As Jesus is the cornerstone upon which the Church is built, so are his teachings the unifying cornerstone of Christian doctrine.

Is hell a rich man’s future

Is hell a rich man’s future? Many passages of the Bible like the story of Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16) point to hell as the future for selfish people. However, Mark 10:17-31 gives considerable hope for the wealthy. Heaven is a much more difficult choice for the wealthy. It is as hard a choice as threading a camel through a needle’s eye. It seems impossible, but the same path to salvation lies before them as for the rest of us. All things are possible with God. Many millionaires do not live a selfish and opulent life style. They live as ordinary neighbors and use their wealth to bless others. That’s exactly what Jesus did. He came from the wealthiest corner of the entire universe, heaven and lived like a pauper on earth to bless the whole world.
