Was Jesus a Socialist?

Im pretty sure Jesus would not support the totalitarianism that accompanies true socialism...but I also suspect he would not oppose us collectively ensuring all people have adequate access to healthcare (ie universal healthcare). I also doubt he would support "Anything for a buck" capitalism.

It is amoral not immoral. It's what you do with it.

Problem is that the "anything for a buck" mentality is (imo) the rule and not the exception...particularly in big business. Nothing wrong with making money...but money should be made not only legally but ethically and never by exploiting the powerless.

Two friends, one white and one black were killed in a terrible car crash. While ascending the large staircase up to Heaven, one says “ I hate to tell you this, but Jesus was a black man “. The other busting out laughing says “ that’s funny, everyone knows that Jesus was a white man!”  Back and forth this argument goes as they climb. About that time their heads pop through the clouds and they see Heaven with Jesus standing front and center. Jesus smiled at them and says “Buenos Dias amigos”

He was average as you get. Not the tall good looking Jesus Hollywood portrays. Average Jew was like 5’4 buck 20. The skin tone didn’t matter.

The fact people care about this rather than the character misses the point of Jesus Christ entirely.

Exactly.  I just find it funny that people think he was what he wasn’t.
