Tell me America
Why is John 3:16
more important
than
Matthew 19:21
This is Jesus telling you exactly how to be perfect
In John here.
John 3:16 is just a conversation. It is Jesus, yes. But it does not tell you how to be perfect. I would think it is more important to know how to be perfect.
I wonder how many Christians actually know what Jesus said in Matthew 19:21?
It says "possessions".
Plain and simple.
It does not say some.
It does not say half.
It does not say items but not money.
You can consider possessions
Another word for attachment
If you can't find the Lord.
And you are actually looking.
Get rid of what you keep.
Do not lie to me.
If you cannot find the Lord.
You are not following the instruction.
Jesus says you need to be born again.
3Jesus replied, โTruly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.aโ
Okay. How?
Now you have the teaching of how to be perfect.
Why do the preachers tell you to be born again, but do not teach you how to do it?
Are all in your congregation born again and saved? You no longer need to inform them of this teaching?
All these I have kept,โ said the young man. โWhat do I still lack?โ 21 Jesus told him, โIf you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.โ 22When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.โฆ
