I think the parable shows that Jesus was a communist.

Re: Next Parable: The Rich Young Ruler
"'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbor as yourself.'"
​
So, apparently, coveting your neighbours Ox is back in?

Re: Next Parable: The Rich Young Ruler
You're telling me you don't covet any of your posessions? A favourite pen? Your new car? Your lucky underpants?
​
And I don't see any mention of God in Jesus' list.
​
There is actually a point behind the witicism. Jesus list does not match the ten commandments, unless you're willing to accept all sorts of broad interpretations. Any answers as to why?
