Nope. See picrel
Jesus also never taught that fanfic you made up. He Himself worked as a carpenter until He started His ministry and far from demanding we abandon our families, He baptised entire households together, as in the case of the Roman legionary. Also you don't have to abandon all material possessions to give everything to His church, the Patriarch Abraham was an example of a man who was given great material wealth yet was still spiritually poor because he wasn't attached to these material possessions and merely considered himself the custodian of that which actually belonged to God.
>He said not to fight against injustice, but to submit to it
He said nothing of the sort. He taught dignified resistance, such as by turning the other cheek (which had particular meaning at the time in both Roman and Jewish culture that was mutually exclusive with "submission"). Also see His removal of the money changers from the temple courtyard.
It would be impossible for an eternal, unchanging God with a constant and eternal nature to contradict Himself by teaching that fighting against injustice was universally wrong.
Stop listening to grifting hippie Prot LARPers and try speaking to an Orthodox monk from Mount Athos who spends every waking moment not in prayer or doing prostrations just reading and debating scripture.

>All of these people lived centuries after Christianity was invented
And they are authoritative Church Fathers, each of whom participates in Christ's one eternal priesthood and each of whom was ordained through a valid Apostolic succession. He promised us that the Holy Spirit would guide His church - which IS the body of Christ, by the way - and that the gates of hell would not prevail against it; to suggest that they failed would be to suggest that the God of the universe, who holds all of creation within the hollow of His hand, is a weakling and a liar.
The fact of the matter is - short of our own personal sins, of course - we ARE following Christ's actual teachings. It's just that You, a non-Christian, are presuming to determine what is and is not valid dogma and exegesis, despite having no such authority to do so, and then rejecting genuine Christianity for failing to conform to your own personal modern liberal preconceptions.
