No, Jesus wouldn’t tell me to do that—that was just for the person He was talking to in the Bible.<\/p>\n
Such as . . .?
\n+”Sell all you have, give it to the poor, and come follow Me.”
\n+”You feed them.”
\n+”Let the little children come to Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God.” DON’T KILL THEM—Don’t “send them away,” as the disciples said.
\n+”Don’t lay up treasures on earth.” (as in the typical American retirement portfolio)
\n+”Where your treasure is, there your heart WILL BE ALSO.”
\n+”Lay up treasure in heaven.” (can’t lay it up in heaven and keep it on earth)
\n+”If you see your brother or sister in need, and shut up your bowels of compassion, how does the love of God dwell in you?”
\n+”Do good to all people, especially to those of the household of faith.”

\nThe devil’s first words, to Eve, effective ever since:
\n“Did God really say . . .?”
\nWhat if Jesus asked you to do something uncomfortable, to give up . . ., to give away . . .?
\nYou might ought to listen, and do it.
\nLearn from Adam and Eve—it boils down to a simple choice, not rationale.
\nAre you afraid to go against the grain of history?
