    Love the followup to that verse.

    Master, who then can be saved?

    Jesus, internally: Oh, shit, good point, uhh…

    What is impossible for man is not impossible for God.

    Dude was just talking out his ass the whole time.

      Lol. But the overall point is, regardless of whatever you believe in, the common theme of moral teachings is to be good to others, not how many hours you should work or how many times one should be beaten for a transgression. Anything else gained from religious text or tradition is a speculative interpretation brought from the ancient to the modern context, and should be taken and understood as such.
