Here is a quote that really speaks to today. Benjamin Franklin wrote in
1787: "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.
As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."
My observation is that
socialist societies are all about corrupting the people so that they will
need masters,
and that is happening in America at an alarming rate.
“We
cannot expect the American people to jump from Capitalism to
Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving
them small doses of Socialism until they wake up one day to
find they have Communism.” —Nikita Khrushchev
Socialism is the social, economic, political, and spiritual system of
Secular Humanism, and it was founded in the Garden of Eden. The
founder, Satan, wrote their constitution when he said, For God doth know
that in the day ye eat thereof (of the forbidden fruit), then you eyes
shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." (Rev.
3:5)
Secular Humanists believe they are their own god's, and they have decided
for themselves what is good and what is evil. As the Bible says,
they call good evil and evil good.
In America these Socialists are the Liberals and the Far Left. On a scale
of 5 to 10 (Liberals are an automatic 1 to 4 minimum) all Liberals are
somewhat Socialistic to outright Socialist.
In short, Liberals are Socialists, and Socialists are Secular Humanists,
and Secular Humanism is an antichrist system. Socialists are always
for big government and higher taxes, and they are pro abortion, and pro
euthanasia.
Look at the majority of the European nations.
In
France the Liberals are outlawing Evangelical Christianity but leaving Islam
alone. Why? Because (in the simplest of terms) Evangelical Christians
are opposed to Socialism (big government, high taxes, diminished liberty
and free will agency) and Moslems are not, and France’s
Socialist revolution of 1789-1799 continues in France and most of Europe
today. It is all about political power and corruption (the lust of the
flesh, the love of money, and the power it brings).
Taken one step further, Socialism is by nature Anti-Christ and
Anti-American. Therefore, we Christians must teach the truth about the
enemy of the faith, and counter their lies.
Liberals will often sling mud at Conservatives and Evangelical Christians,
comparing us to Hitler and the Nazi party. Yet, the truth is,
Hitler and Mussolini and Stalin were all Socialists. Just as the French
Revolution was a Socialist Revolution, so was the Russian Revolution.
The word Nazi is an acronym for "National Socialist Party," and Fascist
is an acronym for "Federal Socialist Party," and the USSR stood
for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics." Talk about being mean spirited, it is the very
nature of Socialist states to oppress the masses.
Carl Marx is one of the prominent fathers of Socialism (Communism is a
militant form of Socialism). He taught that anything that furthered
the cause of world Socialism was moral and ethical, and anything that
thwarted Socialism was immoral and unethical. This explains why
ultra Liberals often have no problem with deception, murder (Euthanasia,
abortion and worse) and forming conspiracies.
You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere
it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.
We must vote against this enemy, and we must pray for our enemy.
As I see it,
EVERY problem is a spiritual one, and the solution to EVERY problem is a
spiritual one.
So this is a spiritual war, and our weapons are spiritual.
This war is not just a difference in political, social, or economic ideologies or opinions;
this is a war between Satan and
his hosts, and the Church of Jesus Christ.
And the victory is in Christ’s Church.
There is not a third or neutral option. If you do not choose Christ
and the Bible, by default you have chosen Satan and eternal damnation.
That is tough evangelism, but spoken in love non-the-less. So, what
you do, do with all your heart and being.
