"Christian Socialism. That obeys the teachings of the Christ."
OMG!!!!
Isn't there a limit on how many things you can be wrong about in one day??????
This may be the first time I've seen someone know less than zero: Really....how do you find your way back to that split-level port-a-potty you call home?????
I should be paid for the amount of education I'm providing to you.....
Bottom line: there is no religious basis for socialism in any form. Any such suggestion is merely an attempt by one of the shameful six...
....communism, socialism, Liberalism, Nazism, Progressivism, or Fascism,...
...to cloak itself in the rectitude of the Bible.
And the reason?
There is no requirement of forced 'charity' in the Bible. .... under biblical direction...it is up to the giver to decide to give and how much he or she can afford to give, and, in many cases, whether he or she will give at all!
That's correct.....there is no demand to underwrite the undeserving.
God allows free choice. In fact, free will is essential to true Christianity.
It is only under the atheistic doctrines communism, socialism, Liberalism, Nazism, Progressivism, or Fascism, that the fruits of one's labor is confiscated, and used by these various totalitarian forms to advance despotism.
Not only is the idea of 'socialism' an absolute corruption of the message of the Bible....but the service to others, to customers, provided to accomplish the voluntary transactions that are an inherent part of capitalism is more in accord with Judeo-Christian values than is socialism/Liberalism.
QED: there is no religious defense for socialism.
And....QED...you're a moron.
"
Christian Socialism, movement of the mid-19th century that attempted to apply the social principles of
Christianity to modern industrial life. The term was generally associated with the demands of Christian activists for a social program of political and economic action on behalf of all individuals, impoverished or wealthy, and the term was used in contradistinction to laissez-faire individualism. Later, Christian Socialism came to be applied in a general sense to any movement that attempted to combine the fundamental aims of
socialism with the religious and ethical convictions of
Christianity."
Christian Socialism | political philosophy
The teachings of Jesus applied to modern life, Gook *****.
No, you imbecile.....
mainline Protestants were co-opted by Marxists!
1. In 1907, a group of Methodists formed the Methodist Federation for Social Service (MFSS). The aim was to influence other Protestant groups. The next day, the group is received by President Theodore Roosevelt in the White House. One of the leaders, Harry F. Ward drafts
a Social Creed that will be adopted by the 1908 General Conference and by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. MFSA » History Timeline
2. In the early Twenties
the Communist Party made considerable gains in its program to infiltrate the churches. This effort was led by such prominent "American" clergymen as Harry F. Ward ( "one of the leading collaborators of, and apologists for, the Soviet Union." ...), Jerome Davis, William B. Spofford, and Albert Rhys Williams. at the 1942 convention of the Federal Council of Churches called for: Ultimately,
"a world government of delegated powers." Complete abandonment of U.S. isolationism. Strong immediate limitations on national sovereignty. International control of all armies and navies. A universal system of money.... Worldwide freedom of immigration. Progressive elimination of all tariff and quota restrictions on world trade .... A "democratically controlled" international bank ....

The Social Gospel enthusiasts switched the aim from labor rights to attacks on the “profit motive,” …capitalism.
a.
“The church, therefore, in the opinion of the federation, must accept
the Marxist point of view…The federation, therefore, wants the religious leaders to preach a religious creed, not based upon the Bible and in defense of the American way of life, but one that is
based upon the atheistic foundations of the philosophy of Marx. The federation wants the ministers to declare their judgment against the social economic system under which Americans live and prosper today in favor of the Socialist system, which in Russia and the satellite countries has brought the peoples.”
