"Jesus was not a socialist. The Gospel of Jesus is not the gospel of Karl Marx. Jesus loves investors as much as He loves the homeless. Nor was Jesus a fan of big government. The big government of His day (Rome) greased the skids to crucify Him.
"There is not one verse where Jesus calls on government to obey the Ten Commandments. He does not call on government to minister to the poor.
"All of His exhortations are directed to Christians. He said if you have money, share it with the poor. He did not say, "If you are a Christian legislator, take money from others and give it to the poor."
"Jesus is not Robin Hood and that's not Christian charity. That's communism, which kills Christian charity because it first robs people of their own money and choices, and it has also killed millions around the world because it also robs them of their freedom."
