Can somebody point me to the verse that says "Sell everything you have and give it to Caesar so he can keep most of it, use some to buy votes, and save just a little bit for the poor so he can tax it away later"?

What's that got to do with socialism? :lol:
 
Re: I had yet another person tell me that Jesus was a socialist

In any case, Acts 2:45 pretty much describes the ancient Christian views on socialism.

And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.

Except the described behavior is at best a drunken Rush Limbaugh fever dream of what socialism is.

I read the title. Please attempt to be more honest.

Which church? Because Joel Osteen isn't doing that. The Catholic church isn't really doing it. Franklin Graham certainly isn't doing it.

THE congregation, the believers in Christ. This is not difficult.

Look, if you really want to know you have to set aside your biases. Buildings are not churches, denominations are not churches.

Others who profess to be Christians would offer it is you and your ilk that need to set aside your biases.

Yet some of the congregation believe jesus was god and some don't. What does belief in Christ really mean?

How stupid is this, the Communist Manifesto hadn't been written - just like The Bible hadn't been written - at that time. However, we all recognize the principles of communism in much of what the character Jesus said.

So calling Jesus a commie is stupid, too, thanks for clearing that up.
