== Was Jesus a socialist ==

Christ came to preach against [[socialism]]. 

[[Socialism]] was one of the major reasons He took the kingdom from the [[Pharisees]] and [[appoint]]ed it to the [[Apostles]] with the instructions not to be like the other governments of the [[world]] who called themselves [[Benefactors]] but exercised authority one over the other. The [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] which made the word of God to none effect was a [[socialist]] scheme started by [[Herod]] the Great in Judea. [[Herod]]'s temples, like the [[Temples]] of Rome, operated a social [[Welfare|welfare]] system of [[Bread and circuses|free bread]] through taxation.

The same scheme was promoted by Augustus in [[Rome]], years before, and by FDR in the United States. I am amazed at the number of so called Christian pastors who do not know or understand that Jesus said His followers were not to go that [[Socialist|socialist]] way.

[[Christians]] were actually put to death because they would not sign up for the socialist [[Welfare|welfare]] programs of [[Rome]] and their free [[Bread and circuses]]. The [[socialist]] schemes of the [[Imperial Cult of Rome|Roman government]] were at the heart of the [[Christian conflict]]. 

Almost all the social ills and economic problems today can be linked back to socialist practices and schemes where people desire [[benefits]] at the expense of their neighbor. This is all because we have chosen to go the socialist way of central treasuries, forced offerings, central powers to redistribute that which was collected by an [[exercises authority|exercising authority]]. Other schemes like the [[Golden calf]] which was  central bank and having [[One purse]] to secure benefits through [[covet]]ousness. It is the way of [[Balaam]] and the [[Nicolaitan]], which God hates.

Neil Sroka (Democracy for America Communications) joins John to argue the need for more socialism, while economist Ivan Pongracic (Hillsdale College) explains why such a path is folly. One argument against [[Was Jesus a socialist|Jesus being a socialist]] from [[Luke 12]]:13 ''"And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?  And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of [[covet]]ousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth."'' Time 11:17}}

Christ told us to go another [[The Way‎‎ |way]] if we were to follow Him. [[John the Baptist]] had done the same with his system of charity. The water [[Baptism]] was a way of marking the point where you were going to stop the [[Covetous Practices]] of men like [[Herod]] and their [[Corban]].

[[Christians]] should not be a part of such programs rooted in [[Wantonness|covetousness]]. You cannot oppose what Christ said and at the same time be a follower of Christ.

Many of the people who think they are Christians, but are only [[Modern Christians]], are actually [[workers of iniquity]]. They are worried about the [[Mark of the Beast]] and the number of the Beast [[Section_666|666]]. Modern Christians are often worried about National ID today. They have national ID. Their state IDs are linked nationally and you cannot get a state ID, Drivers license, business license, or marriage license without a Social Security Number by [[Section_666|law]]. You cannot get a job in the civil sector, a bank account, or license of any kind without the [[Mark of the Beast]]. Most all nations have linked their own SSN-type number by international treaty. 

[[Modern Christians]] through [[Covetous Practices]] have made themselves [[Merchandise]] and [[Curse children|cursed their Children]] with endless debt and servitude to the very systems and its [[Benefactors]] to whom they have applied for benefits. They have no idea of what they have already done. If they have ears to hear, the time to repent is now.

Many practice a [[False religion]] to make them feel comfortable about their [[Public religion]], either because no one has told them what [[Pure Religion]] really means or because they refuse to [[Repent]]. 

We need to begin to attend to what Christ called the [[Weightier matters]].

: [[Luke 22]]:25 "And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called [[Benefactors|benefactors]]. But ye shall not be so:"
