Teachings of Jesus

Here is a list of Jesus' teachings:

• A follower of Jesus stops working for money

• A follower of Jesus sells everything that they own and gives the money to the poor

• A follower of Jesus goes into all the world, to preach to others obedience to Jesus, searching for other followers of Jesus'

These three teachings ^, are foundational.

And they are teachings nearly all denominations avoid at all cost.

Go to Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah Witnessses, Baptists, enter whichever denomination you wish, and almost NONE of them will actually preach others to obey Jesus on these teachings, much less do them themselves. 

However the kind of life they produce, is radically different than the kind the lukewarm churches preach. 

A person may spend 40 hours a week, working for money. 

Instead, that time should be spent preaching Jesus and his message (if they want to follow Jesus).

While doing so, they trust that God will provide for their needs, their food and clothing.

Another verse that goes together with what Jesus taught on selling our possessions are 

• Do not store treasures on Earth.

Another verse that goes along with what Jesus taught about not working for money, addresses the very common question most people have when this message is preached to them, that is, how will they eat, drink, and about clothes.

Jesus taught for his disciples to consider the birds and the lillies of the field!

AFTER a person has taken those steps, Jesus has other teachings as well, which a disciple should do their best to follow. 

𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒆𝒙𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚

Jesus taught that it was better to be unmarried.

If a disciple is to be married, they are to remain married and cannot remarry

They cannot marry someone who is divorced. 

Jesus taught his followers to not commit adultery, which, not only includes the act itself, but also the lust of the eyes as well.

𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒔

Jesus says to love your enemies. 

He taught also to turn the other cheek, is someone slaps you on one, offer them the other.

If someone has stopped working for money in the system, and is spending their time preaching Jesus' message ( his real teachings), how can they be enlisted in any military service?

No they cannot go to war.
