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?

Jesus said that all the law and OT scriptures speak of Him. Given that...

One of the 10 Commandments "you shall not steal" implies private ownership of property.

Another from the OT law and repeated in the NT, "The man who doesn't work doesn't deserve to eat."

Paul, under the counsel of Jesus, instructed Christians to work to support themselves, and not leech off those around them and create animosity.
