Jack Graham going off on Harris
he needs to STFU. As a recovering Baptist, Precher men need to do the Lords work and the hell out of politics
When you have people who hate God and want to destroy His people and His Word.... then it IS the Lord's work to get involved in politics.
It used to make sense for a preacher to not get involved, when everyone who was running for office was a Christian who just had disagreements on the best ways to do the Lord's work in office.
Now you have demonic people who want to kill babies, castrate and mutilate children, promote trans insanity, destroy Christianity, promote Islam.... so no.. it is truly EVIL for a Christian to STFU in these days.
The devil would love nothing more than for good Christian people to shut up and do nothing.
Is socialism/communism contrary to the word of God?
Socialism/Communism is contrary to the Word of God, because it is based entirely upon human leadership trying to replace God.
This is why Marx and all the rest of the founders of modern Socialism were God-hating atheists. This is why they used to say things like "religion is the opiate of the masses".
God does not FORCE people to give to the poor or take care of the widows... he tells us to do so, according to His Word and His plan. People who obey and follow the Word of God are credited as righteous for their faith & obedience. Having a government force people to be "charitable" or go to jail... that is NOT following the plan or the Word of God.
To be a godly person and a follower of Christ requires that you have the option to be ungodly and choose to not follow Christ.
Forced "charity" is not godly in any way... and it always... ALWAYS leads to a dictatorial type of government. Every communist nation has resulted in oppressive authoritarian hell... every time.
There is nothing compassionate or charitable about stealing peoples money and giving some of it to someone else. Even the fictional Robin Hood stories are ultimately about a thief. However, in some of the versions I've seen (even on film), it was a corrupt & incompetent government stealing from the poor & Robin Hood was stealing from them and then returning the money to its rightful owners. That is something different but that's not what is happening now.
What must you do to inherit eternal Life? J Give away all your possessions.
J "Z, I am coming to your house today." Z - "I'll pay back all I stole." J "Surely salvation has come to this house"
J "You are like man who stored up all he had and built more barns then God took him away. Store up treasure in heaven."
J "It is easier for a camel to go throw the eye of neddle and a rich man go to heaven."
Historian, your riches are not of your doing but they are a gift from God.
Mary Luke 1He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
