Then later his brother James seemingly says the following in one of his final sermons. James was known to have spread the word closest to that of Jesus being his brother and lead disciple: "Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. .." - James

Again, these words sound more like something you would hear from a Chavez or a Castro.
Ha I like when people who don’t even follow Christianity pick a couple verses and use them to make a point. People spend a lifetime studying these vereses, miles is now a biblical expert. Why quote someone you don’t beleive?
I do not claim to be a Biblical expert, but the Bible as Brock pointed out was just the bits a few big wigs in the 3rd century decided to collate and then the rest was excluded, often violently so. Now if you want to reference only the Bible as given to you in Hollywood/theological form then that is on you, but some people like to look into the actual history of things. Jesus appeared to be a bit of a radical and surely that is no big slur. Also a nationalist too, so you ain't getting in.
