Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Jesus was a commie, folks.
Making people miserable through communism isnt love.
True.
STill look at this life and tell me he was anything else.
He lived collectively with his apostles and followers and preached to the people about how one must love thy neighbor, give to the poor., and eshew materialism
He was in every sense of the word, a communist.
Not a Marxist, or Maoist, not a Trotskyite, but an authentic primative communist.
Your apparently ascribing some dark sinister meaning to the word communist. You should try a dictionary some time . Nothing sinister about the word communist. Just as there is nothing sinister about the word right winger. The problem is in how people act , pure and simple. People cause problems and do evil. Just as guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people. Chinese Communists seem to be our best friends now. We sure owe them lots of money . And it's a good bet that 90% of the stuff in your house and the clothes you're wearing on your body came from a communist nation in Asia.
So perhaps you should rethink you're irrational words.
Anyhoo. No such word as communist is in the bible.
True though that Christ taught a complete sharing of everything. In fact he taught that those that follow him would not consider possessions their own but would share with anyone in need. The early church lived in such a way as do the Amish today. Along with many small sects of true followers of Christ around the world.
A bible verse you might find interesting.
Acts 4:32-37 32All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. 33With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. 34There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.
Your correct editec one of the central theme's of Christ's teaching is that possessions mean nothing. People mean everything.
