Capitalism Is NOT Biblical

Anti-capitalism - Wikipedia

Jesus Christ was NOT a capitalist, he was not a money obsessor or a money lover. And for the record, I am not a socialist, a Nazi, or fascist. Socialism and Nazism are two sides of the same Jesuit coin.

A perfect example proving that Jesus Christ was not a capitalist is found in Matthew 6:24. In Matthew 6:24, Jesus says that you can't serve both God and mammon (money). A new testament Christian either follows God or money, there is no in-between or middle ground.

Matthew 6:24 - "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."

The apostle Paul expressed the same mindset and sentiment.

1 Timothy 6:10 - "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

Three of the four gospel accounts make mention of a rich young ruler desiring to follow Christ. Jesus Christ tells the rich young ruler that it's hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God (Matthew 19:24, Mark 10:25, Luke 18:25).
