Jesus wasn’t against capitalism because capitalism didn’t exist when he was alive. However, he was pretty clearly against people getting rich at the expense of others which is at the core of capitalism. Have you even bothered to read the other comments on here? In addition, your definition of capitalism is wrong. One more thing, Jesus wasn’t against selling things. He pretty clearly said “sell your possessions and give to the poor.”
How did you know? Which verse says that? Jesus's only issue with the people selling fish were that they were selling it in the temple of God. Otherwise, he wouldn't have cared. In the Bible, he has never spoken a word against tax collectors, much less Capitalists. Proof?
You're clearly behind on your mysticism. Jesus did not believe the temple was a physical place. Jesus believed every person could commune with God where previously to speak with god you had to do it in the holiest of holys which could only be found in the temple. Essentially saying that God resides in people and people are the temple and they only have to pray to be able to speak directly with God.
Or some shit like that.
Yeah obv, I know that. But like, Jesus isn't against Capitalism!

Jesus died for our sins. Not for you to be lazy.
Jesus QUIT his job because he was leading by example!
Why else would God have a job but to demonstrate how frivolous it is!
he most literally was.
[Matthew 19:24] says otherwise
