Freedom is more than just a dream; it’s lasting love and life for all who believe… for all who receive (Christ by faith). It’s not given to us by small Gov and indeed not by big Government.. not by greedy capitalism (and not all is..) or by greedy-increasingly-popular Socialism (legislated stealing – taking from one to give to another).
Bottom line – Freedom is a gift to people by God Almighty. It was his original idea.
Heard it said, something like this.. "If you’re not some form of Socialist by age of 20, you haven’t got a heart. If you’re still a Socialist by age 30, you haven’t got a brain. Not to be a real Conservative at 20 is proof of want of heart; but to be one at 30 is proof of want of real understanding ..of what's so." Remember this...
Socialism is at odds with Biblical Christianity and against real Christians (this is a non-partisan comment if you study the word). Bible-believing Born again Christians are lost in a spiritual battle today, and some sad Lee sin by silence. it's been said that silence is golden but sometimes it's just flat-out yellow. All it takes for evil to prevail in the land is for righteous people to sit down and say nothing.. to do nothing that glorifies God. Four in ten in America falsely believe that some form of Socialism would be good for America. Wicked
Off based Karl Marx said that, "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people". God isn't religious and doesn't want you to be -- he simply wants a righteous relationship with individuals through Christ. Think about it, religious people gave Christ a hard time while here. Cuba, North Korea, China, Russia... remember when it was the Soviet Union ..they've been all about hard repression and oppression. Religious places, sure. Even now Russia's been making new laws to stop Christian evangelism. Jesus in the Bible tells real Christians to go spead the Gospel. Are we to start obeying Socialist or merely religious people.. instead of God. Nope! See Matthew 6:33. Red hearts haven't changed much it appears, not too high a percentage of em have in these Socialist and Communist places. Why let their whack-ideas spread in our Land?
Socialism is has been growing in popularity in the States here (Four in ten, yes 40% of Americans now embrace some form of Socialism and this needs to change a.s.a.p.). What is it really? Socialism is stealing.. plain and simple, it's legislative theft. You know that stealing is addressed in the Ten Commandments. Socialism is taking from one to give to another. Very destructive for a people and nations. Hey, keep watching Venezuela! Here in the States politicians call it, “Democratic Socialism” and American Democrats keep pushing for this daily now.. but it’s no less destructive.
“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.” ~ Gerald L.K. Smith
That is so true. The great Adrian Rogers used to quote this often.
Socialism and Communism, both are at odds with Biblical Christianity. Duh! Both are against the work of real Christians. Healthy normal people do well to honor Christ, to worship God, to obey Him putting the Lord first (Matthew 6:33-34 Have you been born from above yet? You must be, because He said you must be. John 3:3). Sure be reborn spiritually. And we all should work smart even into old age. Our goal isn't to retire and sit on a beach working on a tan. God has a plan for you to glorify Him and be a blessing to others.
It's okay to own your property (it's not mine, it's yours), yes practically serve people. We all need to love people. Even show forgive and love to your enemies ...by God's wisdom and grace. These sinners also need the Gospel.
You just can never multiply wealth by dividing it.
There is a God, but Socialism and it's big bro, Communism are really at odds with Christ's Great Commission... falsely saying there’s a good life for you without God and there is no God. So false. I prefer to see all the evidence and read Genesis 1:27-28, “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
People are not the enemy – they are to be served, loved, listened to, reasoned with, and taught what’s really so from the Bible, science and real history.
Jesus Christ felt genuine compassion for people who were oppressed, harassed and manipulated ..so lost, like sheep without a shepherd. He still loves you and all people.
The answer to greed with Socialism or in Capitalism is simply to obey God in giving as He leads you.
To many young people today, they haven't seen what Socialism produces or they can't seem to connect the dots. Many have never seen horrible results of Socialism at all, or from its Big brother Communism. Socialism to them seems to be more compassionate than greedy Capitalism. But think about it. Both Socialism and Capitalism can be greedy. We each choose.
- 3 million people were slaughtered under Vladimir Lenin.
- 60 million were slaughtered under Joseph Stalin.
- 40 million people were slaughtered in China under under Mao Zedong.
- 54 million babies have been killed in the USA. Selfish, lustful people and Planned Parenthood are largely to blame here along with their Socialist founder Margaret Higgins Sanger.
“The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.” ~ Margaret Thatcher
“Socialism is the philosophy of failure…” ~ Winston ChurchillThink about the truth of this. Remember when the Soviet Union completely crashed all at once? It really happened and we can learn from this. You can choose to be selfish, lazy, disobedient, then fail and you keep getting provided for.. a little bit.. but the whole system can fail and then nobody is provided for. Look at once oil rich Venezuela that is now in total chaos. It eventually just collapses like in North Korea where people are starving to death.
"How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin." ~ R. Reagan
People in America now tend to be so into Government freebies. Who wants to work for anything?
Learn from their bad example and opt not to be like them. Instead, do your work as unto the Lord.. for His glory. Know Him, serve Him, and be different.. protect people and be a blessing to them while here. President Trump said that America "will never be a Socialist country" during his Wisconsin rally. Man, I hope and pray that he is right. Together lets pray for a fifth great awakening. Let it start with us Lord. Send a biblical revival -- do it again please. Facebook.com/shareJesusNo exaggeration at all, but in Cuba today, pregnant women, diabetics, and the elderly are forced to stand in line for 4+ hours to get rancid meat for nourishment.
He knows he’ll get more rich and won’t win. Got huge financial gifts last time too, but this is what Bernie Sander’s ideas always lead to. Freedom is more than some mere pipe-dream. Stay off the smoke and pipe, Socialists.
