The Most Blessed Man, Ever

The most blessed man who ever lived, lived at the time when Jesus of Nazareth walked on the earth.

He was most blessed because he was able to walk up to Jesus and speak with him, face-to-face. (Just imagine if you could do that, yourself, for five minutes!)

He was most blessed because he asked the perfect question: What shall I do that I may have eternal life?

And he was most blessed because Jesus answered, and the answer was very simple and very explicit: don't murder, don't commit adultery, don't steal, don't bear false witness, but do honor your mother and father.

And that was ALL! Well, except for "love thy neighbor as thyself," and "defraud not" (which is really the same as "don't steal").

NOTHING ELSE! No "be baptized," no "join the right church," no "tithe," no "accept me as your personal savior". Eternal life just for keeping a subset of the so-called "Ten Commandments".

And thus he was most blessed man because the man who spoke to him was Jesus himself, not a fallible human preacher. Meaning the most blessed man got the one, true answer.

Did Jesus speak the truth? Was his answer for just that one man only? Why didn't Jesus list all ten of the laws given to Moses?

Are the rest of us in trouble because every "Christian" church gives different answers, and give answers that don't agree with what Jesus told the most blessed man?

Well, that's why he was the most blessed man ever. He got it directly from the source.

A side note: When the most blessed man told Jesus that he already kept those commandments, Jesus told him that, to be perfect, the most blessed man should sell what he had, give to the poor, and follow Him.

Notice: First sell (meaning "get cash"), THEN give to the poor! So Jesus said a perfect man would give money to the poor. According to Rush Limbaugh and many others, the surest way to ruin the poor is to give them cash. It destroys them somehow.

I wonder if Rush knows better than Jesus.
