Who on here has said that Jesus was a capitalist?
Economics is mentioned right away
To use your language its a dubious proposition to say jesus supports capitalist exploitation
Not true.
You've been saying all along that you talk directly to God, and he to you. Nowhere in the New Testament are we taught that Christians will interact in that way with God. You are going beyond the Scriptures which makes you a false teacher. It's not a matter of hating you. You're simply deluded.

That's because you're a Calvinist.

James Cone's Gospel of the Penniless, Jobless, Marginalized and Despised - Truthdig
The true power of the Christian gospel is its unambiguous call for liberation from forces of oppression and for a fierce and uncompromising condemnation of all who oppress.

So true, sorry I believe you are wrong.

That is your opinion, which in my opinion is so wrong.
Sorry you don’t believe, your loss, not mine.
Can you cite the Scriptures that say God will speak directly to us, converse with us?

My brethren, seek God alone today, deny your own understanding of the Bible, and I trust you will understand the Bible as you never have. The Holy Spirit will see to it.
May you yield to God and not the Bible. Then the Bible will be truly useful to you my friend!

"Once you sit down and look at the original Hebrew and read the rest of the Scripture, it tells you exactly what it means. The problem is you got this guy, Jesus, who was the founder, and he was pretty clear. So for example, the first sermon he preached, he said, ‘‘The spirit of the Lord is upon me to give good news to the poor.’’ Luke wrote about this in the Gospel, using a Greek word for poor, ptochos. In Roman society at the time, ptochos meant those who’ve been made poor
because of exploitation.4
There were other words Luke could have used for poor, but he didn’t — he used ptochos" - william barber

you aren't the arbiter of truth. And a non believer trying to use the bible to try and sway Christians' opinions to come to your political ideology is just a waste of time.
