Ror, it doesn't suit you to put words in my mouth. It would be a lie to say that Christ never addressed economical issues, but like you said they should be considered in context. Consider the implications of giving to Caesar what is Caesar's. Consider the widow's mite. Jesus was not a comunist, and implying that I had thought so by your hyperbolic speech is just too cheap of a shot.

Jesus simply advocated a redistribution of wealth. The rich should aid the poor. Simple as that.

Blanco, it's not a matter of whether or not you harm your fellow man, but whether or not you remember him when you count your blessings. Much is expected from those to whom much has been given. Your comparison of Christianity to capitalism is logically flawed, anyways.
