::: Sorry, Tim, I didn't notice your edits in the middle here.  The Greek word does not mean "many more possessions than they need" as you suggest.  Rather, it means "fully supplied" or "abundantly supplied."  The term refers equally well to the person who has just what he needs and no more.  In short, it applies to virtually everyone in developed nations, fully fed and entertained.  That's why the term "rich" no longer works because very few of the "abundantly supplied" view themselves as "rich" today, yet Jesus is addressing them.  The key to the Greek term and the translation is to capture the vice of an unwillingness to try harder due to the complacently of being fully fed and entertained.--[[User:Aschlafly|aschlafly]] 08:11, 28 December 2008 (EST)

:::::::::::::::: Tim, the essence of this project is to open your mind and think for yourself, and not rely on an argument that "the experts say such-and-such."  Yes, some and perhaps all of the unnamed experts are liberals.  The process of inducing people to rely on "the perceived view of experts is a misleading one.  In courts of law it is generally not allowed without also hearing from an expert with the opposite view.
