God said share the wealth.

Yes God. Said to share the wealth. Not to rob your neighbor of what he has worked for so you can do nothing.

You have to wonder why rightwing Christians want to go to heaven. Jesus, as portrayed in the texts of the New Testament, is profoundly, fundamentally, socialist. He makes the point again and again. An economic system that is based on distribution of wealth is certainly more in keeping with Christ's teaching than one that is based on greed.

The NT is NOT profoundly socialist:

In I Timothy 5:8 is one of the strongest statements in the Bible: "If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever," (RSV). Or, as the King James has it, he is "worse than an infidel."

Arguing with nonbelievers over religion is about as useful as asking the cat to change its own litter.

I think the one who started the thread wants us to share more of our wealth with HER!

That would require me to go back to the OP, which in turn would mean it makes a difference to me, just not happening for me.

Oh, and if whoever it was needs money, I gave at church on Sunday, go ask them.

GOD SAID SHARE THE WEALTH.

1 John 3:17-18
But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.


Acts 11:27-30

Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world (this took place in the days of Claudius). So the disciples determined, everyone according to his ability, to send relief to the brothers living in Judea. And they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.


Proverbs 21:13

Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.


What Does the Bible Say About Sharing Wealth?



RINO are CINO.

Sharing and giving is a whole hell of a lot different than forcably taking.

 

[saveliberty]

Yep, the Devil is in the details.

In Mark Chapter 10:21-25, Christ is not saying to provide for just one's family but rather to sell all that one owns and give it to the poor. For the true capitalist, heaven has got to be much too socialist.

You really gotta wonder if Michael Savage was right when he said "liberalism is a mental illness". Only a bi-polar segment of society would invoke the modern version of separation of church and state, authorize the killing of unborn babies, and make fun of political candidates who express religious beliefs and giggle about "art exhibits" that contain the Crucifix upside in a vat of urine while claiming that Jesus says we should share the wealth.

And it Genesis God commandment Noah to build an ark. Are you honestly suggesting that God's commandments directed at one of his children in a certain circumstance is applicable to all of them? Should we all be building large ships in the backyard?

Anybody notice what we have a wealth of these days? Misery, hate, laziness and envy. I'll pass on the sharing thanks.

No, no he isn't. Socialism is a political system and Jesus was anything but political. His kingdom was spiritual and that is what he spoke to. Giving came from the heart, not from the barrel of a gun. Go to Sunday School some time, they will be more than happy to teach you the difference.

If Jesus were alive today, there is no doubt that he would be considered a socialist. Someone whose advice is to sell all that they own and give it to the poor certainly is not a capitalist. If this isn't redistribution of wealth, I don't know what is.

I see you don't know Jesus very well.

Again, you don't understand the Bible very well. Stop trying to prove something that is not in the Bible. Jesus did not support socialism, period.

Again, no it doesn't.

He is alive, in Heaven. He was not and is not socialist. You might be though, if so you can move to a socialist country, please.
