FACT: Liberals are deluded, and insist the rest of us join in their delusions.
Then world be healed.
So He would approve of gaymosexual behavior? Abortion for profit? He associated with many sinners but He did not condone the sins. Every knee shall bow....
Exactly!
Have they consulted Jesus about this?
The main problem here in this world is there's never been enough unselfish widespread LOVE to see it through.
Capitalism, coupled with enough conservative, constitutional conservatism along with charity (also a form of love) has done more to elevate mankind than anything else in all the world's history!!!
Of course not! They don’t even believe He really existed. It’s all BS rhetoric :-/
They are the kind that call 'dial a prayer' and then hang-up and feel superior!
Those who thik they are “Socialist Liberals’ are in fact RW fascists.
Since Plato’s “Republic” predates Christ, if Christ wanted Communism, he would have mentioned it.
20. And he (Jesus) saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21. They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
Leftists only render unto Caesar ( holy govt) but they shut God out and dont render anything unto Him.
We can know God through his works. God created nature to work in a certain way. I take it as a clue. Many seek a nature where the lion lays down with the lamb. That’s not really how nature works. The plants, the animals, all designed to operate in a balanced ecosystem. To me that is a clue. Doesn’t natures system seem to resemble capitalism more than collectivism?
If Jesus was a socialist, He would not have taught us to help the poor. He would have petitioned the Romans to do it.
They rejected God and then they created a god in their own image.

Excellent point.
As a result I have less of a problem with religious organizations or members of the clergy,for example,getting credit for charitable work than seeing a politician or a political party getting credit.
The early church shared their goods and resources with those in need. It was not the government via taxations. Unbelievers were not forced to give unlike by modern government extortion of taxes to redistribute wealth. This is where the leftists totally miss the mark about Jesus teachings.
Oh yeh— Jesus was a carpenter from a small business. In other words you socialists— he worked for a living.
Heh.
Errrr! Monarchy!
1) When one studies the Bible as a whole - focusing in foundational principles rather than on verses take out of context - it is much more supportive of an economic system respecting private property and the work ethic (see especially Is.65:21-2 and Jer. 32:43-44).For example, Ps.112 describes a gracious, compassionate, righteous man. We are told that "wealth and riches are in his house" (verse 3) and that he is generous, conducting "his affairs with justice" (verse 5). We are further told, "He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor" (verse 9). Paul quotes this verse in 2 Cor. 9:9 in his message about giving, clearly indicating that personal wealth should not be condemned but seen as a blessing that allows for generosity.
2) Also private ownership and stewardship of property is assumed to be the proper state of affairs throughout the Bible (Deu. 8; Ruth 2: Is 65:21-22; Jer. 32:42-44; Mic. 4:1-4; Luke 12:13-15; Acts 5:1-4; Eph. 4:28;
