It’s so funny because all the time they tried to ignore the fact that their Jesus was in fact what they would call a socialist.ä and pretty many stuff in the bible says things like:
„It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.“ — Mark 10:25 (You hear that Kenneth Copeland? Well you look like the devil himself already.)
“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.“ — Matthew 6:2 (Basically the opposite of what most of them full blown proud Christians do. Isn’t pride even a Sin?)
„And all those who were of the faith were one in heart and soul: and not one of them said that any of the things which he had was his property only; but they had all things in common.“ — Acts 4:32 (That’s probably a ancient Woodstock feeling.)
„If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?“ — Johannes 3:17 (Tax the rich is basically this, but with more steps.)
“Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.” Then all the people shall say, ‘Amen!‘“— Deuteronomy 27:19 (Can you see it? It says build the wall and cage children without their mothers right there.)
Well. It’s not like it’s consistent. Pretty bad writing actually. All the lore about plagues and stuff.
He respects the. Though "give to Cesar what is due to Cesar" or some BS. Definitely not an anarchist.
So? That's still clear respect for the state. It doesn't say "I don't believe in the state, but kid you should probably still pay taxes to stay out of jail".
There's no debate since the church sees the bible as canon. The whole point is moot, since either the bible is canon, or the whole thing is garbage (I lean the latter).
What's Johannes? Never heard of that book.
John. Lost in translation.
