Maybe you can't separate the OT and the NT but I have no trouble seeing there are numerous voices there. You may like to think that since it is all the word of one God it is a consistent message, I don't believe that. I see it as a work of many men that spoke many languages, lived in different times and places, and believed many different things.You can’t separate the OT and the NT. Besides, there are plenty of examples in the NT which describe the same thing.The question was only about Jesus. There are many voices in the OT and NT, not just one.He put the man to a test. Otherwise you’d have to ignore the hundreds of references in the OT and NT to wealth. You can’t parse the Bible to suit your purposes.What else would an apocalyptic Jew mean?Really? That’s what you believe he meant?Jesus had no economic theory beyond his saying we should give away all our material possessions. He expected the end times to be imminent so economics didn't matter.
