Has God given you the courage and wisdom to help and lead your fellow man? Or do you plan to live alone, wrapped in a blanket of self congratulatory faith? Is there no passage in your scripture that commands you do more than pay lip service and virtue signal a loyalty in expectation of some reciprocal protection from the all powerful?

Faith can give you courage to do dangerous things that need to be done, or it can make you complacent in the face of imminent threat. Which is better?

jesus said to sell everything you own and to follow him, but instead people like to run their mouths telling others how godly they are.

What happens when a man gives away all the money he has to those more poor than himself? Do you know?

i have known a few people that sold everything they own so that they could focus on following jesus.

the result was that their life was more rich than before they sold their possessions.

did jesus say to sell everything you own and to follow him?

ChatGPT Yes, in the Bible, specifically in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus does instruct a wealthy young man to sell everything he owns and follow him. This story is found in Mark 10:17-31. In this passage, a rich young ruler asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus tells him to sell all his possessions, give the money to the poor, and then come and follow him. However, the young man becomes sorrowful because he has great wealth and finds this command difficult to follow. This narrative is often interpreted as an illustration of the challenge of prioritizing spiritual values over material possessions.

Let's say you didn't know these few people before they gave everything away. If you met them at their latter state, being now "more rich", would it be wrong to tell them to give everything away? They could look at you and say, "We already did!"
