So many Christians just can’t accept that Jesus was a poor person that believed rich people all go to Hell.

jesus was never actually anticapitalist.
most of his closest followers were in fact successful businessmen and/or rich.
he convinced all those business men to give him their money.

The rich guy who stalked off? he saw him for what he was: a scam artist.

To claim that Jesus was either capitalist or anticapitalist is anachronistic to the point of absurdity.

Capitalism isn't just "free markets", it's a set of institutions and norms that really only make sense in a modern setting, with centralised states, and very specific forms of absolute property rights and contractual obligations.

Jesus, however, claimed rich people could not enter heaven. Rich people can exist outside capitalism.

Not really saying he was capitalist, but he certainly wasn’t anti-capitalist.

Mostly he was taking people’s cash and running. Miracles didn’t happened in his hometown because they all knew he was full of shit.
