10/17/18 SOCIALISM CONTRADICTS GOD'S COMMANDMENTS
SOCIALISM AND CHRISTIANITY ARE DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED AND ETERNALLY IRRECONCILABLE.
CHRISTIANS NEED TO STAND FOR TRUTH, NOT POLITICAL ADVANTAGES.
I recently heard a non-believer state the anti-Biblical position of Socialism. If non-believers understand it, then there is no excuse for believers to be blind to God's truth.
I will state this idea from my point of view.
SOCIALISM CONTRADICTS GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.
First, God commanded us to have no other god's before Him. Socialism and the State replaces God when we follow them rather than follow Him. In order to understand that Socialism is anti-Biblical and anti-God, you have to know about the Bible, about God and about Socialism. For a person to claim to be Christian, while embracing or excusing Socialism reveals the fact that the person either does not know the Bible or does not know Socialism.
State worship has been around since after the flood. The power of the State has grown and spread throughout the world. Anti-God and anti-Bible Statism has been seen in the Roman Empire, Communism, Nazism, Socialism, so-called Democratic Socialism, far eastern nations such as pre-war Japan, Mao's China, and post war North Korea. These authoritarian nations have either denied the existence of God, outlawing Christianity or they have declared their rulers to be god's, and persecuting Christians for not worshiping the State and the god of the State.
Second, God commanded that we should have NO IDOLS. We think of idols as false gods, whether materialism, heroes, or objects of worship.The New Testament tells us that GREED or COVETOUSNESS is Idolatry. Wanting that which does not belong to you, envying someone for what they have is IDOLATRY. Socialism is a system that takes from those who have and gives to those who do not have. Material wealth is not taken away from a person who has been proved to be a thief. This leads to the next point of view.
Third, God commanded us to not steal. Socialism is the power to steal from one person and give it to another person. The supposed humane concerns of Socialism can be addressed through self sacrifice and community concern, but Socialism wants to address human problems by forcing people to take care of those problems at the threat of government enforcement and punishment. Socialism, not Christianity, will take your money and pay for the murdering of pre-born and partially born babies. Socialists will take your money and pay for women/men to commit adultery with contraceptive protection.
Remember also, the Bible clearly says if a person does not work, then that person should not eat.
There is not a successful Socialist Nation in the history of the world.
Socialism makes slaves of everyone, Christianity does not. It is the foundation of Christianity that set people free from the authoritarian rule of Europe and set people free from human slavery. (By the way, it was blood thirsty, money hungry, sexually corrupt African Muslims that built, and has continued to sustain the most widespread and deeply ingrained system of human slavery in the history of the world, not Christianity or a free America).
