Yes so he should...get rid of... that wealth before god can accept him, yes?

Well see, if you looked at something called empirical evidence instead of blind faith, you would have a confident answer (roughly 4.55 billion years).

Jesus first came to save the Jews, Gods holy people, but when the Pharisees mocked him and actively tried to stop him from giving his Gospel, he then gave God's grace to the Gentiles. Us basically/

How does the age of the Earth have any impact in terms of what God wants from his children?

If god knew everything, he would know this would happen, and would work to stop it in some other way
unless he was really misleading *everyone*, including Jesus.
Now what kind of sense does *that* make?

I never claimed it was the 'Godfather' of Jesus denial. It's a simplistic primer that even brainwashed Jesus Junkies can understand. There are lots more. If that one sends you screaming to the pulpit, I doubt you could stomach the others.

All I stated in regards to the intelligence parable is that Jesus states it is harder for someone with wealth to obtain the glory of heaven.

He knew this was happening of course! You are correct. This is because he intended to not only save the Jews (who had the option to change) but also the Gentiles (who previously did not).

In Genesis God states that he created the animals of the Earth before man

The age of the Earth is relevant to the accuracy of the bible, which puts the Earth at around 6000 years old. And if the message of God is to be conveyed through the bible, then one would hope that the source text is reliable.

So for einstein to get into heaven easier, he should have a lobotomy.
It's a logical extension of your statement.
And wouldn't it be a lot easier for god to achieve all of his objectives without being so dramatic about it? Granted, people wouldn't want to believe it nearly as much then.

because you dont study your faith and its history. if you were a true christian you'd be passionate about your faith and spend your time learning instead of wasting our time with this thread and misguided biblical one liners that even your local pastor would at.

God does not state the age of the Earth. People (biblical scholars) who try to trace the age of the earth though the genalogy given earlier in Genesis or through other methods are wrong in thinking that this alone would be enough.
I do not offer scientific proof of God's existence. I only offer the spirtual food that I have been given through the grace of God and the Holy Spirit.

Its an interesting video but it contains a lot of flaws. You're better off reading something by Dawkins or Harris if you want some anti-religious material.
