cd: The rich young ruler mentioned his keeping of the first table of Gods
commandments his entire life- but was lacking in the second table which in
cluded coveting and helping his follow man -as his riches kept him from
God-I believe this is why he was told to give what he had to the poor and
follow HIM and also sadly why he turned away. I think also we are saying
the same things :-)
