The Kingdom Come

After several years of confronting THEOLOGICAL SOCIALISTS & their accomplices within my own sphere of Christianity, it is easy to spot socialism in general.  Socialism, be it political or theological has this twisted concept of "fairness"...  In the theological realm, socialists who often times may claim they are really "libertarians" will try to paint Jesus as a first-century "community organizer".  This depiction is categorically false.  Jesus' mission wasn't to help oppressed people throw off the yoke of "the man" -- rather Jesus was concerned that the individual was his own worse oppressor.  Humankind, starting with every individual must come to grips with our sinful nature & need for repentance.  As for the poor, Jesus says "you will have the poor with you always" (Matthew 26:12, Mk 14:7, John 12:8).

This brings us to the topic of Barack Obama's Christianity.  Obama's Christianity is akin to many of the "progressive" so-called Christian "leaders" of today.  Brian McClaren, Rob Bell, Jim Wallis & others.  It is a Socialistic Christianity that turns Jesus into a William Ayers of the first-century & revisions the Bible more as "Prairie Fire" manifesto.  But Jesus was NOT some radical looking to overthrow the government, after all Jesus took no opportunity to incite people to revolt against the Romans. 

This is the problem both in political & theological socialism -- the advocates for these agenda's think it is about issues...or at least they try to make people believe it is about issues.  Be it help for the poor, medical care, & any guilt-soothing issue.  It really is about ideology -- how we approach these & any other yet unnamed issues.  Someone who believes in the true liberty of man (especially the kind of freedom Jesus brings...which is an inner freedom primarily away from the bonds of our own sinful nature), will approach EVERY issue in a different manner than someone who thinks humanity is just fine but only needs to be released from conscience.

Obama's Christianity, like the general socialistic Christianity I have confronted over the years is nothing like the Christianity of the Bible.  Jesus was NOT calling Christians to "spread the wealth" of human depravity, but rather Christians are called to be kings & priests -- (Rev 1:6, Rev 5:10).  This does NOT mean we Christians are to be dictators but certainly that THROUGH CHRIST, we are to be focal points, leaders..pointing & leading to Christ...not just some mob on the street pelting points of oppression with figurative rocks.

But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. -- 1 Cor 2:15

If we Christians really are to be ruling over the earth with Christ & judging all things, then why instead do we often try to employ the atheistic socialism into that rule.  We want to see powerful people -- not in their own power but in the power of Christ.  Christians aren't supposed to be some victim-class helping out other victims into some group-counseling session named "Christianity" -- rather we are to be MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST! (Rom 8:37)

Let us stop acting like sniveling, conniving little atheistic socialists with guilty consciences who feel that to be a "good Christian" our life goal is to help out the poor or some other socialistic agenda.

Mark 8:36
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

While frauds like Obama & the theological socialists dupe people into believing they can "gain the world" if only they follow them, let us Christians be about spreading the REAL wealth...not money taken from one & given to another, but the shed blood of Christ Jesus taken & by grace given to any who would believe.
