The most insightful critics of Marxism said that socialism’s greatest failure comes not from economics but anthropology and theology. Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., put that reality on display on Easter Sunday, when he tweeted that collective social action “is more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”
On the holiest holiday on the liturgical calendar, Warnock wrote:
The meaning of Easter is more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whether you are Christian or not, through a commitment to helping others we are able to save ourselves.
Warnock had previously asserted from the pulpit that “the early church was a socialist church” and that embracing state intervention into the economy “actually makes you a Christian.”
Warnock’s latest tweet caused such backlash that he scrubbed it from his social media – but not before numerous commentators accused the democratic socialist of “heresy.” Others rushed to his defense.
MSNBC host Joy Reid tweeted in pique: “This lady is literally calling the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church — The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s church – a heretic.” That kind of argument from authority only convinces those who hold the doctrine of Ebenezerian Infallibility – the novel notion that God will supernaturally preserve anyone associated with any church that once employed Martin Luther King Jr. from falling into heresy – of which Reid is the first known exponent.
For those conversant with the Bible, heresy seems an apt description of Warnock’s couplet.

That tweet is under nonsense
Crppy pastor.
Union Theological Seminary graduate.
“..able to save ourselves”. If he doesn’t repent, he’s going to find out the hard way how wrong he is.
Blasphemy!
Another name to add to the list of false messiahs.
So, we didn’t really need a savior after all? This is the garbage that socialists espouse?
or just dang stupid.
Those without God replace him with ourselves.
As if anything we could ever do in superior or replaces the Crucifixion and Resurrection.
“I served at the soup line...I am God” - Pfft.
Reverend? 🤮
HE ONLY BELIEVES in HELPING himself to OTHERS wallets.
Indeed we don’t save ourselves through works.
The church members of the early church gave as they desred to give. That’s not socialist taxing. That is Christian giving. How does this false prophet fleece his flock and the taxpayers at the same time?
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. ~ Jeremiah 23:1
Warnock is playing with fire.
God will not be mocked.
Socialism is the opiate of arrogant functionaries, imperious bureaucrats, pompous politicians and cheeky lowbrow preachers.
Good job a-hole never Trump GOP and gutless voters. I also think that the new voting law will have little impact to the fraud I actually saw on election night from within during stop and steal and antics of that fat cow POS who will probably be the next governor.
Gee! thanks genius
No why don’t you go back to your favorite hobby -killing babies
