Jesus said “For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” (Luke 18:25. Also Matthew 19:24; Mark 10:25.) He is using hyperbole — deliberate exaggeration to make his point. The eye of the needle is the tiny hole […]

Is or was Jesus an angel?

No, Jesus is not — and never was — an angel. Hebrews 1 makes this clear, especially Hebrews 1:3-5 & 13: {3} …After making purification for sins, he [God’s son — v2 — i.e. Jesus] sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, {4} having become as much superior to angels as […]
