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.I made a video discussing my thoughts on if Jesus is a socialist. Let me know what you think of my arguments down below, and what do you think? Is Jesus a socialist? What evidence do you have that He is or is not?
One also can't even remotely begin to fulfill the duties of a church that is asked to take care of the widows, the ill, and the orphans, etc., if they were all ordered to be dumpster divers and beggars, as some of the moron 'atheist' cultists keep claiming Christians are supposed to be.
But on the right wing, the nutjobs also like to forget the verses where it says workmen are worthy of their hire." They just like the 'sweat of their brows' part, as long as it isn't their brow that's sweating and they're getting a big cut of the bennies for 'investing n stuff'.

were it not for the 4th century forgery the intent was not a church but the individual though not by sicko's means of a dumpster dive - rather by not praying but doing. a good way to get nailed to a board in those times to the present.
the religious itinerant was local with little inclination for a metropolis or rome for whatever reason limiting their true identity. and though obscured was most certainly a manifestation of the religion of antiquity.
