“ Socialism: Anti-Liberty ” The objective of socialism and its many variants like Communism are the same objective. The abolition of liberty. If socialism is to succeed, then liberty must be done away with. We have already witnessed the fall of liberty and the rise of socialism when the United Nations was founded on 24 October, 1945, which made worldwide socialism not just possible, but inevitable. All of this shows that to socialists, the ends justify the means. Such means for achieving socialism on a worldwide level include a centralized one world government.

“ Great Teaching! ” Bro. Sean, thank you for letting me sit in your class via SermonAudio. Your illustrations were understandable. I now know what earned income tax credit is about, the tax breakdown, etc., how rewarding folks for not working, like subsidizing farmers, is not biblical; it "produces" laziness.

“ Great Sermon! ” (Part 2) We see elsewhere when people hung around Jesus for long periods and had ran out of food or money. A lot of this was emergency relief and crisis management. This is why we read that they were in "need." Often it is wrongly called Communism and Socialism by pretext, but there action would have made sense in their Collectivist culture.

“ Feedback ” Upton Sinclair, an author who ran for Congress on the Socialist ticket twice and for the governor in California as a Democrat in 1934 once wrote,
"The American People will take Socialism, but they won't take the label." This could explain, in part, why he gained more votes with a 'D' to the right of his name.
The Church may have raised the bar on hand outs, but because we failed to keep up the good work, the State stepped up. It is Christianity's negligence that led to the Government controlling our purse strings, and poorly at that.
Two things about Acts. We should remove any doubt about whether or not anyone died for stealing from the Holy Ghost by not just pointing out that Peter called them on their lie. While we can buttress stealing from God in the Bible, we can see that it does not says that anyone was stealing from the Holy Ghost in this passage. If Peter said it was lying to the Holy Ghost, we can see plenty of reason for him to affirm that there were theifs too. The other thing to know is that all Scripture has one interpretation and one context. We have to consider this was during the time frame of a major Jewish Holy day. People were not locals and hung around long after because of the Good News. (Continued)

“ Great Sermon! ” This was awesome. So informative. The redistribution of wealth demonstration really helped the concept sink in. I wish somebody could have explained it to me that well years ago. I knew I didnt agree with socialism and I thought I had a pretty good idea what was wrong and unbiblocal about it but my understanding was not nearly as clear as it is now. In your demonstration where you showed what happened to those whosaved their money, I had a thought. The concept of stimulating the economy by wanting people to spend money, what would the response be to someone who argues that if everyone saved, it would hinder businesses and therefore people SHOULD be encouraged to spend money. I know inflated money circulating in the economy does not help. But if you are able to elaborate on that it would be really helpful because I hear so many people arguing that the problem is that people are afraid to spend. Thanks!
