"December 3, 2018"     "Prompt: Seneca said, “A great fortune is a great slavery.” What might such a great fortune be and do you agree with Seneca’s claim?"The word of God says it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven. Many misinterpret this to say it is impossible for a rich man to be saved since a camel would never pass through a needle's eye. However the eye of the needle in Jesus' time referred to a city gate that required the camels to be unloaded and to kneel to enter it. It was difficult but certainly not impossible. By the expression above found in Matthew 19: 24 and other New Testament passages Jesus was saying that riches would become a stumbling block for people. Therefore I agree with Seneca's statement. Riches or great fortune becomes slavery. Money rules. Prompt: "Do you prefer homemade gifts or store bought? Do you exchange food gifts? Clothing? Or Gift cards?"I don't guess it makes much difference. I personally wish Christmas never came around. Call me a humbug but it is so commercialized it is sickening. I don't have money for it so people are lucky if they get anything from me.    |
