[QUOTE="VCR-2000, post: 76939127, member: 415812"] I can relate to the rich man that Jesus told the parable in Mark 10:17-31. Jesus instructed him flat-out to sell everything he had and the man soured, and the implication that if he didn't he would be punished for the rest of eternity. Not that giving to the poor isn't a good thing, it is one thing to want to give up or abstain from a part of your assets you earned, but giving up everything sounds like a boring life, God could've said that you can both enjoy and worship to him while enjoying your other areas of life, and that it isn't necessarily incompatible. My skepticism is that orthodox traditional Christianity must be a religion or belief only for purely ascetic monks, just wishing to be thanking in praise to somebody for the rest of eternity for the sake of praising.
