Jesus,beck could make Jesus sound like a socialist......oh that`s right....Jesus WAS a socialist... socialism - a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. I think Jesus was more about charity than socialism, but I'm glad to see you're trying to protect us from that. Nice hat, by the way. K. "And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need." Acts 2:32-35 The Apostle James also struck a couple dead who didn't sell all their possessions and give everything to be distributed equally among the early Christian socialist collective Church. Government Distribution <> Charity Huge Difference. Read it again, the early church functioned as a commune where all property was held as a community. That's not just socialism that is straight up communism. Function and Method are different, too. A 1960's "hippy" commune was quite a bit different from the Communism of the USSR, no? One was chosen, while the other was forced. And, therein lies the difference between charity and government redistribution.
