You dicked it up by suggesting Jesus wanted people to sell their possessions...
But, to the point...Jesus actually admonished the disciples NOT to sell their possessions and give to the poor... when he cited "the poor you have with you always".

Um yeah...this kinda proves that evangelical assholes don't read their own bible.
selling things = anti-free-market
Jesus wants you to have stuff because poor people can suck it
@ haywood:
That pic fucking owns.
Jesus dicked up your blitherings by saying people should sell their possessions which of course means you're one of those CONSERVETARDS ... so very ready to throw widows and orphans into the street if they refuse to be rich...etc.
But to the point...when you start ranting about what Jesus said...get your shit str8 about what Jesus actually said.
As a student studying political ideology I can definitely say that liberals, whether classical or modern, are not anti-free market. In fact, early liberals were the biggest proponents of that economic system.
Of course fundie politics just consists of themselves thinking they're right and everyone else in the world is absolutely wrong.
Yeah Joe Bob, not much else to say. This is just more proof that if anyone completely (and in terms of their social control, effectively) opposes the actual teachings of Jesus, it's the asshole fundies. This isn't the first time I've read this brand of psychopathology-disguised-as-religion, but it's unusually clear in its meaning and intent.
Must have those springs strapped to your feet because you are making a pretty giant leap there, anonymous poster.
You're doing it with such respect for others too; I'm sure Jesus is proud of your fucked up interpretation of his message.
Jesus actually admonished the disciples NOT to sell their possessions and give to the poor... when he cited "the poor you have with you always".
No, Jesus often admonished the disciples to sell their possessions and give to the poor in various other passages. In this passage, he admonished the disciples for criticizing the woman for anointing him with an expensive oil prior to his execution (which he foresaw). The moral was not that one should be stingy, but that one should not criticize someone's kindness to a dying man.
What's the definition of a Christian?
Jesus actually admonished the disciples NOT to sell their possessions and give to the poor... when he cited "the poor you have with you always".
Always capable to pick and choose parts of the babble to claim whatever you like.
Jesus said a lot of things. Hey, the Bible hasn't exactly won any awards for consistency.
Why do they capitalize Liberals like its some kind of accusation?
And yet it is the poor whom Jesus called blessed in his Beatitudes, not the rich.
And what was the parable of the sheep and the goats about, then? "I was hungry and you did not give me food, I was thirsty and you did not give me drink, etc."
And what is wrong with being a "bleeding heart?" I am so sick of this phrase being used as an insult. I'd rather have a bleeding heart than a cold, hard one like yours any day.
So to love Jeebus is this same as the only way to be a good American: buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend?
No thanks.
Wasn't it a split between James (possible brother of Jesus) and Paul. James said that to get into heaven you needed faith and charity (I think it's one of those apocryphal gospels).
@Irreal:
Today in that same R&R, this post:
"I'm not the first or second poster about this, but I will point out some things BOTH of you are wrong about....perhaps...
When Jesus said "feed the poor", he was meaning "don't feed the poor".
I though ha was a dude, not some shitty stereotype of woman.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
