I meant...like....I mean, Jesus only encountered them once. That one time.
He was always talking about how the rich can’t get into heaven and the poor deserve more. It’s important to note that this is the only time he openly got angry at anyone, and also as someone in this thread pointed out, he fashioned a whole whip to do it, which took time.
Elon Musk is Christian. He isn't getting whipped by Jesus lol.
Lol, just because people claim to be something doesn’t make them so. Elon Musk is a hypocrite , a racist, a transphobe, a benefactor of slavery, and a massive exploiter, of course Jesus wouldn’t approve. Would Jesus have approved of Chattel slavery in the US because southerners used Christianity to justify their way of life? Jesus isn’t out here whipping people anymore. He made it pretty clear that the punishment for exploitation and cruelty on earth is spiritual suffering. “It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven.” Elon Musk does not appear to be happy now, and I’m sure if hell exists, he’s going there.
Jesus also said "For the fool says in his heart, there is no God". Most Communists are atheists. So...you know where I'm headed with this sentence.
Christians were the first communists, and today regardless of religious affiliation communists tend to be better at upholding Christian values than the average “Christian.” I don’t even know why I bother with you at this point.
Imagine being shown your own bible passages to demostrate Jesus didn't like rich people, and then being in denial about it, peak USA bible thumper.
My personal favorite revelations 11:18
"The nations were angry, but your wrath has come. The time has come for the dead to be judged and to give the reward to your servants the prophets, to the saints, and to those who fear your name, both small and great, and the time has come to destroy those who destroy the earth."
Those rich assholes killing the planet for profit, your own God has plans for them.
So was Hitler. What's your point?
