So Jesus told people that if they wanted to follow him that they had to give up their material possessions.
Twelve Apostles followed him, and therefore presumably gave up their worldly possessions.
And then they were all slaughtered.
Are we to believe that God doesn't want us to make the most of our time on earth?
Are we to believe that are bodies created in the image of God are not sacred? In other words we are to respect our life, the life that God gave us. Would God have us give up money we made to pay for food as implied above? No, because eating maintains the health and metabolism of your body. It is required, it is life, in the image of God.

Can we presume that all of Gods motivation is from Conscience? Sounds inherent to the concept of God.
Also therefore to be created in the "image" if God means to have your own human conscience.
Alcohol and birth defects. Alcohol causes a lot of damage to the hippocampus area of the developing brain if a woman drinks while pregnant. The hippocampus is responsible for memory gatewaying. Recalling memories as you think in order to form consistent and intelligent thoughts. To be able to remember good from bad. To therefore not be bad. And therefore to have a human conscience. And therefore to have a human soul?
Can you get into heaven without one? How could God be able to recognize you? You were not created in his "image.". Whose image were you created in? Your drunken mother? Influenced by Satan?
So here I have a problem with Jesus. The wine he says is his blood and if you drink it you will have eternal life? Isn't what is really true is that any children you have will not be created in the image of God. And therefore can not be recognized by God in judgement of what you call a soul? You actually believe you can live a criminal existence in life and fool God? Do you see why it can't work that way? It can't work that way no matter what structure of semantics you attempt to create in support of it.
