I think this is one area where we definitely agree.

Christ told the young rich man to sell all he had and give the money to the poor.

He did not say sell all he had and give the money to Caesar, so that Caesar could give it to the poor.

What Jesus was saying there - put God first in your life before your riches. Seek the Kingdom of God first.

If we sell all we have and give it to the poor, won't that make us poor too?

>>>He did not say sell all he had and give the money to Caesar, so that Caesar could give it to the poor.<<<

Also, He did not say, “Take your neighbors’ money against their will and give it to the poor.”
