Where did the jesus is a commie meme come from?

Is there any evidence for this?

No

Jesus told his followers to give up their material possessions to the poor and that rich people can't get into heaven.

He's more similar to a hippie than a Marxist in all honesty, if that's what you mean by 'commie'. Commies can believe in private property and such.

That said, Christian communism was a thing.

It's just projecting a 19th century ideology on societies in the past. If you want to you can find commie ideology in his preaching of poverty or in the clearance of the temple. But so it's possible for other ideology: the Kingdom of god is somewhere in between monarchy and theocracy and so on

Well, as soon as peasants had access to the bible without rich people interpreting it for them they turned commie.
>In the Germany of that age Church and state were so closely meshed -- that the collapse of ecclesiastical prestige and power removed a main barrier to revolution. The circulation of the New Testament in print was a blow to political as well as religious orthodoxy. It exposed the compromises that the secular clergy had made with the nature of man and the ways of the world; it revealed the communism of the Apostles, the sympathy of Christ for the poor and oppressed; in these respects the New Testament was for the radical of this age a veritable “Communist Manifesto.” Peasant and proletarian alike found in it a divine warrant for dreaming of a utopia where private property would be abolished, and the poor would inherit the earth.
>In 1521 a pamphlet circulated in Germany under the title of “Karsthans”—i.e., Pitchfork John. This “Man with the Hoe” and a pen pledged peasant protection to Luther; and a continuation published in the same year advocated a rural insurrection against the Catholic clergy. Another pamphlet of 1521, by Johannes Eberlin, demanded universal male suffrage, the subordination of every ruler and official to popularly elected councils, the abolition of all capitalist organizations, a return to medieval price-fixing for bread and wine, and the education of all children in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, astronomy, and medicine.7 In 1522 a pamphlet entitled “The Needs of the German Nation” (Teutscher Nation Notturft), and falsely ascribed to the dead Emperor Frederick III, called for the removal of “all tolls, duties, passports, and fines,” the abolition of Roman and canon law, the limitation of business organizations to a capital of 10,000 guilders, the exclusion of the clergy from civil government, the confiscation of monastic wealth, and the distribution of the proceeds among the poor.

Jesus was apocalyptic. He preached that his followers should prepare for the imminent arrival of God on earth by giving away almost all of their possessions and dedicating their lives to service of the poor, because when God returned he would flip the social order and make the last first and the first last.

Modern leftists focus on where he tells people to give money to the poor (ignoring the apocalyptic context of exactly why he tells people to give so much to the poor) and declare him a socialist.

Also I'll add to this that in Jesus didn't advocate wealth redistribution by the state. In fact, he was anti-statist if anything, as he believed the state would be overthrown when God returned.

>anti-statist befor states existed
Since he's god even that is possible

This retarded argument only works if you ignore everything Paul wrote.

Jews made it up to try to get Christians to support Socialism.

>he was anti-statist if anything
Confirmed commie.

Well, what did Saint Basil II, emperor of the Roman Empire, have to say about this?

>“The bread which you hold back belongs to the hungry; the coat, which you guard in your locked storage-chests, belongs to the naked; the footwear mouldering in your closet belongs to those without shoes. The silver that you keep hidden in a safe place belongs to the one in need. Thus, however many are those whom you could have provided for, so many are those whom you wrong.”

This. Jesus pretty much went around to tell people that wealth corrupts and that they should give up their posessions and follow him. He didn't go around screaming KILL THE BOURGEOISE AND TAKE THEIR PROPERTY! Socialism is all about who should own property, Jesus was basically saying property won't help you getting saved and that it's pointless to own shit.

Anti Materialism isn't Socialism. Fuck, it's simple as that. If you don't believe in legitimacy of material things and only believe in voluntary gifting of wealth, you aren't a fucking socialist. I want to fucking bash anyone's head in who actually thinks this.

This.

I'm sure jesus would be fine with a couple of people owning half the wealth of the world while others starve.

>Jesus told his followers to give up their material possessions to the poor
Yes, if they wanted join His ministry like the Apostles. He was more flexible with ordinary followers...

>that rich people can't get into heaven.
Jesus clearly taught that it's possible for rich people to get into heaven, just difficult. You can be saved despite property.

>I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:23-26

Again, just in case anyone missed it:

>Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

>If you want to you can find commie ideology in his preaching of poverty
Marxists promise to make everyone wealthy, not that poverty is good. Marxism is the opposite of Christianity in this and other regards.

>or in the clearance of the temple.
Marxists would bulldoze the Temple.

Jesus fully respected the sovereignty of the state. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's." Also keep in mind that Rome wasn't just any old national government, it was the foreign military occupational empire that executed Jesus, and Jesus still respected its sovereignty, telling His followers to pay their taxes and not participate in insurrection.

God's Kingdom is already here. Jesus founded it. It isn't of this earth, but the next one. As such the Church doesn't much concern itself with the affairs of the temporary states of this world. When Jesus returns He's going to make a new world ruled by the theocratic monarchy of the Church with Himself as King. He's hardly anti-statist.

Jesus recognizes oppression of the poor by the rich, that much he does have in common with the socialists. However he expects his followers to just give up their posessions and wait it out until the apocalypse and they'll get their justice in the next world. He's not calling for a revolution and a redistribution like the socialists.

Are you maybe mistaking the teachings of Judas for the teachings of Jesus?

>Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.” He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it. “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.”
John 12:1-8

It's pretty obvious the verse objects judas's hidden intentions, not the idea of giving the perfume's money to the poor...

Judas' hidden intentions are the same as the hidden intentions of Marxists.

Irrelevant to the discussion, besides it being a pretty retarded generalization.

no u

>"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's."

You forgot the entire second half of the quote there. Is God not the owner of everything? How can you give something to Caeser if Caesar doesn't actually own it?

Conversely, how can you give anything to Caesar when you don't really own anything either?

Because, despite what your Jewish humanities professor or your Jewish stockbroker will tell you, God considers other things more important things than money. Maybe if people started putting "God" on money instead of "Caesar" we wouldn't be required to pay taxes to the government anymore, but I don't see that ever happening.

Then how would we be able to give you your NEET bucks?

>it's a libertarian stormfag christian episode

>Jewish humanities professor or your Jewish stockbroker
By the way I'm implying here that Marxists and Capitalists are equally obsessed with money because those are both constructs of Semitic materialism. They're two sides of the same coin if you will.

I'm not libertarian, nor am I a Nazi. I'm distributist. You don't need to be a Nazi to recognize that Jews are greedy.
