Yes, Jesus said to sell all that you have and give the money to the poor
I am curious. As a believer in Christ do you personally sell all you have and give it to the poor?

So we have christ telling a rich man to give all he has away to the poor and that is not supposed to apply to all of us who have more than our fellow man? Pity I always thought that was the precise lesson to be learned.

You are stealing scripture in order to promote socialism.
That is twice you have refused to answer me and evaded my questions by making insinuations of my motives.
If you are at a loss to answer for the shortcomings on your part to apply the teachings you so vehemently adhere to be man enough to say so and do not presume that you have any clue as to what I want or do not want sir.The fact that you make points that you refuse to address without attacking the man placing them says volumes about the face you show the world.
And by the way do have yourself a good day alright?

"We cannot define anything precisely! If we attempt to, we get into that paralysis of thought that comes to philosophers, who sit opposite each other, one saying to the other, 'You don't know what you are talking about!' The second one says 'What do you mean by know? What do you mean by talking? What do you mean by you?', and so on."
