Our Lord did not advocate the ownership of the means of production by the State; therefore, He was not a Socialist.

Christians should petition their government to enforce "redistributive justice"...

Forcing ones morality at the point of the government's gun doesn't make one a socialist, it makes one a fascist.

Once the Left adopts a talking point they never let go. The idea that Jesus called on His followers to confiscate the bread of their neighbors through threat of violence, and give it to others, is anti-Christian. Jesus called on His followers to give away what they had, a principle which, as we know, is seldom honored by the jackals of the left.

Jesus was a capitalist.

Parable of three talents: master gives three men one talent; one buries it, another returns it, the third multiplies it.

other scripture: take care of women and children.

give up your riches and follow me.

bottom line: no where did the ego of State and Gov’t as sole provider ever ever ever replace God.

Communism was a perfect example: the state said we are bigger than god because we can provide for your needs, He can’t.

Socialism is one step towards that...
