More importantly; if He returns, what kind of car would He drive?

A Suburban of course, how else would he get all the disciples around?

A suburban only seats 9.

“Thou shalt not steal”. No exceptions for “unless you work for the government”.

“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods”.

Or at least a crew-cab pickup truck.

Well the Bible does say the disciples left in one Accord. A miracle in itself.

It also said God drove Adam and Eve out of Eden in his Fury

Lessee ... when it comes to charitable giving ... which group was it that’s historically been shown to be more generous?

Well, you can count out Judas. Thomas would doubt he could fit in. Peter would deny they stopped to pick him up (three times). That still makes a total of ten, including Jesus. However, since he fasted in the desert for 40 days, they could squeeze the extra in.

“We shed our blood, donate our time, apply our labor, and voluntarily redistribute our income to the poor.”

Jesus said feed the hungry, comfort the sick and aid the poor.

He said NOTHING about mandatory government wealth redistribution...

..and I don’t think HE would be very pleased with those who have gotten wealthy from claiming to represent the poor in the name of God.

..but who am I to judge...

If you're going to CALL yourself "intellectual", you better jolly well know the difference between "populace" and "populous".

Jesus told us what WE were to do.

He did not tell us to abdicate that responsibility to the government. The government is not there to do our good works for us.

Ten in a Suburban is nothing. My mom and dad took seven of my siblings and me to church to worship Jesus every Sunday in a 56 Chevy Belair.

Cordially,

I just don’t like this kind of supposition. Jesus is/was neither a conservative or a liberal - he was an infallible, perfected being.

To try to proscribe human politics - something that Jesus would have rendered to ceaser, something beneath the divine - to one who lived a perfect life seems blasphemous.

One problem I have with this is that a miser can always say he loves Jesus more that his money. He is only tested by relinquishing his wealth, which he won’t do. But he can still say his love is greater... and who would know?
