So what does this really mean in the Bible? Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”… Your Thoughts?? I sure have my Thoughts>>But Yours First Please.

I sure have my Thoughts>>But Yours First Please. You are jumbling different things together into that question. It is not a single passage you are paraphrasing.
In the case of doing the will of the Father, that is pretty plain. We know the will of the Father as a result of the teachings in the Bible. It is not just enough to believe, but we must obey the Lord.
The reason why it is so hard for rich men and women to get to heaven is because they will often trust in their riches, not God. We are taught to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things will be added to us, not to seek riches. It did astonish the disciples when they heard this, and Jesus said that all things are possible with God. He is able to save a rich man that will put his trust in the Lord. There are wealthy people that have been saved.

1% lie effects that leaven in the Whole Bread. You never posted any actual scripture, but just paraphrased some and jumbled them together. You asked what I believe it means, and I told you.

Hi John, Discernment John the ability to judge well. That is subjective. You will believe you are discerning things well, and I will believe I am discerning things well.

Hi John you never did say why Jesus talked in Parables !! Why I will be Waiting for t5he thread! He was speaking to the multitudes when he spoke in parables. It was a fulfillment of prophecy, that seeing they would not see, and hearing they would not hear and be saved. It also is a matter of not casting pearls before swine. Remember that when Jesus spoke in parables, it was always to the multitudes, not his disciples. He would expound the truth to them.

OK J >we have you Here >What dos Narrow is the way mean in the BIBLE? The narrow way in the Bible is following Jesus Christ. It is placing our faith in Him, and obeying Him. There is no other name given under heaven whereby we must be saved. If we believe that, and we follow Jesus, He will lead us down the narrow path that leads to the straight gate and eternal life.
