Have you read the whole section?

>23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” 26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

I'll lay this out to make it super easy for you:
>23 Its hard for a rich guy to enter heaven
>24 Its easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich guy to enter heaven
>25 The disciples were astonished, "Who then can be saved?"
>26 With man this is impossible but with God all things are possible

The funny thing about this is it's actually proving the exact opposite of what the left is trying to get at. Look at 25, the disciples are astonished and say "who then can be saved?" the implication being not that rich people are evil but rich people are better than people in general, but even those rich people are not good enough to be saved.

>exact opposite of what the left is trying to get at.
the left, because thats a single amorphous thing, right. but the right, thats many things all different and independent, intelligent, etc. when you use a sensible reply, and your was, to add you own polemic thoughts you weaken your argument.

Still. To be rich in modern times, you have to participate in usury.

Which is forbidden in the old and new testament.

Was illegal in most Christian countries for over 1000 years.

Even Luther wrote diatribes against usury and the merchant class.

So no. You cannot be a good Christian and practice capitalism because if you do it, it shows that you have no faith in Jesus Christ the lord. You'd rather have worldly pleasures instead of accepting the love of God in the after life.

Least the Orthodox Christians will be saved:

Oh right, #notallleftists. Obviously I'm referring to the left-wingers that use this sort of argument which is exceedingly common and is completely destroyed by reading three lines on.

>>3031755

There has been many laws throughout history against usury, there still are for that matter in most western countries even if they don't use that word, but usury has never referred to all interest.

What did I say that was wrong? This is a genuine question, I very much like having the truth and if I am in error I would like that to be fixed, but saying you don't like what I said isn't an argument.

>>3031808

Were Christians wrong for an entire thousand years?

I mean the Jews only got around it because the old testament said don't charge interest to your brother which mean only other Jews, so they became money lenders to Christians while Christians were forbidden from giving loans to each other.

After Luther died, they seemed to move the goal posts by changing the definition of what usury really was.

To be fair, Muslim banks try to do this too, but coming up with profit sharing schemes that seem to hand wave and say its not usury because you are a partner in the business.

Again, if I am wrong, then why did the Christians only use Jews to get loans in the middle ages?

>Again, if I am wrong, then why did the Christians only use Jews to get loans in the middle ages?


They didn't in short. There has always been disagreement on what exactly usury is but that almost never, if ever, included all loans.
