P
do these three threads (fun as they may be) remind anyone else of moral relativism? 
i know i have homeschool mother syndrome (yes, i did just make it up ),
but to speak of who may or may nor be deserving of our help...
or who is most deserving, reminds me of being back in sixth grade.
"you have been in a boating accident. there are five people in a four person lifeboat.
one is a doctor, one a teacher, one a mechanic, one a pastor, and the last (just) a mother.
which four do you save?" (presumably "I" am dead and unable to vote, since there's no 12 yo girl on their list. )
i'm sure none of you meant it as such...just sometimes we may not realize how culture has affected our thinking,
because we're just not thinking about it.
thanks for listening, as you always so kindly do-

Obviously God has no limits so there would never "only be room for one". Theological truths aside...
Jesus says "The first shall be last". Since there is only room for one more in heaven, that means whoever is picked would be the last. So whoever would be considered "first" in this life would be the "last" one entering, which I say would be the rich man.
Assuming he trusted in Christ.
