Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was not a Capitalist, nor a Marxist; He was a Socialist! You don't believe me? Then read Luke 18:22-25: "Jesus said to the rich man, 'Sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven. And come, follow Me.' But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich. And Jesus looked at him and said, 'How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.'"

Jesus commands the rich to sell all their possessions and give the proceeds to the poor, and Acts 2:44-45 reports that the first Christians obeyed this command: "And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were dividing them up with all, as anyone might have need." Jesus makes it clear that no rich person can enter the Kingdom of Heaven, for it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Jesus abhors Materialism and Mammonism.

And indeed, Jesus himself obeyed his own command! For according to Luke 9:58, he was just a homeless wandering preacher: "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

Be like Jesus! Be a Socialist and despise Capitalism and Marxism!
