Just since you seem to be misunderstanding. It never says that you have to be poor just that if your family is covered you should donate to those less fortunate and prop up your community. Jesus was all about social safety nets and fair distribution of wealth. It's why the Pharacies had him killed. He was a socialist
You are so misinformed it hurts. Like maybe you should read a few of my comments from my comment history before assigning me a completely random political view that I don't hold? I've had a chance to look over your comments now and brother take a break go and touch grass. You post three times as many comments as I do and we've both been here for ten months.
render unto Ceasar what is Caesar's means follow the laws of your local government AKA pay your taxes so I have no idea where the fuck you were going with that...
If you want to debate scripture with me feel free to reply. Though you may want to do some re reading of Acts first.
Sincerely someone who actually read the Bible and was brought up in a church driven community.
All the believers were together and shared everything. They would sell their land and the things they owned and then divide the money and give it to anyone who needed it. The believers met together in the Temple every day. Acts 2: 44 to 46
About 13M households in the US have negative net worth, so would I have more wealth than 13M US households put together? Without knowing how this figure is calculated, this seems like a meaningless metric. Though the wealth gap is definitely a problem by any metric, I don't think this metric is very helpful.

So what you're saying is that I have a chance.

Socialism didn’t even exist as a concept. Jesus said give to Caesar what is Caesar’s. Go back to hexbear and tell your mom you need more HotPockets.

Wild seeing this on a church. That's a nice change from what I normally see Christians spouting
I wonder how much money the church makes.
Some of the heads of churches are multimillionaire too though, and dont have to pay taxes. Churches are part of the problem.
Indeed. It's important to remember that churches are largely independent, and most of us are trying to help lol

That said 3.6B is almost half of the world population
That's still no good
Are they counting children? 2.6B people are under the age of 20. How are they counting money for those?
I agree, still not good, but a very useless metric.
It's only useless if you make things up about it.
