Bible Question: Are there any examples of a merchant attaining the kingdom of heaven in all the Bible? (a merchant is one who buys from one place at a low price and sells in another at a higher price.This is as opposed to a producer who creates goods and provides value added to the customer to whom he sells. for instance Jesus a carpenter and Abraham a farmer were both producers.) |
Bible Answer: nlsavage: Welcome to the Forum! In the Bible a believer is not always identified or categorized according to his/her occupation or socio-economic class. However, sometimes he/she is. You may wish to look up "merchant(s)" in a Bible concordance. Read each entry to determine whether there are any biblical examples of a merchant attaining the kingdom of heaven. To help narrow the possibilities and facilitate your research, it may be helpful to make the gospels -- Matthew, Mark, Luke and John -- and Acts the focus of your search. These are, after all, the narrative portions of the NT, which would more likely contain the kind of example you are asking about. |
