Zone1 Jesus Was a Socialist

I would first declare Jesus did not start the Catholic Church. Constantine did this. Aside from that, when you lead a couple of billion people, I would think the organization would need a trillion dollars. Wouldn't you? The True Church is said to have around 120 billion dollars as they have nearly 18 million worldwide with tens of thousands of church buildings as well with their Temples too. And, the LDS are a lay church too. It takes money to run large organizations. Doesn't mean the organization is wealthy. Just mean there is lots of money required to run the daily affairs of the Church worldwide.
I've been a member of the LDS church for 46 years. When I joined, we paid our tithing and fast offerings as we do today. But, back then, there were other things we paid as well if we could. We ran our local church buildings that costed money. Over time, all those other fees we used to pay have gone away because the Church managed the tithing money and business side of the organization so well, we only are required to pay the things God demands like tithing and offerings.
He pitched the idea of a new religion. He has the patent for lack of a better word.

How many other pitchmen have ever had their idea still making billions of dollars a year 2000 years later?
 
First off, the trillion dollar claim is a lie. The Catholic Church is estimated to be worth about 30 Billion USD. (Bourke, 2018) This includes thousands of buildings voluntarily donated and built by individual Catholics as a gift to God. The RCC does more humanitarian work and charity than any organization in the history of the world. Contrast that to Biden's fraudulent and lyingly-named "Inflation Reduction Act" which cost 13 times more than that. And the money for that is confiscated from unwilling taxpayers and accomplishes basically nothing. Yet you leftwingers don't have a single complaint about that.

Over 2000 years how much money has been given to Christian religions? Trillions.

And I'm not "left wing" whatever you define that as. I haven't voted for a democrat (or a republican) in at least 3 decades.
 
Nowadaminute!

  1. Matthew 19:28
    And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
  2. Luke 22:30
    That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Yea, and? Christ and the Christians judged the twelve tribes. What about it? Sorry, I'm not sure what you're getting at.

It's you making the lying claim. Why are you asking me to verify it?
 
Jesus was gravely subversive to the order(s) of the time (local and international). His message remains so, being particularly opposed to the absolute materialism of our epoch.
 
Who's going to judge the twelve tribes when the twelve tribes are nowhere to be found?

Look around in the kingdom now. No one governs it from the church; only their own denominations. And none of whom are the twelve disciples.
Jesus was speaking of the coming Kingdom, not the present.
 
What coming kingdom? The only kingdom preached in the New Testament is the one that arrived during Christ's ministry.
Jesus said, "If my kingdom were from hence (this time) then would my servants fight."

The church is the antetype of the kingdom, not the fullness of it.

The Twelve Tribes will rule the earth under Jesus.
The world doesn't know who they are because only the Jews retain God's identifying sign (the Sabbath).

One of the primary missions of the Two Witnesses is to reveal their identity during The Time of Jacobs Trouble (the Great Tribulation)
 
How many times do we have to debunk this? God and Jesus would clearly be on the side of Republicans, the party of family values. Jesus was woke? Come on, you people should know better than this.

One of the core principles of socialism/communism is the destruction of religion and especially Christianity.
