Was Jesus a Socialist? - FB conversation

Posted by a FB friend:



Rosanne: we are living in an Oligarchy in the U.S., It's a proven fact. That's the REAL immorality in this country.

And btw Jesus was a "socialist."

This post is actually referring to FDR's Democratic Socialism. An era that brought us Social Security. Or LBJ's Democratic Socialism, an era that brought us Medicaid. Infrastructure,that's socialism, as is the military, police, and public schools.

Would you like me to continue?

Me: Jesus was not a socialist.

Rosanne: Rich, would you like me to cite a few examples?

Me: Rosanne, You made the assertion, you make your case.

Rosanne: 

The crowds replied, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee." ~Matthew 21:11

Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves. ~Matthew 21:12

And He declared to them, "It is written: 'My house will be called a house of prayer." But you are making it 'A DEN OF ROBBER'S'".... ~Matthew 21:13

Rosanne: And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to ALL, as any had need. ~Acts 2:44-45

Rosanne: I have more Bible verses, if you need more proof.

Me: Rosanne, No, Jesus cleared out the profane from the temple. That is not socialistic, it is holy.

Me: Rosanne, What happened Acts was after Jesus. You said Jesus was a socialist, remember?

Rosanne: I'm done with all you wanna be 'Christians,' who have no concept of what the Bible teaches us.

Me: So you can't make your case that Jesus believed the government should own the means of production? Please try again
