Was Jesus Christ a socialist?

[Zona]

I have been looking more and more into exactly what he said and from what I can gather, I think he would have been called a socialist by some now days..




1. Jesus owned nothing. 2. Jesus argued for the dissolution of the family and the establishment of communes. 3. Jesus loved all people regardless of ethnicity or class. 4. Jesus revolted against the imperial government, established religion and finance capitalism (usury). 5. Jesus taught that we should act as one body, one blood. 6. Jesus taught that his kingdom (ie nation state) is in the heart and not below the feet. 7. Jesus taught that we should fight for Justice and 'turn the other cheek' to petty morality. 8. Jesus was a laborer and a teacher. 9. Jesus practiced healing and forgiveness. 10. Jesus taught that you can't be an imperialist and a disciple at the same time.

Jesus was for sure a bleeding heart liberal for his time and a revoloutionary as far as the established church was concerned. It got him crucified.

I'm more concerned about who are socialists or support socialism now than from 2000 years ago.

I stated that broadly, I'm not accusing anyone. Personally, I think terms are misused, we are closer to corporate fascism than socialism,imho.

A clear case of the devil quoting scripture.

A badly informed devil.


He was not involved in treason against Rome. His main message concerned the excessive formalism of Jewish practice at the time and triumph of religiosity over faith.

JESUS WAS THE SON OF MAN...The Invocation of GOD incarnate upon the Earth and didn't care a WIT of Man's politics. *INCLUDING YOURS ZONA*

The Bibles speaks of helping the poor over 2,000 times.

Republican Lieutenant Governor André Bauer says if you starve the poor, they'll stop "breeding".

Running the money changers out of the temple was the final straw that got him crucified.
Think about that a while.

Your thoughts and knowledge on religion is hilarious.....Is this from that "christian" mormon bible?

Oh and in case you all missed it, T said Mormons are christians......no really, he said this!

 

[johnrocks]

He also chased the money changers out of the Temple, I'm no Religious scholar but I don't know where he supported FORCING others to take care of the poor via force of government.

It's not a trend...It's a thread that recurs every few months, and the person starting the thread almost always acts as though he/she is coming up with some brilliant observation.

Well, it's unbrilliant, to the point of total idiocy, to go with being really really ooooooolllld.

Hey T..do you need links to the bible refrencing helping the poor or to when Bauer saying Starve the poor, they'll stop breeding? Seriously, do you? If you get them, will you come back and say you were wrong again...

oh wait you never said you were wrong when you said Mormons where Christians so you wont admit you are wrong here as well.

The T....you are a funny guy.

Did Jesus advocate government owning the means of production?
