The Jesus who said this in the book of Matthew, chapter 19:
21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
What a commie.
Of course, these days, Jesus is too much of a lib cuck for them, so they might not be the party of Jesus too much longer.

Seriously, if I were Christian - and I have read enough of the Bible and christian philosophers that I could be if I wasn’t a pretty convinced atheist - I’d genuinely think the evangelicals and a figure like Trump had to be the symbolical Antichrist with how they act and think
You’d be right too.
And that hasn’t been updated since 2020.
There’s also Ecclisiasticus 34:18-21 which basically calls the owner class knowing murderers and robbers trying to buy their way out of the consequences whenever they make charity out of their wealth.
Whosoever makes donations out of goods they have gotten immorally, their charity is absurdity; their gifts are a mockery of generosity.
The heavens detest charity given by bloody hands; no amount n’or value given by such serves to appease the highest.
Whosoever takes for giving what little fills the stores of the disfortuned, they do the same as one who kills a child before their parents’ eyes.
The bread of the disfortuned is their lifeblood, and whosoever defrauds the disfortuned of it, their hands run red with that blood, the same as any murderer or brute of different means.
A different transcription of that passage is what turned a conquistador into a Jesuit bishop who would refuse dying rights to landowners who wouldn’t free their indigenous slaves. Dude wasn’t perfect even after his revelation, but he still did a serious 180 when the meaning of that passage sunk in for him.
