HOW HARD IT IS TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

Jesus explains it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. HOW HARD IT IS TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
You must be converted and become as little children or you will not enter the Kindom of Heaven. He that is to be Great among you must be your Servant. He that is Greatest must be your Slave. Martha declares that Jesus is The Christ -- The Son of God who has come into The World.
He that Believes in Christ will Never Die

@glorytoyahweh1 ; TY, I accepted. : )

[MelodiesfromHeaven]

@glorytoyahweh1 ;

If you feel that God is telling you, that you need faith as a child......then listen to Him. And trust what He is saying to you. Remember, if you ask Him for understanding & revelation..He will give it to you! I have questions that I have asked God about, over 20 yrs ago (no joke) that he has just answered within the last two months(one of them today). That may seem way to long, however oddly enough I needed the answers now. : )

@glorytoyahweh1 ;

According to scripture, we already have a measure of faith. Some more than others. Once again, I believe that this scripture is referring to receiving the Kingdom of God. I believe that it is the topic of the conversation. Although, children are much more inclined to walk in love, and have less "stumbling blocks" or hindrances than adults. I believe that the "children" is a reference or example, as we are all (believers) the "children" of God. That's just MO.

@glorytoyahweh1  3) Trust;The child has not yet learned to suspect the world. He still believes the best about others.

4) The child has a short memory. Even when he is unjustly treated--he forgets, and forgets so completely that he does not even need to forgive. *I personally believe that our greatest model, is Christ himself. If "we" live out 1 Corinthians 13, we will fulfill the law. Christ said that the greatest commandment is to Love God w/all our heart & to love our neighbor as ourselves.

@glorytoyahweh1 ; Continued.. blessed them. I believe that this scripture is in reference to receiving the Kingdom of God...and His righteousness. But I will directly answer your question, with the words of William Barclay.

1)Humility; A child has not yet learned to think in terms of place & pride & prestige.

2)Obediance;His natural instinct is to obey. He has not yet learned the pride & the false independence which seperate a man from his fellow-men and from God.

3)Trust;

@glorytoyahweh1 ;

O.k. That is Mark 10:13-16 Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not recieve the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it." And He took them up in His arms, laid hands on them, and

@glorytoyahweh1 ;

What is the scripture? There are more than one on children. I need to read the scripture before and after, in order to know the context in which Jesus was speaking. * I mostly read out of the Geneva/ King James (a more reliable translation, other than the Torah for OT) so the wording may be different, depending on your version. Mark 10:15 ?

@tsarenvy ;

It matters not, that you aren't a Christian. Despite what some may think, Christians are to search the scriptures and study them (like the Bereans, not taking for granted that what we have heard...is the truth). I've recently began to learn Hebrew (101...Lol) for that very reason. Believing in God, doesn't mean that I've checked my brain in at the door. So I do like to study...even (of course) outside the scriptures. I'm not interested in being right, but rather the truth. Thank you

[tsarenvy]

@MelodiesfromHeaven no worries

incidentally, i'm not a christian but i think jesus' maxim about rich people struggling to get to heaven is consistent to other things he said & did

i think the trouble people have is that when it was said there wasnt a middle ground - you had kings, then priest class and then everyone else and then slaves and lepers and the like

now we can be domestically poor but internationally wealthy and the saying ruffles peoples feathers

good luck with the research!
