On occasion, I’ve read comments on this site saying Jesus is a Socialist.

But, you know what?

HE ISN’T.

Socialism is basically a view saying that no one is different or unique, and that the government should be the one to control and run everything however they see fit.

Jesus never encouraged any of that. And I know that because I know my Bible.

Anyone who ever believes him to be a Socialist clearly hasn’t been reading the Bible.

Exactly.

Thank you.

"I’m Going to Come Out and Say It..." is really not a good title, especially for a sticky thread! A thread title should tell the reader, at a glance, what the thread is about. This title doesn't do that, a better title would be "Jesus is not a socialist".

The title was mainly in reference to how much I had enough of people saying Jesus is a socialist.

But it's still extremely vague, as a thread title. If I were you: I'd have put "I’m going to come out and say it" in the post itself.

Amen

Yeah He's not a socialist. " Give into Ceasar what is Ceasar's, give into God what is God"

Jesus say to give to poor, but He still said to pay the government.
