Bs. In the worker in vineyard parable, Jesus basically said people should be paid what they are worth, not equally. This alone disprove any communistic values.

In another parable of the valuable coins, he conveys people are rewarded for what they improved on. The lazy man that bury his possession was not only scolded but had his valuables taken away.

There's a consistent message Jesus keep saying about working hard and getting paid. Not begging for hand outs.

I'm not sure what you mean by Benning for hand outs.

Are you suggesting that communism would be a lifestyle of lazy handouts?

Isn't that what welfare is? Though when it come to using violence to kill and steal from others, they are not lazy in that aspect.

If you source your info from strictly Western news, then this is the logical conclusion.

Thank you. Jesus was no socialist or communist. That is a myth pushed by crony socialists. He preached community and individual charity w/ local elements of socialism but not the so called socialism created by engles and Marx. Jesus could have cared less about any of this worldliness.
