Breitbart ^ | 12/02/2019 | Hannah Bleau

Posted on 12/02/2019 10:50:50 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) spoke at church service in Columbia, South Carolina, over the weekend and attempted to use scripture to push his progressive agenda.

Sanders spoke at Reid Chapel AME and sought to link his campaign and the scriptures by focusing primarily on the need for “justice.”

What did Jesus say again? Was it: “Render to Caesar what is God’s?”

Sanders reminds me of the disheveled frazzled haired old socialists who look like they escaped from the Bellevue psycho ward who would lurk around Times Sq, Greenwich Village and the subways incoherently spewing commie rhetoric. Unfortunately so many millenials, and older people who should know better believe this crap.

Moore My lords, my ladies, on your feet, please. (he is ignored and therefore says commandingly) I must ask you to do exactly as I say or I shall be forced to shoot you right between the eyes. (they stand up hurriedly) Well not right between the eyes, I mean when I say between the eyes, obviously I don’t have to be that accurate, I mean, if I hit you in that sort of area, like that, obviously, that’s all right for me, I mean, I don’t have to try and sort of hit a point bisecting a line drawn between your pupils or anything like that. I mean, from my point of view, it’s perfectly satisfactory...

First Lady What do you want? Why are you here?

Moore Why are any of us here? I mean, when you get down to it, it’s all so meaningless, isn’t it? I mean what do any of us want...

Buckingham No, no, what do you want now?

Moore Oh I see, oh just the usual things, a little place of my own, the right girl...

Grantley No, no, no! What do you want from us?

Moore Oh sorry. Your gold, your silver, your jewellery.

Buckingham You’ve taken it all.

First Lady This is all we’ve got left.

Moore That’s nice. I’ll have them. Come on. (he takes all the spoons)

Buckingham You’d better take the bloody lupin too.

Moore Thank you very much, I’ve gone through that stage.

Snort...I haven't seen that in probably 35 years, but the tune runs through my head now and again...:)

Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, galloping through the sward,
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, and his horse Concorde.
He steals from the rich and gives to the poor,
Mr Moore, Mr Moore, Mr Moore...etcetera!

Heh, I'll have to watch it again sometime!

justice refers to resolving disputes between people in a society

communist dictatorship refers to Bernie

The argument seems to be the same old Leftist lie of “Christianity is Marxism”. They claim if you don’t vote for the clowns who want to tax you to “take care of others” you are “not a Christian”.

Total nonsense. The duty to take care of the widow the orphan and the strange is a PERSONAL duty of the Christian. It is not one, as the Left has lying tried to claim for decades, one you can vote for the Government to take over for you.

“Justice says that black women should not die in childbirth at three times the rate as white women.”

Isn’t that what is known as an “act of God”? So he’s saying God is unjust?

That goes to show you that the guy is an atheist when he doesn’t even know something as simple as that

Scripture?

He ought to stick with what he knows.

Writing rape fantasies.

He also said that His kingdom is not of this world.

Bolshevik Bernie wouldn’t know Scriptures if they fell off a shelf and hit him in the head.

Have to disagree with the “also” part. The answer to the question I asked is: no.

Funny how godless commies will use the bible when they think it works for them.

Sorry, I read it too fast.

Sometimes familiarity can work against you.

Acts gives an account of early Christian experiments in socialism. They didn’t last long, either.

I’m unsure why/how you are making a connection of the Islamic theocracy of government via the Koran to the first Christians. I was not making or implying of that. The first Christians were expecting Jesus to return shortly, thus they (some) sold their goods, etc.

Also the argument that first Christians were socialists is ill founded, for the reasons you stated.

The apostle Paul speaks of him earning his own way by making tents as he spread the gospel.

That was the first church still in Jerusalem, and yes many were in hiding but not all. They were being hunted and needed help, the other churches outside of Jerusalem were being asked to help what they could, but the other churches outside were not “they held everything in common”. And within a few years time Jerusalem (and that first church) were no more. (70 AD)
