lol wtf "Jesus' advice to million $ PAP Ministers"

OO_OO_OO SG

i found this on another forum. its quite hilarious, yet it makes sense and doesnt at the same time. comments?

it was titled
"Jesus' advice to million $ PAP Ministers"

Jesus said to his disciples Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter the kingdom of heaven with difficulty. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. When the disciples heard this, they were exceedingly astonished, saying Who then can be saved? Looking at them, Jesus said With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:23-26. (NIV)(fn2)

it is ironic that they justify their high pay by saying paying high salary reduce corruption

that is akin to saying taxes are legalised robbery

How about this?

"Jesus' advice to million of sg citizens"

Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves ... Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. Romans 13:1-6 (NIV)

With regards to the title, please refrain from using profanities or acronyms associated with profanities in this forum.

Herzog_Zwei SG

Technically, the acronyms for "what the coitus" is very vulgar for a forum for Christians. Mr. Green

For starters, the title is something that someone coined. It has nothing to do with Jesus or the Bible. Stating it as a topic heading is misleading.

It is obvious that there are many who are not supporters of the PAP government. I wish that this forum remains apolitical. The verse in question does not refer to PAP per se, regardless of how it may sound. It refers to rich folks who are not able to forgo their wealth for God. It is not even for rich people specifically.

As such, I deem that this topic is irrelevant and misleading and I will close it.

As sillyme had already stated, please refrain from profanity.
