had this discussion with a lefty a few years ago. The leftist couldn’t point to scripture which says the govt can bring utopia on earth. Then they go back to the old testement after they fail with proving the new testement is socialist. Then one points to the holes in that notion. Next the Leftists just say become a Leftist one can’t be a Christian and a Conservative...
“I think Jesus was a socialist,” he said”
Excuse me, but Jesus led people to God to be their sufficiency, not Rome.
Our Lord said His kingdom was not of this world.
.... Ya .... and he probably believes Adolph Hitler was the second coming of the Messiah too ... Right?.
I don’t remember Christ either demanding the Roman government be charitable, or demanding that private persons be charitable. I believe he preached the gospel of volunteering to be charitable. To give from love.
Nothing could be further from socialism, which is 100% dependent on extorting money from some to grant undeserved to others.
Maybe Bernie should familiarize himself with how those closest to Jesus thought - perhaps he can start with “He who will not work, should not eat”.....
