pretty sure jesus wouldn't be against lawyers, he was a rabbi.

It was a calling to consecrated life. Absolute poverty, absolute chastity, and absolute obedience. The fact that the rich man refused only proves that he wasn't really following the first commandment: God is above everything.

THE «RICH MAN» WAS NOT REFUSED; HE HIMSELF WALKED AWAY.

CHRISTIANITY IS NOT PAUPERISTIC; CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE IS NOT ANTITHETICAL TO MUNDANE WEALTH, NOR TO MUNDANE PREEMINENCE; THE PROBLEM IS SACRIFICING ETERNAL LIFE FOR THE MORTAL ONE; THE KINGDOM FOR THE WORLD, AND THIS IS SOMETHING IN WHICH IT IS INCURRED BY BOTH: «RICH», AND «POOR», BUT «THE RICH» ARE MORE PRONE TO LOSE THEMSELVES IN THE WORLD DUE TO THEIR GREATER STAKE IN IT, RELATIVE TO «THE POOR».

PAUPERISM DOES NOT EQUATE TO SALVATION, AS WEALTH DOES NOT ENTAIL DAMNATION; IT IS NOT A PROBLEM OF WEALTH AGAINST DEARTH, BUT, RATHER, ONE OF HVMILITAS CONTRA SVPERBIA.

NO ESTOY EN DESACUERDO, EL RESTO ME PARECE MUY BIEN. EL CASO ES QUE EL JOVEN RICO TENÍA UNA VOCACIÓN RELIGIOSA, POR ESO LE HABLA A JESÚS DE ¨SER PERFECTO¨¨. ESTA PERFECCIÓN PERSIGUE LA ¨SEMEJANZA A CRISTO¨, QUE CONLLEVA SU IMITACIÓN EN LA MÁS ESTRICTA LITERALIDAD.

It’s really that simple. Protestant mega churches will sell devotionals that rationalize that’s its ok be rich but is just straight up not what the big man said.
