious why if you fags do any reading at all on the traditional perspective or perennialism

It means that a wealthy man, because he is rich and well taken care of, is unlikely to ever seek out his own spiritual growth and fulfillment because he is mired in maya, aka the illusion of the value of the material world
You've seen analogs of this your whole life, the kid who is oversheltered never learns resilience, the people on the generation ship in wall-e grow fat and lazy from never needing to do anything, people in Western nations have grown very soft compared to their ancestors even 100 years ago due to industrialization, etc
Similar to these analogs you all are probably weak in spirit
From never needing to be healthy, moral, strong, or good, you have grown degenerate either in body or mind or both
And the spiritual realm is virtually inaccessible to most people in the West due to the general course of involution

You can be rich and spiritually wise as well (like the buddha was) that point of data is irrelevant, but you must be completely unattached to your wealth, something only someone such as a holy king is likely to have the mental and spiritual fortitude to do

>> No.56019096

People often forget that Jesus was asked after, "how can anyone be saved then?" He responded, "Through God all things are possible."

to be entirely technical, Jesus was an Israelite, not and never a jew.
Abraham was an Israelite, but never a jew.
any time you see the word "Jew" it is a reference to anyone from the Israeli tribe of JUDAH.
they believe an entirely different interpretation of the scriptures and became extremely ass mad that the blessing was passed down to Joseph, and not them.
so "jews" by definition are not "gods chosen people" because the blessing was never passed down to the Tribe of Judah (where all modern day jews originated)
people forget there were 12 tribes of israel because the tribe of Judah has spent billions on propaganda engineering to make sure the illiterate (most people) have no idea this is the reality of the situation.

inb4 some turbo assmad JEW from the Tribe of Judah tries to refute this. protip, all the Jews in the tribe of Judah even do is cope, seethe, eat hot chips, and lie.

>> No.56021116

>>56020682
I promise I'm not a turbo assmad jew, but I remember having discussions as a teenager with my grandmother about Jesus's genealogy. The crux of the argument that he was a Messiah depended on his direct male lineage from King David - this was used to convince a lot of Jews during Jesus's time that he was a messenger of God. Back then, there was no mention of an immaculate conception - which certainly contravenes the idea that Jesus was a jew.
If he was a direct male-lineage descendent of King David, that would make him a member of the tribe of Judah and therefore a jew. If he truly was born of an immaculate conception, and literally the son of God, then he was not a jew.
I think this is all entirely besides the point though, because whether he was a jew by blood or not has no bearing on whether he rejected the degenerate rabbinic teachings of his time. Cleansing the temple wasn't so kosher, and the rabbis of the tribe of Judah certainly didn't accept him as one of their own.
Personally, I think a lot of this is ancient propaganda to push a narrative. It's hard to say what the truth is.
Also, the reason people forget the other tribes of israel is largely because they were eradicated both ethnically and culturally. AFAIK, the Samaritans are the only other tribe of israel that still exists today (and allegedly the Ethiopians are some cast of sect too but idk about all that.)

This. It is a religion for filthy, disgusting rabble. Always has been, always will be. To fully understand this you need to sort of understand pre-universal religions, where the point was to jealously guard your worship against outsiders rather than try to recruit every disgusting wretch you come across, a notion which would have baffled the ancients. Anyway, that is why it has been so successful up until now: it is memetically designed for growth, not exclusion.

I think this is one of the hidden gems in the bible. A lot of what was in the bible was false but there are some truths within it (same with the Koran etc.)

Fact is most religions are not "mystical" at all with their origins. They were simply written by a small family/group within the elites of their respective origin countries. We know that Christianity was developed by the Hebrews and partnered to obtain power through the empire with Constantine and introduce Pagan europe to the Abrahamic dichotomic form of thinking

The phrase "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" is a biblical saying attributed to Jesus Christ. Its meaning has been interpreted in various ways, but it generally emphasizes the challenges that wealth and materialism can pose to one's spiritual journey. Some interpretations suggest that the "eye of a needle" could refer to a narrow gate or passage, highlighting the difficulty for the wealthy to detach from their possessions and prioritize spiritual values. While interpretations may vary, the core message is about the potential pitfalls of wealth and the importance of humility and spiritual focus.

israelites were a group of people who descended from a man named jacob, jacob was given the title israel

>I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
>But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me

this is because one of the descendants of israel was named judah, judah's descendants were judahites, judahites created the kingdom of jkudah
a group of people who didn't descend from judah took over the kingdom and killed the judahites
they then began larping as if they were part of the line of judah, thus pretended to be israelites but never were
>Note this: I will make those from the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Judahites and are not, but are lying — I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will know that I have loved you.

>"The western extremities of Judæa towards Casius are occupied by Idumæans(Edomites), and by the lake [Sirbonis], The Idumæans (Edomites) are Nabatæans (Caananite-Mixed Race), when driven from their country by sedition, they passed over to the Judaeans (The Kingdom of Judahites/Israelites), and adopted their customs.

>They [Edomites] killed Hyrcanus four years later and then they kicked out all the Judahites from the Temple.

so Jesus wasn't a jew because israelites nor even judahites were ever called jews
only the group that took over judea was called jews, jews created judaism and the talmud
the israelites never followed judaism or the talmud
they followed what was called the testament, now old testament

I heard the jews thought wealth meant you were blessed by God meaning a wealthy man must be righteous or he wouldn't be blessed with wealth. The next part is Jesus said through God all things are possible. So even a rich man can enter heaven through Jesus.
I had also heard eye of a needle was a specific gate into Jerusalem and camels could only enter if they removed all the luggage but I don't know if that's just a rich man's cope.
Either way, Jesus is the only path my friend.

Material wealth is worthless in compassion to spiritual wealth is the message. As the apostle Tyler Durden said, the things you own end up owning you.

Yeah well 2 verses after that, theres this one. Basically he's saying, "its nearly impossible for a rich man to be saved, but through God all things are possible". Because in order to get rich, you have to make evil jew decision #1, do you fuck a bunch of people over, or do you sell something to them that they need. Now, if they really want it or need it, theyre going to buy a lot of said thing. Now comes evil jew decision number #2, do you (A)-price gouge them or (B) charge just enough to cover operating costs? Okay so you chose B. Now your operation is gaining support exponentially.. Time for evil jew decision #3. With all these resources and all this power, do you (A) Join a secret society and start employing and importing only niggers in order to lower operating costs of hiring white people? And begin the death spiral, Or (B) NOT live in a giant mansion keep hiring white people, and the life cycle continues.

Being jewish isnt just a bloodline or fraternity, its a way of thinking, it is greed personified. Leaning towards materialism produces evil and slavery, while leaning towards spiritualism encourages life and happiness.
Thats what pic related is all about I feel like, yeah it may be hard for a rich man to enter heaven, but with god, its not impossible.
We were put here on this world to toil, not have someone else toil for us. This world is a test and if your first inclination is to cheat, youre probably failing.
