Socialism and Faith in God do not mix.

This is because in order for socialism to have ANY chance at success, the populace must be willing to place an unprecedented amount of FAITH in the state... or dependence.
Such a level of faith in government has absolutely no room for other forms of dependence, especially in a very powerful organization such as the church. It is therefore not surprising that over the last 30 years, the socialist movement has sought to undermine the church by discrediting God and those who believe in Him. For the last 30 years, our government has systematically and progressively placed itself into a competitive role with the church as opposed to a supportive one.

When those in power are men of faith, they understand the inherent evils of big government. This is why the constitution was so restrictive on such powers. They also understood the important role that the church plays in society... to encourage individual dependence upon God whom the founders recognized as the One from whom our freedom is derived.

Unfortunately for us, and for freedom, we have rejected God as sovereign over our nation, and we therefore reject our freedom in favor of a governmental system which has failed to prove it’s ability to “provide” for the people each and every time it has ever been tried.

As a result, we no longer have men of faith in positions of power who understand what it takes to maintain our freedom. They only understand their own power... and the importance of a dependent people to maintain it.

Socialism and Faith in God do not mix.

Capitalism and Faith in God do not mix.

Democracy's and Faith in God do not mix. Representative Republics and Faith in God do not mix.

Communism and Faith in God do not mix.

Human Monarchy's and Dictatorships do not mix with Faith in God.

The Faithful can survive and thrive under ANY form of government.

The Faithful already have a government better than any earthly government. We belong under the authority of a Godly King, a Heavenly Monarch, a Perfect Benevolent Dictator.

We are not of this world. Therefor, whatever form of earthly government our King has put over us in the meantime, we must be thankful since all forms of government keep some sense of "law and order", and are used to bless or rebuke the people into obedience.

I do find it interesting that under the harshest governments, the persecuted Christians can be the most faithful of us all.

Let us all get ready to grow, or be revealed for the fakes we very well may be.
