The simplest answer of all is that
nowhere does Jesus ever advocate any form of
socialism.
Try as much as you like - you will not
find it!
He does warn against the dangers of
trusting in wealth and selfishness. Quite rightly! (Hardly a socialist
clarion call!)
He does not demand that the
state should take over your life and your finances.
He does not undermine
God.
He encourages people to build a
relationship with God.
He does not undermine the social
structure.
He does not advocate
uncontrolled behaviour and passions.
He does not attack the social status
quo.
He does not undermine
marriage.
He does good without ever being a
do-gooder.
He never advocates spending money that
you do not have.
He cut through the false ideologies of
His day and showed people 'The Way'.
He advocated 'trust in God rather than
trust in systems'.
Never once does he suggest that tax
burdens should be excessive.
He would clearly never have advocated
'the printing of money' to solve problems.
He even supports the idea of investment - He
even tells a parable about it. (And yes, of course I am aware of the underlying
spiritual meaning!)
He demands compassion
for others whereas socialism only ever pretends to
care.
I also
recall that The Apostle Paul stated that if a man would not work - he should NOT
eat!
This runs contrary to all modern
socialism - Woy Jenkins even said that drones should not have to work if they
didn't want to!
Socialism in the Scriptures? -
No.
Some will point out that the
apostles 'held all things in common'. YES, but vitally - they were
VOLUNTEERS!
Self explanatory title. I abhor that nicey nicey, politically correct, pseudo-Christianity which almost always supports leftwing attitudes - which in most cases are profoundly anti-Gospel. This Blog supports persecuted Christians. This Blog exposes cults. This Blog opposes junk science. UPDATED DAILY. This is not a forum. This Blog supports truly Christian websites and aids their efforts. It is hardhitting and unashamedly evangelical so if it offends - please do not come to this site!
