Did she explain why Lydia, the lady who made and sold purple cloth, did not sell all her possessions but was still praised in the Bible? Lydia kept her nice house, which she used for hospitality.

There’s no evidence Joseph of Arimathea sold all his stuff, either, which is why he had the means to give Jesus a nice burial.

Yeah O'Reilly pointed that out but she had no reply. If this woman were just some dingbat with a website that would be one thing but for a professor of NT at ND to be this profoundly stupid is stunning.

These people also manage to ignore the fact that Jesus went to Peter’s HOUSE in Capernaum to heal his mother-in-law. (Aren’t all of these men supposed to be gay? Peter was married!)The New Testament is filled with references to homeowners who were followers. Jesus talked about people who owned vineyards and their right to determine what they would pay their workers.

If Jesus said to “sell all of your possesions” what did He say to do with the money?

Well, the burial couldn't have been that nice, Jesus up and left after a couple of days!
