Been saying this for years here but McLean said it very well today.
Did this McLean character do this?
Does he understand what Jesus said, or is he assuming that he does?
Take for instance the following verse you listed:
Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
"sell whatsoever thou hast"
Ok, are you wearing clothes that you "hast"?
Should you sell clothes you are wearing and live the rest of your life naked as a jaybird?
What is the practical application of what Jesus said?
did Peter and Andrew and James and John sell their boats or did they go fishing after the resurrection?
Did Jesus sell all that he owned including the clothes he was wearing and finish his ministry stark naked?
What is Jesus Christ really saying?
I will let you mull that over.
