Christ was a Socialist

[Harry Dresden]

Yep. And, because a lot of the books in the modern Bible have so much missing out of them, that is why there are so many different varieties of Christianity. That is where the various religions plug in their own brand of spirituality, as well as why there is such a rift between various religions THAT USE THE SAME FREAKING BOOK!!!!!!!

And............if you put the wrong stuff in the wrong place, it may give you back the wrong information, which will result in a wrong assessment and teaching.

I'll even give you an example. The Rapture. In Judaic theology, it talks about a time when evil will no longer be required for the world, and it will be winked out of existence.

Matter of fact, if you have some of the FULL books of the OT, you will understand Revelation a lot better, because there are some 613 references to things in the OT that have been edited out of current Bibles.

The History Channel showed how the current Bible has been modified over the years to have the OT modified to focus the story on Yesha and the NT, which then points towards Revelation, which points back to the OT, but the references that used to be there are gone.

Most of that was done by the Catholics when they mixed in pagan rituals with Christianity.

Also may be why Martin Luther rebelled against the Catholics as well, he figured out the paganism in Catholicism.

yea i left the Catholic Church decades ago....allways looked at them as the worlds biggest and richest Cult....

Know what's going to be funny? When the Christians THINK they're getting raptured, when in reality, they will be winked out of existence for twisting the Word and not listening to the WHOLE book.

YEP!! Utopian talk is the sign of Socialist fanatics! And they will die for their cause!!

These threads are retarded. Just like the "Hitler was a Liberal/Conservative" threads.

Hitler was at least a twentieth-century political figure, with at least some basis for comparison to the modern political spectrum.

 

[Cecilie1200]

If the government is small, it is easier for corporations to influence it and doesn't cost them as much money.

If you're gonna shrink government like that, then you should get rid of the corporate lobbyists as well.

ABS....i am for getting rid of EVERY Lobbyist there is.....the ONLY lobbyist allowed in DC should be your State Reps.....

I hate to break it to you, but the minute you contact your Representative about an issue, you technically become a lobbyist yourself. To "get rid of every lobbyist" is to basically do away with the First Amendment right to petition the government.

Hitler ruined nations

Not one nation. Not 2 nations. But almost the entire European continent!

So When some declare that the left or right are Nazi's, that says alot!!

The reason why Hitler is not a valid comparison is because neither republicans nor democrats have killed 9 million people.

Therefore, there is no valid comparison, and any comparison made is insulting to those 9 million dead.

It would be great if there was enough charity to feed the poor and care for sick but the fact is there just isn't enough and there never will be.

Social problems such poverty, poor education, and lack of healthcare are the most difficult problems to solve. Apparently the Republicans decided long ago, that these problems were not worth addressing. Cut taxes because tax payers vote. Cut social programs because poor people don't vote. And of course reduce the size of government because we know that government is evil.

the Govt. can be as evil as those big corporations.....so yea,keep Govt as small as possible.....the post itself sounds like something Rdean would post....

If the government is small, it is easier for corporations to influence it and doesn't cost them as much money.

If you're gonna shrink government like that, then you should get rid of the corporate lobbyists as well.

That makes no sense whatsoever.

The less gubmint there is to sell, the less there will be for lobbyists to try and buy.

Cecile....read what i said....make the comparison....a state rep brings his constituent concerns to Congress...the lobbyist i am talking about brings his wallet....should i make this easier to understand?.....if you bring money to the table to garner favors for a private corporation....your out on your ass....bottom line...no money allowed to buy a Congress person....is that better?

Looking at the scriptures it appears to me that Christ would be described as a socialist today and a flaming liberal. Look at Mathew 25:34:

"Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me."

It is hard to imagine that Christ would not be pleased with providing healthcare and jobs to million in need or laws that would punish the greedy.

Christians and Capitalist have always made rather strange bedfellows. How the GOP has managed to unite these two groups with such contradictory philosophies is beyond me.

Fool there is a major difference between using one's own wealth (capitalist with a conscience) to help the poor and stealing the living of another (socialism) to buy influence over the poor.

I think a thorough reading of the Bible favors the former.

Mostly, it says they're puerile, agenda-driven idiots, at least in my book. I don't have a problem with having an agenda or being partisan, but for the love of God, at least come up with something more mature and original than "Nazi! Just like Hitler!"

I never said it was a valid comparison. I said it had more validity than trying to place Jesus Christ on a modern political spectrum.

And the Representative knows what his constituents concerns are how? I know you hate to believe it, but those "eeeevil" businesses hiring lobbyists are owned and run by . . . CONSTITUENTS. And bribing a government official is already illegal, and not a standard lobbying practice, whatever the news media would like you to believe. I don't know if I CAN make this easier to understand. Basically, you're advocating against something that's ALREADY not allowed. What next? Demanding that murder be severely reprimanded?

If government is small, it has less power and can be less influential for businesses and therefore of less use to business.

The less gubmint there is to sell, the less there will be for lobbyists to try and buy.

The less there is for lobbyists to try and buy, the higher the price will be, and eventually, only corporations will have access to our representatives.

The less you have, the more the price goes up, or did you forget basic supply and demand economics?

Greed makes you stupid dude..........

If Christ was a socialist, He would have paid for our sins with someone elses blood.

How do you know that Jesus did not pull a Che Guevara?

You know--He died, then a bunch of his followers die.

HEY WAIT--what about all those Christians martyred by the Romans. Also, let us not forget what happened to his disciples. And this talk of committing the soul to a heavenly paradise by Christians?

YEP!! Utopian talk is the sign of Socialist fanatics! And they will die for their cause!!

Annnnnnd. the thread dies from ignorance and a cantankerous spirit looking to argue foolishness.

I'm done here then. I've no desire to waste time in this manner. You've been given free will to believe what you want.

 

[Harry Dresden]

And the Representative knows what his constituents concerns are how?

well lets see....BY TALKING TO HIS CONSTITUENTS.....like he is supposed to...Christ you actually had to ask that?....and quite arguing just argue.....you know fucking well what i am saying about lobbyist buying favors....if you dont its because you are for the kind of lobbying that goes on now....a "lobbyist" brings concerns...not money to Washington,or he/she is told to take a hike....thats the way it should be.....AND no where did i say anything about BRIBERY....

And the minute he talks to them, and they take a side on an issue, they become . . . LOBBYISTS! They're LOBBYING for a certain position.

I know fucking well what you're saying: "Take away the rights I enjoy from other people who are using them in a way I don't approve of." And don't give me that bullshit about "If you don't agree with me, you're in favor of [fill in the blank]". I can state what I am and am not in favor of just fine without any help from you, thank you very much. I'm in favor of NOT restricting First Amendment rights just because some armchair legislator thinks he has a right to limit everyone else's access to the government.

No, I'm refusing to enable you in your hatred towards Christians. Done well at hiding it for a while... but it always comes out in the end. Find another patsy.
