Mark 10:21-22 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions.

Luke 14:12-14 He said also to the one who had invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

Luke 16:19-25 "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man's table; even the dogs would come and lick his sores. The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
In Hades, where he was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side. He called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in agony in these flames.' But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.

If he was here today Sean Hannity and Brother Carl and Rush Limbaugh and Pacedog and ghandi and markle wouldn't give him the time of day. They'd say he was nothing but a muslim commie like Obama.

Indeed, he was a radical socialist and pacifist.

And, St. Paul was a commie.

Certainly not.

What you wrote is absolutely correct, as is my expansion on your comment.

Now farmers get sizeable subsidies which put the average grain farmer into the top 1% of income in America, while we subsidize companies to burn 40% of the corn crop as alcohol....oh, and we subsidize that so Americans with big gas guzzling cars can go to the corner store and buy a twinkie full of corn sweetners which will shorten most Americans lives....but the best part is the tax policies which allow venture capitalists to cannabilize Hostess, throw American workers to the street, and ship our jobs to Mexico where a Mexican bread company will buy the parts remaining of Hostess.......and you think communism is the problem.........gleaning.....LOL......read Karl Marx.

But since Paul the Apostle wrote both the Book of Paul and Corinthians, I'm not so sure the same can be said of him.
