Subject: [Anarchy] RE: Jesus a Communist?


i think that we have strayed off topic slightly, which is is Yeshua a communist/anarchist? i think we can clearly say yes. the argument that Yeshua claimed he was one-third of the supreme power is wrong, the trinity is a construction of the latter church, not a claim of Yeshua. Yeshua's message of Love and inclusion, his attack of wealth (The Love of money is the root of all evil, it is easier to get a camal through an eye of an needle than for a rich man to enter the Gates of Heaven)
the sermon on the mount, the beatitudes, Yeshua is pretty clearly a radical.
