Why do so many Christians know nothing about Jesus.

Jesus was the least Capitalist entity that ever lived. 

“And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” (Matthew 19:24) 

Let’s not forget the Cleansing of the Temple in which the moneylenders and merchants were selling their wares and threw everyone out:  “In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business.  And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.  And he told those who sold the pigeons, ‘Take these things away; you shall not make my Father’s house a house of trade.’ (John 2:14-16).  Jesus is so mad about Capitalism being mixed in his religion he FLIPS TABLES.  

 And were taking advantage of the poor while pretending to be holy: “They devour widows’ houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” (Luke 20:47) The POOR were the people Jesus felt for, not the people making money off of them and PRETENDING to care.

AND! don’t forget Jesus reached out to the disenfranchised, the meek, social pariahs like lepers, etc.  He CREATED safe spaces.  

In its earliest years the people most likely to convert to Christianity in the Roman world were women and slaves.  THE UNDER CLASS.  

Christianity, at its roots, is about empowering and caring for the disenfranchised.  It frowns upon materialism.  I feel like modern Christians need to sit down and actually READ THE DAMN BIBLE, especially since so many of them want to take EVERY WORD LITERALLY. 

Jesus would be PISSED at so many “Christians” today.
