Was Jesus Christ a socialist?

[Zona]

JESUS WAS THE SON OF MAN...The Invocation of GOD incarnate upon the Earth and didn't care a WIT of Man's politics. *INCLUDING YOURS ZONA*

Your thoughts and knowledge on religion is hilarious.....Is this from that "christian" mormon bible?

Oh and in case you all missed it, T said Mormons are christians......no really, he said this!

YOU have no Fucking CLUE of me...nor will you EVER.

I know you like Levin...(that in itself is hilarious)and you honestly believe Mormons are Christians...

I'm more concerned about who are socialists or support socialism now than from 2000 years ago.

Me too? Who is supporting socialism now days?

I stated that broadly, I'm not accusing anyone. Personally, I think terms are misused, we are closer to corporate fascism than socialism,imho.

We certainly are.

 

[Ravi]

Yes. But that doesn't mean we should be socialists.

I would agree if you could link me to a trend of these type threads.

Thanks and god bless.

It's not a trend...It's a thread that recurs every few months, and the person starting the thread almost always acts as though he/she is coming up with some brilliant observation.

Well, it's unbrilliant, to the point of total idiocy, to go with being really really ooooooolllld.

Can you link us to the last couple times it was done? I would appreciate it..because I couldnt find it in the immediate past.

Thanks and God bless.

Did Jesus advocate government owning the means of production?

I dont thnk so...but:


1. Jesus owned nothing. 2. Jesus argued for the dissolution of the family and the establishment of communes. 3. Jesus loved all people regardless of ethnicity or class. 4. Jesus revolted against the imperial government, established religion and finance capitalism (usury). 5. Jesus taught that we should act as one body, one blood. 6. Jesus taught that his kingdom (ie nation state) is in the heart and not below the feet. 7. Jesus taught that we should fight for Justice and 'turn the other cheek' to petty morality. 8. Jesus was a laborer and a teacher. 9. Jesus practiced healing and forgiveness. 10. Jesus taught that you can't be an imperialist and a disciple at the same time.

And WHEN did LEVIN enter into this?

I see: Since to have to Defer and DISTRACT when you know YOU HAVE BEEN BEATEN ON YOUR POINT.

Blame/Minimize/Deny/Obfuscate. You follow the Leftist Tactics well Zona.

 

[ScreamingEagle]

shouldn't this thread go under religion...?

 

[Zona]

Yes. But that doesn't mean we should be socialists.

Agreed...I also believe we should follow his beliefs.

what a quandary.

dernitt, you are correct sir. My mind was stuck in politics because of this recent beck thing and him mentioning god so much. A mormon god, but god non the less.

He also chased the money changers out of the Temple, I'm no Religious scholar but I don't know where he supported FORCING others to take care of the poor via force of government.

Jesus seemed to avoid the govt all he could. Both the Jewish and roman governments.
Well except when he hung out in the temple as a child. Before he rebelled.

 

[The T]

Yes. But that doesn't mean we should be socialists.

Agreed...I also believe we should follow his beliefs.

what a quandary.

However Jesus also belived that a person should never DO these things at the expense of others or forcing Government to do so at their BEHEST It was an individual CHOICE of men that had to answer to GOD for.

Zona? YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE.

Your Liberal Doctrine at the Expense of Jesus has herby been CRUSHED.

YOu said I dont know anything about you...(did you forget you wrote this?)...I highlighted it above in case you forgot.

Now, back to you saying Mormons are christians. Seriously, did you apologize and say you were wrong yet? Did I miss it?

 

[SFC Ollie]

Hmm, under Socialism the government takes care of you by spreading the wealth around. I don't think JC wanted to give any more wealth to the government than they were already stealing.

I believe JC said to take care of the poor, not to give your money to the government to take care of the poor.

But then I am not a religious scholar or anything like that.

But at the individual level, he didn't go around asking that the Romans provide food and lodging for all and tax the people for it did he , he didn't advocate government confiscating the sheep herders property for the good of society did he?

Preaching and governing are two different things and should remain that way, we have far too much moral posturing in politics as it is

 

[shintao]

I have been looking more and more into exactly what he said and from what I can gather, I think he would have been called a socialist by some now days..

No mention of co pay though..hmmmm.

The word Liberal is used in the black book. The word conservative isn't mentioned anywhere.

Thank you for your honesty.

We would all be better if we...

Maybe he was a libertarian

Jesus did not belong to PETA becuase he transferred evil spirits to a bunch of pigs.
