The thing is that we have different moral codes, and some have worse moral codes, and some have better moral codes.
Like most people understand that not the paper or plastic is important but what we belive about that bacnote makes it powerful and useful
It's not enough to believe in morals--the biggest focus and purpose of Christianity is to point to what God did so our sins can be atoned for, that they will not stand against us on Judgment Day. It is about life after death, where will we go when we die. Morals are good, but your physical life can end at any moment, and where will morals get you then?
To hell
Exactly! It is about the eternal life, about us living forever in Heaven, the place God really wants us to live.
Life is brief compared to after death
You can be a good person but you'll still Go to hell after death you won't go to heaven if you don't believe
The physical world is wicked, sinful, terrible. And I think that socialism is not incompatible with Christianity, like Marx would put it as. Or Lenin. Or Stalin.
I dont care if I stop existing or go to hell
You don't want to go to hell
Then that’s your problem. I personally want to achieve Heaven.
Hell is a horrible place
Well, good in our limited perspective, as I'm sure you know. The Bible says there is none good, no not one--that's God's perspective. We all have an aptitude for sin, thus no human is truly good.
Hell is a place full of pain, suffering, vice, terror and horror.
Yes
@LuckyPuffy I would argue true communism is compatible, but the perfect captilist system needed as a preamble is still hundreds of years away from now, any earlier attempt will only end in death.
Did you ever heard about anarcho-chrestinism? The belive that all hierarchies are against god and that the rich are against god and that the only one that should rule is god , that is preaty based
I don't think communism is compatible
There is no possible way you can achieve Heaven. The Bible clearly shows you cannot earn your way there--if you did you would brag and boast how you got yourself there.
Yes, the rich are against God, materialism and consumerism are against God’s teaching.
There's only one way to Heaven--the Lord Jesus Christ. No boasting then when He saves you. All the praise would go to Him.
Not all the rich Job was for God
The rich, as you can observe, promote a lifestyle full of drugs, sex, and other vices.
Not all
The rich are considered more like God than God himself.
That’s true.
"It is harder for a rich man to get into heaven then it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle" - Jesus. I personally belive that one should be able to enjoy their wealth up to a point, monatary value is often the fruit of hard labor, so I get people wanting to keep the wealth they have, however, there is an amount of wealth greater than any man needs.
Remember Job had a lot of things and servants and he was a firm believer in God
and i think that should be given in alms, or to the state for the benift of fellow men
Job? As in...
Job from the book of Job
Hmmm... I don’t know about that
Well the main point of anarcho-christianity is that since we got the infrastructure to teach everyone how to read priests are unnecessary and direct connection with god is necessary, and that the rich put themselves before God
This is why the MSM and the elite are liberal
And that their "belive in God " is just a lie to pretend they are a part of christians for money
Because they are individualistic, selfish.
I am individualistic and selfish but I still hate the rich lol
I have enough good sense to not search for glory as it isn't the best thing in the world
ok, but socialised medicine, which taxes the wealthy and gives to all, as well as making a better finacial enviorment for all is bad?
Yes
