To add, Jesus did not preach against rich people. Jesus countered the commonly held beliefs held in that day that rich people were rich because they were blessed by God because of how good they were.
Luke 12:15 -21 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’“Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
Matthw 6:19 - 24 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy,your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Jesus said, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God” That's Matthew 19:24, Mark 10:25, and Luke 18:25
There is no socialism in christianity because our God is Christ Jesus, not the government.
True, true, thank and praise God. I'm ready for a world without politics. Come rule Christ Jesus, now if You don't mind. We're ready.
But what do you think that rule under Him will look like? When I study it I get pictures of nobody hungry, everyone healthy, no one in poverty - am I wrong in that? You're right, liberalism as a political strategy is as vapid as Republicanism. But as a way of life, liberalism more embodies how Christ lived. Kinda makes me laugh. Liberals godlessly embody the principles, while conservatives talk god but turn their backs on them. That's why I won't vote for either. Leadership on both side has gotten far too polarized.
And again, mea culpa to those good generous liberals and conservatives who break the mold and do give as Christ taught us to. I don't mean to paint you all with the same brush, you're just unfortunately in a very small minority these days.
If that is not satanic I do not know what is.
And be careful when you deem things satanic. I want people to have discernment, but being wrong is oh so dangerous.
