I agree, the problem is our government does not.

If only I was free to choose my government like I was free to choose Jesus.

I doubt Marx was interested in setting up a Theocracy.

If he was, it wasn't for the God of the Bible.

And it is important to note, that the only "socialist" system to ever be recorded to have worked was one of Christians, full of the Holy Spirit, in Free Association.

What is described in the Bible is NOT socialism but charity. The communal living was voluntary, not system where possessions were taxed or seized by the government. Agencies such as Lutheran Social Services, Catholic Charities, Texas Baptist Foundation and others distribute money, food, services and possessions to the needy. None of these are governments and none of them have taxing authority. These organizations distribute what was freely given. The whole Jesus was a Democrat or Jesus was a socialist crap is silly. Read in full context, you cannot determine the political leanings of Jesus.

Please leave Carl Marx out of it.

Seems to me your argument is with Jesus, so I suggest you tell him to go first. I just posted a quote, if you dont like so be it.

When Jesus returns, it won't be to represent any political party. When he returns, it will be a theocracy.

I wasnt asking his opinion of my life, nor you either. Mind your own business. Second I believe it was Jesus who preached this, my name is nowhere associated with it.

"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life."

-1 Timothy 6:17-19

Your name is boldly right above it. You copied it and pasted it to a messgae board. You broughy it and the assumption on yourself.

But, you're right. Its my fault. Couldnt be your fault.
