The likeness of it being mistranslated so heavily that it says rich people can enter heaven as easily as normal people in the original is next to impossible

2019-08-21 22:30:18 UTC  

You are attempting to provide unfounded reason for it

2019-08-21 22:30:19 UTC  

Dude

2019-08-21 22:30:22 UTC  

I just told you

2019-08-21 22:30:29 UTC  

The Greek word for camel is Kamelos

2019-08-21 22:30:39 UTC  

The word for thick rope or cable is Kamilos

2019-08-21 22:30:45 UTC  

It's a one letter difference

Matthew 6:24

2019-08-21 22:30:55 UTC  

**Matthew 6:24 - Good News Translation (GNT)**

```Dust
God and Possessions

<24> "You cannot be a slave of two masters; you will hate one and love the other; you will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. ```

2019-08-21 22:30:59 UTC  

Is this mistranslated?

2019-08-21 22:31:37 UTC  

I think the translations are correct, is there evidence to the contrary or are you going off of speculation?

James 5:1-6

2019-08-21 22:31:54 UTC  

**James 5:1-6 - Good News Translation (GNT)**

```Dust
Warning to the Rich

<1> And now, you rich people, listen to me! Weep and wail over the miseries that are coming upon you! <2> Your riches have rotted away, and your clothes have been eaten by moths. <3> Your gold and silver are covered with rust, and this rust will be a witness against you and will eat up your flesh like fire. You have piled up riches in these last days. <4> You have not paid any wages to those who work in your fields. Listen to their complaints! The cries of those who gather in your crops have reached the ears of God, the Lord Almighty. <5> Your life here on earth has been full of luxury and pleasure. You have made yourselves fat for the day of slaughter. <6> You have condemned and murdered innocent people, and they do not resist you. ```

Is this mistranslated?

Malachi 3:10: "'Bring to the storehouse a full tenth of what you earn so there will be food in my house. Test me in this,' says the Lord All-Powerful. 'I will open the windows of heaven for you and pour out all the blessings you need.

2019-08-21 22:32:11 UTC  

**Malachi 3:10 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<10> Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and thus put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts; see if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing. ```

2019-08-21 22:32:46 UTC  

And?

2019-08-21 22:33:07 UTC  

I'm back

2019-08-21 22:33:25 UTC  

@Лобања welcome back

2019-08-21 22:33:39 UTC  

There is nothing wrong with having money, but you cannot serve money and serve god. God advocates for the giving to his church freely, and those who are more financially blessed should give more of what they have

2019-08-21 22:33:53 UTC  

@Deleted User I never said there is nothing wrong with having money

2019-08-21 22:34:01 UTC  

BRUH

2019-08-21 22:34:05 UTC  

I said being obscenely rich is sinful

2019-08-21 22:34:09 UTC  

That's what I've been saying this entire time

2019-08-21 22:34:13 UTC  

Okay

2019-08-21 22:34:16 UTC  

So riddle me this

2019-08-21 22:34:18 UTC  

If bill gates

2019-08-21 22:34:27 UTC  

Gave 20% every year to his church

2019-08-21 22:34:34 UTC  

20% of what he had

2019-08-21 22:34:38 UTC  

Would you be okay with that?

2019-08-21 22:34:42 UTC  

No

2019-08-21 22:34:56 UTC  

Let's assume he has 100B

2019-08-21 22:34:59 UTC  

He gives 20B

2019-08-21 22:35:03 UTC  

Why does he need 80B

2019-08-21 22:35:23 UTC  

Why does his money concern you?

2019-08-21 22:35:28 UTC  

Why not give away all his money to charity and God and only keep what he needs to keep his mansion running and stuff

Oh spare me the communist soapbox

2019-08-21 22:35:47 UTC  

It's not communist

2019-08-21 22:35:54 UTC  

No one needs 100 billion

2019-08-21 22:36:04 UTC  

very true
