WHOSE VALUES?
God: Why do you think Jesus emphasized that some would not be able to enter the Kingdom of God?
Me: Because He wanted everyone to realize that status or power in the community does not guarantee salvation.
God: Right! There is still a difference today after 2000 years in God's values and those of society. With whom do you align yourself?
