The antichrist, devils wanted a Communist revolution by violence in the streets, but Richard Nixon stopped in the '70's. They switched tactics, deceived multitudes of credulous Christians, and have now WON by the ballot. WE ARE A MARXIST CONQUERED NATION! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why the Christians in the book of Acts were socialists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. 33With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. 34There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need. Looks like Socialism to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how willingly it was done when the penalty for refusal to do so was death. 32All the believers were one in heart and mind.

Looks like Socialism to me. That is not Socialism. It's pretty close. My point is, the Christians as portrayed in Acts were much closer to Socialism than they were to Capitalism, which so many Christians in America seem to hold in such high regard.

Do you disagree that if Jesus and the Early Christians had to (hypothetically) choose between Socialism and Capitalism they would likely choose Socialism?
