Marxist-influenced scholarship was wrong about Jesus, Galilee, and poverty

Context matters. When Abraham Lincoln said during the Gettysburg address that the founding fathers were "dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal," the context of where and when he was speaking is important. The same goes for when Martin Luther King Jr. said, "I have a dream," and when Ronald Reagan said, "Tear down this wall." For all of them, their message was specific to the time, place, and audience.

I’ve had soooo many libTARDS

tell me Jesus was a Communist.

I point out

Jesus said to help your fellow man out of your heart

Commies tell you to help your fellow man at the point of a gun barrel

One is voluntary

The other is forced

Ergo
Jesus was NOT a socialist or commie.

Indeed. There was just as much poverty after Jesus as before him. Jesus came to save souls not pocketbooks.

“For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always.” Matthew 26:11
No, Jesus was not a communist.

Judas was a commie. Or at least pretended to be.

Oh he was the type for sure.

Jhn 12:4 - But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected,

Jhn 12:5 - “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.

Jhn 12:6 - He did not say this because he cared about the poor

but because he was a thief;

as keeper of the money bag,

he used to help himself

to what was put into it.

Commies are all thieves and liars at heart
