No ....that's not what Jesus told me ....that's what he told the rich young ruler to do .....and that's because Jesus besides being God in flesh was also a prophet ....therefore he could read the thoughts and intents of that mans heart

Jesus knew he loved money above all else so he told him to get rid of it completely


He doesn't tell that to everyone

Infact when Nicodemus came to him and asked Him ....Jesus replied "you must be born again "

Two different people ....two different replies
