Girls make 300 “friends” a year and they hate all of them.

He advocated for people giving directly to the poor (i.e. charity), not for letting the government handle that.

What does that have to do with anything?

The question was whether or not he advocated for socialism.

Yeah, that’s like saying vegans wouldn’t eat pork.

As I said, you have no idea what he said but you're confident he'd agree with you.

Yes, and that did in fact happen during the early days of the church, until Rome became the center of Christianity. So who won in the end?

So you have no idea what Jesus advocated for, but you're confident that he'd agree with you...

Yes, progressive taxation is a feature of socialist government.

Yes but did he say paying your taxes will remove the obligation to take care of your neighbor?

I'm kinda missing the verse where he said "Give Caesar what is Caesar's, and let him take care of the poor."

Did Jesus ever advocate for trusting the system?

What did I get wrong? Where did Jesus advocate for forced redistribution by government?
