The problem I have with some religions is that they are limited. Some believe that only a certain number of people will go to heaven, some believe that you can only got to heaven if you have undergone certain rituals.I believe that there was only 1 proviso. To believe that Jesus is Our Lord and Saviour.
The type of people Jesus Chose to follow him were ordinary folk like you and me, none of them had any wealth to speak of. His disciples were Fisher men, tax collectors and a zealot(That we know of) the rest were probably average joe's as well.. warehouse men, street cleaners, Lawyers, Waiters - whatever!! He didn't limit it to the rich or poor to the intellectual or the idiot he didn't say that you had to be confirmed he didn't say that you had to go to confession every week - he never mentioned purgatory, he didn't limit it to 144,000.
He calls us all but there is a price to pay...it will cost us our lives, Everything we do needs to be for the purpose of GOD - When I go to work ....go for God, When I do things with my children do it for God...when I am playing in the music group....Play for God!
only when we do it for his purposes, can the Kingdom of God really come on earth!
Luke 9 -57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
58Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
59He said to another man, "Follow me."
But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
60Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
61 Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family."
62Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."
