Christianity Was Always for the Poor (David B. Hart, Jacobin)

Surprisingly great article.
In point of fact, the New Testament, alarmingly enough, condemns personal wealth not merely as a moral danger, but as an intrinsic evil. Actually, the texts are so unambiguous on this matter that it requires an almost heroic defiance of the obvious to fail to grasp their import.
Yes. Or, as I have often said, and find myself saying even more often, Christianity is simply incoherent when mixed with power.
Christianity Was Always for the elite maintaining control over the poor.
FTFY!
You obviously didn’t read the article.
