“Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And he charged each of the 5000 $9.95 thus making a sweet profit off those he fed”
Acts 4:34-37
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, / until some greed showed up
Winston Churchill said, “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
Churchill is right! But we STILL have gray-haired liberal professors on just about every college campus in America telling us that socialism is the best thing on earth.
1. Socialism and Communism are the same ideology. Communism is but an extreme form of socialism. From the ideological standpoint, there is no substantial difference between the two. In fact, the communist Soviet Union (USSR) called itself the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1922-1991) and communist China, Cuba, and Vietnam define themselves as socialist nations. Vladimir Lenin even said, “The goal of socialism is communism.”
2. Socialism violates personal freedom. Socialism seeks to eliminate “injustice” by transferring rights and responsibilities from individuals and families to the State. In the process, socialism actually creates injustice. It destroys true liberty, the freedom to decide all matters that lie within our own competence and to follow the course shown by our reason, within the laws of morality, including the dictates of justice and charity.
3. Socialism violates human nature. Socialism is anti-natural. It destroys personal initiative-a fruit of our intellect and free will-and replaces it with State control. It tends to favor totalitarianism, with its government and police repression, wherever it is implemented.
4. Socialism violates private property. Socialism calls for “redistributing the wealth” by taking from the rich to give to the poor. It imposes taxes that punish those who have been able to take greater advantage of their productive talents, capacity to work or thrift. It uses taxation to promote economic and social egalitarianism, a goal that will be fully achieved, according to The Communist Manifesto, with the “abolition of private property.”
5. Socialism opposes traditional marriage. Socialism sees no moral reason for people to restrict sex to marriage, that is, to an indissoluble union between a man and a woman. Furthermore, socialism undermines private property, which Friedrich Engels, founder of modern socialism and communism along with Karl Marx, saw as the foundation of traditional marriage.
6. Socialism opposes parental rights in education. Socialism has the State, and not parents, control the education of children. Almost from birth, children are to be handed over to public institutions, where they will be taught what the State wants, regardless of parental views. For example, explicit sex-ed is promoted everywhere. Evolution MUST be taught as Dogma. School prayer MUST be completely forbidden.
7. Socialism promotes radical equality. A supposed absolute equality among men is the fundamental assumption of socialism. Therefore, it sees any inequality as unjust in itself. Private employers are quickly portrayed as “exploiters” whose profits really belong to their employees. As a consequence, they rule out the system of wage earning.
8. Socialism promotes atheism. Belief in God, who unlike us is infinite, omnipotent and omniscient, clashes head-on with the principle of absolute equality. Socialism therefore rejects the spiritual, claiming that only concrete matter exists. God, the soul, and the next life are illusions according to socialism.
9. Socialism promotes relativism. For socialism there are no absolute truths or revealed morals that establish standards of conduct that apply to everyone, everywhere, and always. Everything evolves, including right and wrong, good and evil. There is no place for the Ten Commandments, neither in the private mind nor in the public square.
10. Socialism mocks religion. According to Karl Marx, religion is “the opium of the people.” Lenin, founder of the Soviet Union, agreed: “Religion is opium for the people. Religion is a sort of spiritual booze in which the slaves of capital drown their human image, their demand for a life more or less worthy of man.”
Socialism is really a form of slavery. It banishes God, it starves the soul, it stifles initiative and free enterprise, it dismantles the family, and it shipwrecked entire nations.
May God protect America from socialism.
Unfortunately, the majority of gen z and gen alpha accept socialism without question, evidence, or logic.

Capitalism is not our enemy, cronyism is.
The real con is that socialism is also a market economy, just an underground market economy while the fraudulent elite and rulers pretend to reject the evils of a market economy.
There are certain things that socialism is better at. It is probably not a good idea to allow corporations to run the fire and police departments. Some American states have allowed them to run for-profit prisons which have led to kickbacks going to judges and D.A.s in order to maximize revenue such as with the kids for cash scandal.

Now time for some scripture.
10 “When you go out to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive, 11 and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife, 12 and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails. 13 And she shall take off the clothes in which she was captured and shall remain in your house and lament her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife. 14 But if you no longer delight in her, you shall let her go where she wants. But you shall not sell her for money, nor shall you treat her as a slave, since you have humiliated her.
Psalms 118:8-9
“It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in princes.”
1 Corinthians 10:24
Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.
Acts 2:44-45
All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.
Bible is socialist.
Amen.
13 If a man takes a wife and, after sleeping with her, dislikes her 14 and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,” 15 then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring to the town elders at the gate proof that she was a virgin. 16 Her father will say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now he has slandered her and said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.’ But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.” Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the elders shall take the man and punish him. 19 They shall fine him a hundred shekels[a] of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.
@@goranmilic442God loves a cheerful giver. The church in Acts freely gave what they earned by trading their labor.
If there is no private property, you have nothing to freely give other than your time and hard work.
In socialist societies there is not enough food because man is inherently corrupt and will not work hard enough to provide for others when there is no the possibility of accumulating property.
Until we live in a place where there is no sin, it is a simple matter of whether you want everyone to be fed or if equality of resource distribution is more important to you. I’m good with not starving and having to coexist with billionaires who have more than me.
A.O.C. can't answer the most simple and basic questions about ECON 101, despite having a bachelor's degree in Economics from Boston University. That's why she doesn't know how bad socialism is. And it's why she stupidly scuttled the Amazon distribution warehouse deal in her own district, costing her constituents jobs and the local government a huge tax base. None of the things she said would happen did. No one should attend a US university, or if you have to go to Hillsdale.
Says a guy who shouldn't be left alone to paint a fence...
@@Gek1177 Non sequitur
@@cmdrdatayt no, it's basically exactly what you said.
I can tell just from your empty critique that you've never even opened a book on Economics or know the first thing about Amazon.
@@Gek1177 You should get out of the bubble once in awhile. Start by watching the videos where AOC is asked basic questions about economics after she says dumb things and can't answer a single one, even stuff I learned in grade school. Then look at the videos where she in her own words claims all these benefits will come from not getting the Amazon distribution center and see if any of those came true. None did. Then actually come up with an argument instead of throwing insults and accusations that don't make sense and have no effect. I have four college degrees in my academic career, and am working on a fifth. I have taught economics. You have effectively demonstrated the vapid and intellectually vacant results of your mal-education.
Perhaps the terms of the deal were not that favourable overall. Her objection was that New York taxpayers would be subsidizing Amazon's activities in the city by surrendering $3 billion in would-be tax revenue to the corporation.
For those that want socialism , you can move. there are other countries that have it. We will help you pack and buy your one way ticket.
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
You reminded me of how a couple of people offered many people who h8 America to buy them their ticket out. They'll pay them to leave the US permanently and revoke their citizen status.
Of course, no one took them up on their offer. So many ungrateful brats.
Helping them pack and buying their ticket sounds socialist. They should figure that out themselves.

@@bigbenff1You wouldn't say so if you look at the wealth distribution and the trend of wealth distribution.
Thank you for the video!
Wasn't the early church socialist tho? Why doesn't anyone talk about Ananias and Sapphira? 🤣
They tried it and almost instantly corruption took over.
The early Church was not socialist. There was some VOLUNTARY communal life.
I don't say this as a "gotcha". Read Acts 5:1-11 and reply again please. 🙏🏽
@@meterfeeder did you intentionally miss verse 4? Honest question if not see all the way to the below part not the next sentence. But if so then: It clearly points out that it was theirs to enter into or not enter into. They didn’t have to lie. They didn’t have to pretend to give. They could have just kept the funds.
Note: Unless you’re responding to the original poster and not DrMarcelo.
The earliest followers of Jesus did not build a socialist community.
In Acts 2 scripture records that Jesus’ first followers quote, “…had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all as any had need.”
Later in Acts 4, we read that, “…no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they held everything in common..”
Some believe these scriptures show that early Christians were socialists and if those who actually walked with Jesus were socialists that means Jesus must have been a socialist himself.
Though Jesus’ first followers did demonstrate radical generosity there is no evidence they shared in the means of production that they abolished private property or that anyone was coerced into giving what they had.
In fact, when Ananias and Sapphira lied about what they had given to the community they were not condemned for refusing to give everything they had, they were condemned for lying about what they had done.
In Acts 5:4 Peter rebuked them saying, “While it remained, was it not yours? And after it was sold, was it not in your power?”
Those are not the words of someone who believes the poor have a RIGHT to the property of the rich.
Later in Acts, we read of churches gathering in homes owned by members. They still owned their own property. Holding everything in common was an expression of love that people had for each other. Not a mandate on early Christians. The fact is neither Jesus’ words or the behavior of the early church support the idea that Jesus was a socialist.
In fact, scripture consistently calls to contentment regardless of our situation, generosity out of love and not compulsion, and urges us to put our faith in God, and not our government.
Great, next please tell people what socialism means. There are people who think public healthcare is socialist. :)
I'm one of them.
Public healthcare is part of socialism. Socialism will decide EVERYTHING for you no matter what YOU want or think or demand or pay for. Period.
Capitalism is not motivated by greed, instead it’s motivated by self interest?
That is greed
Lol
Wrong. Greed does play huge part. I have never seen someone start a business or work to make someone else money.
If the world needs "widget x" and I decide to invent and make widget x, I'm doing it to benefit others and help them with a need. Will I benefit and become rich from it? Of course, but that's not my driving force. There's an old saying that states, see a need, fill a need. Businesses start because a need needs filled, and if successful they will prosper. Greed is an EXCESSIVE desire for wealth. Usually greedy businesses are operating illegally and eventually get caught.
PRAISE THE LORD HE IS BEAUTIFUL. Please pray that I turn from sin and obey Jesus truly and fully follow him only no man no religion.
Where do we clasify the Netherlands? They describe themselves as Social Democratic and have a successful economy.
This should be removed from the channel. The scripture should not be used to back up any economic model. Why are we focusing on the things of the world? Why give the unbeliever more “evidence” that believers are only focused on money?
Why do you think this is about money? It is about good and evil, and the effects both have on society. Scripture addresses a great many things as we have to live in this world. And God uses His people to carry out His plans on this earth. We would be foolish to isolate ourselves as Christians from this world. Seems that is how these messes usually begin by people being too lazy to address issues until they are out of control because evil never rests.
“Capitalism is not motivated by greed.” Lol rare frank turek L
PS These guys claim to be financial geniuses, and they can't even count to TEN! There are only NINE points on the board, not 10 as stated.
Strawman Argument…
This issue is too significant to ignore, but delving into it deeply would be a waste of my time, so I am only addressing it superficially.
Capitalism values profits over human life and dignity. In contrast, socialism opposes capitalism and a world where profits are prioritized over human life and dignity. To restore an ethical and moral framework in factories and mines, socialism promotes worker-owned factories and mines.
Do not conflate itsy-bitsy, teenie-weenie pseudo-ideologies like socialism and communism and totalitarian ideologies like Leninism, Marxism, Maoism, and Stalinism
Normal behavior, normal societal structures, and normal corporate structures are just that-normal. Normal does not inherently belong to capitalism. You don't need to follow an ideology, you follow logic and reasoning in other parts of your life so extend it to every aspects of your life.
In my time watching videos on youtube, I've learned that when an American preacher include economics or politics I need to remember i am listening to an American after all, so the culture will pop-up now and then no matter how gifted they are.
Franks only gift is being able to con people that refuse to think for themselves.
Sadly, a lot of American preachers/apologist seem to focus a lot on these matters. Maybe they are thinking about video views more than their message
Many American Christian speakers, unlike foreign preachers, are actually concerned about multiple aspects of your life. Should they be apathetic and stay silent?
@@TheGuy..Frank is concerned about how bank balance, he just jumps on cultural issues because his audience eats up conservative propaganda and just use God as an excuse.
The same thing I was thinking. I respect Frank and listen and learn from him but must also remember that he, like any of us, will filter his ideas through the lens of his culture.
Yes I agree on thou shall not steal. But remember EVERYTHING BELONGS TO GOD. WE OWN NOTHING. GOD GIVES AND TAKES AWAY.
EVEN MONEY BELONGS TO HIM .
THINKING WE OWN SOMETHING MAKES US ENLIGHTENED. (WHICH IS A BAD THING) WHEN ANYONE CAN TAKE THAT AWAY. NO MATTER IF ITS RIGHT OR WRONG. THE RUG WILL ALWAYS BE TAKEN OUT FROM UNDER US. SAME GOES FOR RIGHTS. WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO ANYTHING..
Self interest is a bad thing too,Not just a good thing.
Sure wanting to improve yourself is good . But how and why? Improve what?
While service is a Good thing . But depends on who you're serving.. yourself, good people, bad people, rich evil people
Some people that are Rich never help others .and the people at the bottom suffer under the weight of that pyramid.. the money doesn't always roll down...
There are poor everywhere... No matter what . Jesus talked about the poor alot .
There will always be poor people...
Why?
Sharing is caring is an important life lesson.
We NEED be taught to share. . MORE SO THAN WE ARE NOW. THE RICH NEED TO SHARE MORE THAN THEY DO NOW. Is this taught in school? I haven't seen it. Have you
Remember if everyone is Rich. No one is
This a world with limited resources. No one can own everything. If one person owns everything no one else does..
If we didn't have money would the world be a better place? Yes and no
Greedy people will keep their mountain of stuff and not share. They could KEEP on getting stuff . because it's free
Not everyone can be on top of the mountain.
Money is a limited resource to trade for other goods and services..
To say things have value is a vague term .. people can determine value. Out of the blue. Some can say it's worth noting, while the next one can say $100000..
If someone printed more money it makes that money worth less...that's economics..
Look at inflation. .means things go up in Price? Why? Hard to come by resources..
Simply put . Capitalism is not perfect not better than. Socialism/communism either. All have flaws..
Now what if that capitalism/socialism/ communism is ran by a Christian. By Jesus Christ himself .it would not fail.
Why because of the law of sharing.
It's like a boat .if everyone is rowing in the same direction. The boat moves forward. And if the captain is doing his job. And everyone follows the captain.
But if one person rows differently the boat doesn't go anywhere but I. Circles.
Sure capitalism HAS WORKED SO FAR. BUT IT WILL FAIL .all things die. Breakdown.
The mountains will always fall .what goes up must come down
Just because socialism and communism have not worked. Yet doesn't mean. That it's a bad idea. Or won't work in the future
Less one sided political takes with no nuance or examination of flaws in ones own side, please. We already mix socialism and capitalism. No one actually wants any society where only one is the option. They're all wrong.
More Jesus, please.
Jesus lives ♥️ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑
If only you could show the biblical Jesus actually was real?
If you could you would have something but you don't.
Also, don't forget how Immoral that the biblical god is.

Socialism also denies the nature of man: that's man's agency is true, valid and worthwhile. Adults do not need other adults to tell them what the need, like, or enjoy. Socialism presumes that they do. It denies the locus of human existence is the individual (in free community). Not the dictatorial group. When dictatorial groups rise to prominence, societies are crushed and fail to thrive. Free people inevitably seek to create value for others. Unfree people seek to eek out survival.

I agree, but market conditions often don’t work for those with low incomes. For example, if daycare workers are paid according to their valuable work, protecting and guarding those under five years old, then people with low incomes cannot afford daycare. If you are 62 and have a significant medical condition, you cannot get health insurance or the cost is prohibitive for a person with a low income. As Jesus says in Matthew 25, we must attend to the needs of the poor and sick that often is not present in the free-market system without significant regulation.
There are people under 65 that qualify for Medicare and Medicaid.
Medicare is for age 65 and older. Medicaid has income requirements, if you make too much you cannot get it.

People and the gov fight over taxes. Alot. On how much or how little. Who gets what taxes. Who does what with taxes. Who pays taxes. And how much. Some people (some rich don't pay enough. They get to pay less, for some reason)

DON'T IGNORE THAT
LOOK AT OUR ROADS. NOT FIXED. .
TAXES IS NOT A PERFECT SYSTEM EITHER
When communists get through with you, there is nothing to tax.
I think I’m missing what you’re pointing at. The goal of the video isn’t to say the system is perfect nor would any man made system be perfect as for as I can see. Every man made system will have trade offs. The danger is thinking you can fix anything without having a trade off that would be far worse than the original problem.
@@8voices well that's what people who live in a capitalist country think or say. They are like socialism/communism is 100 evil ..and capitalism is 100% good . that's the way half the world is talking about it..
We don't need football though, teachers should be paid at least double what they get now.
But thats not the point of the video.
1. Socialism does NOT deny Private Property. It simply points out that the majority have very little private property, sometimes less than required to keep body and SOUL together.
2. Socialism has little to say about security other than the fact that want (lack of resources) drives crime, a historic truth ignored by capitalism.
3. Socialism depends on Free Enterprise to produce a surplus that creates revenue that can be used to improve society (infrastructure) AND reduce the disparity between those who have little (typically one third of the population even in an advanced nation) and those who own most... the 1%.
4. Socialism does NOT remove competition. The point of equality is to provide a level playing field, from the beginning, that allows EVERY individual to achieve a greater proportion of their potential. The point is not to REDUCE everyone to the same level, but to raise the poorest to a level where they can contribute. This stimulates innovation and quality. Equality is the FIRST statement of the Declaration of Independence and the least adhered to.
5. At what point does Self Interest translate into greed? How can an individual born into poverty and ignorance provide effective Service?
6. Invisible Hand... what? Of God? This is the greatest top-down situation of all time!
7. Free Rider Problem. Some people do NOT have the mental capacity to contribute consciously (IQ below 83... known fact). Some people do NOT have the physical capacity to contribute 100%: young children, people born with physical disabilities, people who suffer life-changing injuries. IF the capitalist economy is not working well enough to provide some form of employment for every able-bodied person, what are people to do to survive? A question ignored by capitalism.
8. Ripple Effect. Since a state cannot function without revenue, taxation is inevitable. What is capitalism's problem with the people with the most resources making a proportional contribution to taxation? The wealthiest pay, proportionally, the least tax.
9. Supply & Demand. In what universe is entertainment more important than education? Well... ours, actually... but is that reasonable? In reality, excellent teachers are just as scarce as excellent quarterbacks, but the requirement for numbers for all those school classes is so great that quantities of incompetents are accepted for the job, just as in the lower football leagues almost anyone can play the part of quarterback as long as they know the basic rules.
This whole video is a carefully crafted piece of disinformation based on a false concept of socialism. IF you want to know what effective socialism looks like, rather than this pantomime of propaganda, look at Scandinavia.
Why would you tell people to look to my country and my neighbouring countries for socialism? We reject socialism, communism, Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism and all other totalitarian ideologies together with the root of evil, capitalism. We are not driven by ideology.
