Not to mention Catholics who are Pro Choice Kringas.That is why I excommunicated myself before Rome got involved. Something about, "A camel through the eye of a needle than a hypocrite to enter Heaven" thing.

That too, mominator. That's what I just don't get, how people can completley fly in the face of all the church's teachings like that and continue to worship and consider themselves catholics when according to the church they'll be going to hell.
From this point on, I am going to voluntarily bow out of this discussion and leave it to the Catholics and lapsed Catholics.
"...Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:24."
Rich...Hypocrite...is there a difference?
JAG, depends on what translation of the Bible you are citing.
I use whichever translation suits my argument. Just like the Fundies.
In that verse, Jesus was talking about a rich man who valued his money more than his salvation. Gold and riches was that man's god!
But, the verse about "First take the plank out of your own eye, so you can see clearly to take the speck out of your brothers" applies to hypocrites.
