Remember the Bible didn’t say it’s impossible to get into heaven. If you’re rich it just said it’s very difficult.

The reason for that is rich people generally don’t rely on him. They rely on their selves, and that is a bad idea because human beings make inherently bad choices when they become arrogant and rich.


And it’s entirely possible Billy Graham won’t go to heaven. I won’t be the judge of that.
Exactly i was wrong about it being impossible.

Being rich is often at odds with the bible

It isn't the fact they are rich. There are other stumbling blocks people have. That is just one of the most common ones.
Correct the rich part isn’t necessarily the reason it was already something they had inside them, but the rich part makes them not rely on God, but rely on their own understanding because rich people generally don’t feel the weight of their bad decisions as much as poor people.

I think the bible says its very hard
Indeed it does make it hard when you have a lot of wealth to walk the path with God. You have the same responsibility to act in ways to glorify God the same as anyone who gives their life with salvation and the path that follows.

thats too much.

theyve also gone to jail too which i havent done yet, but it couldve happened to me

when you stand with the oppressed eventually you are treated like the oppressed. jesus stood with them, got popular, and was killed.
What's the limit?

If you are rich and treating workers badly, and polluting, and being greedy it lowers your chances

I think if we dont fight to eliminate nukes, global warming, and things that bring hell on earth, were missing the point and wont be saved

Joseph campbell said heaven is here and now
