Superb, Also worth noting the concept of sin as a debt to be paid and therefore the liberation of man being physical as well as spiritual.

For a non-religious, you have an excellent grasp of the Scripture. I can’t say that I find any fault in your exegesis here and it is certainly a holistic interpretation.

There is good reason Paul warned against the love of money in 1 Timothy 6, which (like the vast majority of warnings in Scripture) was directed towards the believers. Wealth accumulation has done a great deal of damage to the Church and to our mission.

The mythical Jesus was an anti capitalist. Of course that's why he was crucified.

Jesus was a rebel. The one who warned the conformists e.g. Jewish money changers to change their ways.
