Dating a liberal, they keep telling me that Jesus would have been socialist/Communist if he was alive today. Communist doesn't support religion too. But, do you guys have any verses that talks about how Jesus was never a socialist/Communist?

Communism wears a cloak of judial Christian values to hide its greater goals. Yes the bible preaches:

Charity

Loving thy neighbor

And anti wealth sentiment (al la the camel the the eye of a needle passage, which has some greater context)

But it also has some very non communist ideas too

Being the best you can be

Family values

Finding god as higher than the state.

When debating a communist remember their founder, Marx, who routinely discards data that doesn't fit his theory. What the bible says doesn't matter. The context doesn't matter. The practice of worship doesn't matter. The out of context, misinterpreted line is all that matters if it helps them win
