Applying God's Word to Politics

[GWH]

There is a sect of religious people in my area who have created their own communal society which appeared to work well for them for many years, until someone in the commune started taking advantage of people to the point of getting arrested. The problem is that giving one or a handful of individuals too much control over anything never goes well.

Yes, there have been numerous Christian communities in the USA, but none of them worked for very long.
The last one I tracked was Koinonia Farm in Georgia, founded by Southern Baptist minister Clarence Jordan,
which was intentionally interracial. Jordan produced the Cotton Patch Version of the New Testament,
recasting the biblical narrative into the language and social landscape of the mid-20th-century American South.

Yes, the bottom line is, humans err and someone in the system is bound to be corrupted, which is why we all look to God/Jesus as our Savior and we can't rely on man (saved or unsaved) to lead us into a perfect society because there is no such thing here on earth.

Yes, but there ARE imperfect societies on earth, and Communist systems are the worst,
which is why it is amazing and appalling that it appeals to Americans corrupted by Marxist professors!
Some folks really are gullible--which is why Trump banned Marxist media from the White House.

Correct, there are no perfect societies on earth. The only people who support Communism are the already desperate who wants someone to take care of them because they are incapable of taking care of themselves or the naive who think that it will lead to a compassionate way of life, when it NEVER does.

Yes, and those who think they can subjugate such folks, beginning with Marxist professors as I have shared previously,
which is why the temporal solution must include ridding our educational system of those rats.

You obviously are ignorant about the MAGA movement; Charlie Kirk's witness for Christ was/is better than any Dem you can name.
MAGA opposes giving up the Constitution and freedom you are apathetic about, so don't blame them when it happens--only yourself.

And still both donkeys and elephants are owned by satan

Your so called maga movement is choked full of tares. Fake brethren who follow reformed theology or are following in the ditch charismatic error as they seek to take over the world for Jesus which is not what the Lord said Christians are to do since the Lord's Kingdom is not of this world.

The joke is on those who think donkeys and elephants are doing anything other than making the world worse. Mankind has lost control of managing this world as it's being turned over to satan as we speak who is being allowed to bring forth his one world government and it's ant-christ and both donkeys and elephants will gladly bow the knee to the anti-christ when he is revealed to the world.

The false teachers began their treachery while Yeshua was yet here. This is my understanding.
They began doing the works of the Nic olations big time, at Antioch.

Yes and today these people are known as catholics and reformed

While communism doesn't align with the principles of the LORD's word in the Torah, but then again Jesus didn't come to call the righteous to repentance but rather those who know that no lie is of the truth.

Common ownership: Major resources like factories, mines, and land belong to the public rather than private individuals.

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. Acts 4:32​

Classless Society: Social hierarchies and economic classes are removed with propaganda .

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:28​

And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Acts 4:33​

Distribution by Need: Goods and wealth are shared based on from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs".

Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, Acts 4:34​

And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. Acts 4:35​

Statless Ideal: In theory, money, private property, and the state eventually cease to exist.

And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan.​

Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. Deut 4:39

You make excellent points which is why communism is properly a distortion of Christianity. Both promote the same ideal situation, but communism claims that it can be achieved without God and Christianity recognizes that sin exists in the world and will corrupt any human endeavor and thus requires God's intervention to allow perfection, as both recognize as the ideal situation, to come about. The official atheism of communism is its fatal flaw.

The official atheism of communism is its fatal flaw.

But, even when Jesus returns and starts His 1000 Year reign people will still own things and not everything will be property of the state as the godless communists desire.

Each person will be responsible for not only being obedient to the Lord but also will be responsible to use their assets in ways that are pleasing to the Lord.

Until the Lord Jesus is King of this world, things always go evil. Hebrews 2:8 tells us He is not in control of this world as of yet.
