It's not the wealth that's unChristian, it's what it can do to you. There's a lot of distractions from God in the world, and wealth is only one of them, though it's a big one. Note that wealth here doesn't refer to relative wealth alone; most of the poor and middle-class today have enough wealth to fool them into thinking they can do without God.

It's hard for anyone to be saved, it's just the wealthy have more stumbling blocks in their way.

Matthew 7

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Jesus was probably a Commie, tbh.

Unconditional love doesn't pay my bills.

depends on who you sell it to. it has paid the church's bills for over 2 millennia. So you're obviously doing something wrong!

I don't know why that artist thinks Jesus would hit those people. Bizarre image.

My body is my temple, so I should be tax exempt!

The Widow’s Offering

Mark 12

41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.

43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

Parable of the Good Samaritan

Luke 10

25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii [A denarius was the usual daily wage of a day laborer] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

what is even this thread

Natural theology is a branch of philosophy dealing with the knowledge of theological truths (like the existence of God) based on observed natural facts apart from divine revelation. Operating from first principles and using the laws of logic, philosophers like Aristotle, Aquinas, Scotus, and Leibniz crafted arguments deriving the existence of God via reason alone and without the aid of scripture or religious experiences.

Natural theology is popular with Deists, who reject revealed religion (like Christianity) but recognize that reason nonetheless points to the existence of God. Natural theology isn't incompatible with Christianity (indeed, some of the best natural theologians have been Christian), but it leads only to a partial understanding of God and has no salvific power.

One example is the Argument from Motion:

A more formal statement of the argument, from Ed Feser's Five Proofs of the Existence of God:

@lejend Do you like coffee? If so, what kind do you drink?

[lejend]

I haven't had coffee in months, but it's fine I guess.
