    Why haven't you sold your house?
    I could sell my house 50,000 times and still not have as much money as Bezos to give away. And it's not my fault that's what Jesus said. If you want to be a Christian then that's what he's telling people, not just his 12 disciples what to do.

    But lets now take a moment to pull back the curtain of Godly wisdom of Jesus for a moment. What if he wasn't saying "give everything away to the point of destitution" but "give away everything that makes you rich and help people who need it, live a modest and d generous lifestyle"

    But it's obvioulsy not just something that applies to the 12 disciples. Any Christian should take this advice. Also, when Jesus is talking about himself, and what he did that's not a parable to the disciples - they're the ones writing about his sayings and doings.

    OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, so now you're going to judge yourself by other people.

    Are you trying to say that you couldn't live cheaper.

    I accept your acknowledgement and admission that Jesus was talking to his disciples and that you lied in your earlier post.

    I don't know how the first Christians in Judea lived.
    You willfully ignore that I cited the writings of Luke which includes the Gospel and Acts

    "In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus brings good news to the poor and oppressed and tells rich people to sell their possessions. In Acts, early christians live out that vision by sharing their property and wealth with the poor and with each other. Luke tells us believers retained no private property but they held everything in common."

    Unlike you I don't pretend to be a Christian. Also Jesus does give parables of himself.

    some here will say I am not........God says I am......the issue isn't whether God wants people to help the poor......the issue is whether atheist political hacks should tell us what God wants us to do......
