Yes he did, last week.
Self defense or an act of war. Either way, not murder.

Feeding and healing the poor is a biggie. Keeping your communications with god private, not loudly praying in public so everyone knows how pious you are, is another. Giving massive tax cuts to the super wealthy when Jesus said their wealth was an impediment to salvation.
There's a start.
Just because Jesus indicated that people should give their wealth to help the poor in no way means or implies that he would order or approve of the government taking peoples wealth to help the poor.
Well, feel free to set it on fire in the front yard then. Either way, Jesus doesn't want greedy rich ****ers in his kingdom. His words.
He didn't have a problem with Zacchaeus.
AFTER Zacchaeus gave away 50% of his wealth to the poor.
No you failed. Please show where Christ supported those things on my list and quit ***** footing around it.
His choice. Which was my point.
Jesus spoke of tolerance and inclusion. Asking the SC to make discrimination against gays a right for conservative Christians is not exactly tolerance and inclusion
Jesus spoke of sharing wealth. Cheering on Trump as he transfers wealth out of the pockets of the working poor in order to cuts taxes for the wealthy is something less than sharing the wealth.
Raising the bar for the working poor to get SNAP support, cutting the ACA out from under them, and then calling them stupid isn't the charity Jesus recommended.
The conservative Christian's enshrinement of the rich above everyone else, honoring them because they are the sole creators of a robust economy, ignoring Trump's sins because he is promoting the rich and using all that to denigrate the working poor as lazy, non-deserving, immoral, and stupid probably isn't what Jesus had in mind with the parable of the camel getting through the eye of a needle and the rich man demanding heaven.
When Jesus spoke of spreading the good word of the NT, I'm pretty sure sending anti-gay missionaries to Uganda to pass laws killing gays was not what Jesus would have called spreading the good word.
About the only activity that Jesus recommended people do that conservative Christians actually do is make some effort to feed the poor and send unwanted clothing to foreign countries.

Yet Jesus only approved of that rich guy after he gave away his wealth.
I’ve said repeatedly that I don’t understand Christian voters voting for Trump.
What are people voting against that Christ talked about?
Can you give me a direct quote Jesus had about abortion?

? I don't know why you're asking me that.
This is an abortion thread in the abortion sub forum. If your comment wasn't about abortion, what was it about?
What about Solomon? David? It's not about having money -- it's about LOVING money.
My "comment" you quoted was a question directed at the OP.
King David was wildly rich and God called him "a man after my own heart".

We’re Solomon and David alive at the same time as Jesus?
And, considering if you actually read the OP, my question is exactly on target.
Ah, so we’re back to using the Old Testament rather than following the New Testament right?
