Socialist Jesus?

[Shadow Wolf]

The Bible does not promote handing over wealth to politicians, which is invariably the exact opposite. aka socialism.

"Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's."

Kim Jong Un is one of the richest men on Earth.

No, he's not. That list is still dominated by tech gurus and pioneers and wall street investors.

 

[Revoltingest]

A man who told people to sell everything they own and give the money to the poor and that a rich man cannot get into Heaven certainly wasn't teaching Capitalism or acquiring and hording material items.

It would be impossible for everyone to sell everything they own
because the buyer would also have to sell everything...& on & on.
And what would the poor buy with the money?
It's not a sustainable model....."Giveitallawayism"?
Jesus is no Milton Friedman.....although he might win an Ignobel Prize.

Jesus is from a long line of prophets including Amos, out spoken, in you face prophet of social justice.


"I hate and despise your feasts,
I take no pleasure in your solemn festivals
I reject your sacrifices
Let me hear no more of your chanting
But rather let justice flow like water
And integrity like an unfailing stream"

Jesus is no Milton Friedman

No, he's not. And, in fact, the earliest Christian communes with a Communist system, probably to the point it may even be fair to say they didn't even have a system of economics.
