Jeremy thanks for your comments alot of this i never really thought about before until you provoked me
to seek the truth in the word it is what we all should be doing finding the truth for ourselves God wants
to reveal mysterys if we are open
to hear.If we have been christians awhile we just take the word of whoevers preaching or whichever clip we see on god tube its knowledge but not revelation.Because the story sounds plausible we tag that on
to our belief for example for many years i believed that the
rich young rulers problem was money so the way
to deal with that problem is
to give it away and be a follower of Jesus sounds plausible.Till you realise every believers situation is different so the message has
to be universal.So the reason its not about money because it excludes those that do nt have it and does nt make room for those that do have it but do nt worship it.The
rich young ruler was not a bad person he lived
by a good moral code but he made money his idol he put that before God.The word says we shall not have any idols thats a sin and a wicked one.In fact there wasnt any room in his heart for Jesus that is a tragedy.So when we see the message is about Idolatry we all have areas that we chose not
to submit
to God thats universal everyone of us whether we are
rich or poor.I believe we are unaware that we have these idols what are some of them that was revealed
to me our partners our children our work our church our family i can sense some of you are getting fidgetty.
