Democratic socialism
Democratic socialism is just socialism with some voting choice as to ruler. There may be a slower decline of liberty and the inevitable degeneration of the masses. Adding the word democratic to socialism is merely an act of vanity to disguise the covetous nature of that form of government. You cannot justify the desire to take from your neighbor to derive a personal gain nor claim to be seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
To claim or fain ignorance is a false hope for any form of socialism that relies upon force, whether the rulers are one or many, is covetous. And all should know that "covetousness is idolatry".[1]
The tables and temples of the pagan were dependent upon the exercising authority[2] of civil law the benefits and dainties served upon them are only the bait provided in what has always been a snare and a trap for those with an appetite to take a bite[3] out of others.
All democracies have always failed for the same reasons, the nurturing of the greed and wantonness of the masses for which the Kingdom of God was preached as the antitheses.
The events of our times are not unique in the history of mankind.
We are presently engaged in a war of truth and lies, good and evil, of light and darkness,[4] and of good and evil.[5]
If you think the issue of men in woman's sports is about the gender agenda of the left you are being played and are ignorant of the history and destruction of liberty throughout the past.
They want you think that more laws is a solution as if more laws and more government is your salvation. Yet, we should know from history:
"The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the government." Tacitus ,Book III, 27.
Desiring a collective law to protect an individual's right is a doorway to a strong delusion. Chains make poor armor.
"And now bills were passed, not only for national objects but for individual cases, and laws were most numerous when the commonwealth was most corrupt." Tacitus
More laws are more tools for the tyranny of the courts where black robed men decide what is 'good and evil' for the masses.
"When men [women] of talents are punished, authority is strengthened." Tacitus, Book IV, 35.
We are engaged in a war of truth and lies, of light and darkness, and of good and evil. There is no safety in making more laws in the halls of government.
Publius Tacitus saw that "A bad peace is even worse than war."
Never try to make peace by apologizing to the cancel culture mob.
"The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise."
There is only hope in repentance from the common thinking that has crept in unawares and returning to embrace the mind of Christ.
If you want to be on the winning side of this battle you need to know where the battle line is formed.
There is no safety in democracy when the mob has the heart of a tyrant.
The people "in their hearts turned back again into Egypt." Acts: 7. 39
The heart of Christ dwelling in the truly faithful does not desire benefits at the expense of their neighbor.
A true believer in the Gospel of the kingdom does not covet the wages of unrighteousness nor the daily bread of the rulers of men.

Polybius explained there is no safety in democratic socialism when, "The masses continue with an appetite for benefits and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of force..." which certainly began with public education provided by tax dollar which at one time was abhorrent to American voters.
The New Deal of FDR allowed the spirit of democratic socialism to grow in the people until they become "accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others..."
Now politicians pandering to the palpable greed and avarice of the people are "uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder, until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch."
The liberty in America rested not upon the power of government but upon the responcibility carried on the shoulders of every man and shared through voluntarism.
Benjamin Franklin and Tacitus knew that "The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise."
The hope of liberty among such people is repentance. They must think differntly from the socialist who crept in unawares, "ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness." http://preparingyou.com/wiki/Lasciviousness
If you want to be on the winning side of the battle between good and evil you need to know where the battle line is formed.
The Roman historian Tacitus also wrote of the Crucifixion of 'Christus' and his execution by Pontius Pilate in his Annals (written ca. AD 116, book 15, chapter 44.)
Tacitus's description of Christian practices, while negative from his point of view was very telling if you understood the view point of Romans at that time. Once you understand what Christians were doing in that first century you should be willing to see that their practice of religion does not match the modern Christian Church.
Tacitus wrote in his works, “The communities are wont, of their own accord and man by man, to bestow upon their princes a certain number of beasts, or a certain portion of grain; a contribution which passes indeed for a mark of reverence and honour, but serves also to supply their necessities.”[6]
The words "of their own accord" in the text is from the Latin "ultro" meaning 'voluntarily'. Christian provided all social welfare for the Christian communities through voluntarism or we would call charity alone and the perfect law of liberty. Rome had instituted a form of social welfare through public Religion which like the Corban of the Pharisees made the word of God to none effect.
Early Israel as a republic provided a system of welfare through their altars of clay and stone through a similar system of freewill offerings. John the Baptist and Jesus directed the people back to charity and Paul and Peter warned that covetous practices would bar some from inheriting the kingdom and even make them merchandise as well as curse children.
The world of Rome began as a republic but as the Roman people were ruined[7] by their appetite for benefits offered by men who exercise authority through the Imperial Cult of Rome until they degenerated into perfect savages as predicted by Polybius.
The stark difference between the covetous practices through the legal charity of the public religion of Rome and the charity and love of Christians living by faith, hope and charity was the Christian conflict with Rome.
Christ and the apostles were adamant that His followers should not engage in the 'covetous practices' of the 'world' at that time by looking to the governments of the world who "exercise authority one over the other" to provide benefits, at the expense of their neighbor through those covetous practices condemned by Christ.
Socialism is all about providing benefiting at the expense of others through the force of government. You cannot be a socialist, vote for socialist programs, desire benefits at the expense of others and honestly claim to be following Christ. Early Christians would not engage in those systems where force was used to provide social welfare.

- ↑ Covetousness is idolatry
- Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"
- Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."
- 1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
- For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.
- ↑ Not exercise authority
- Matthew 20:25 "But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you:..."
