May Jesus Christ the God guide all Muslims,Jews,Buddhist,Hindu,Agnostic and Atheist to Christianity.
That's unlikely.
Amen 🙌🏻
If Jesus can't do it, maybe one of the other 2 gods christians believe in can.
All they would need to do is provide some evidence of their existence......
@@somerandom3247 1. That's not what Christians believe. 2. The evidence is at your fingertips; we don't need to provide it to you. 😏
@@johnharrison6745
Weird how there is supposedly all this evidence, yet no one can provide it.... Always some excuse but never any evidence, almost like there is no evidence to give.
Evil can never produce anything good. Spot on Frank. Coveting is a deadly sin.
That is the root of so much out there isn't it? "You have this and I don't. That's not fair. If I can't have what you have, I'll take yours away."
Capitalism is built on coveting
@@festushaggen2563 never got why people are so covetous and jealous.
People think they are victims of colonialism so they justify redistribution of wealth but its all a scam
@@chloemartel9927 It plays into the whole entitled, oppressed victimhood virtue thing of today. If you're not happy, blame someone else for it.
Amen 👆 Keep bringing the salt, Frank! God bless you.
💯Jesus Is King
Well it's more likely that he will bring salt than evidence.
@@HUNTSMARTFASTHARD He doesn't need to bring evidence; it's right there at your fingertips. 😏
@@johnharrison6745
Yes you do need evidence to have something shown to exist, man's assertions don't count.
@@HUNTSMARTFASTHARD So, you'd have to SEE the evidence PERSONALLY? Nah; the reality is, "atheists" like yourself wouldn't accept/be-persuaded-by ANY amount/kind of evidence, learned-about by them in ANY way. You're just "PATH EH TICK" DENIERS/PROPAGANDISTS; and, it's UTTERLY unimpressive. 😏
@@johnharrison6745
Why is it religious people always claim that we wouldn't accept their evidence?
Do you think it's a get out of jail free card or something?
If evidence for the existence of a god was actually given then you would have something. Saying oh you won't accept shows you don't actually have any.
Utopia means no place.
Thank you Cross Examined.
So heaven doesn't exist then
Heaven is not Utopia Shlatzoid, you are such a doof.
Thank you for the video!
This brings up a conclusion that I've pretty much drawn up already. These things have essentially 1 goal. To have Heaven without God. To bring forth His kingdom without Him. The fools who think it's possible to have it without Him truly are fools. Impatient fools. They can't even seem to properly account for human nature.
I don't think so
Since none of you can even show this God to exist...
Trying right actually make things better in reality is far better then just praying to an imaginary god for it.
Turek fails to distinguish between “concept” and previous “schemes”. Meaning there’s a huge difference between an idea from actual practice. His claim that socialism/communism has consistently failed is in part a lie or purposeful ignorance. He simply doesn’t examine and separate the Idea from how it’s been implemented historically. There is nothing inherently “wrong” with the ideas of socialism/communism. Where it goes wrong is how the ideas are implemented.
Take for example Communist China. Right now communism is stomping capitalism in the U.S. And American consumers have helped elevate communist China to a first world military and economic giant. All done out of American individual self-interest. Save a $ and make China stronger and more of a global threat.
But the fact that China, a communist country politically and economically has been beating American capitalism serves up proof that the two are not mixing oil and water. That socialism/communism can function even within a capitalist economy. It just depends on how socialism/communism is implemented. And the past failure of the USSR is not an inevitable consequence of socialism/communism.
Why the religious is so opposed to socialism/communism is because those two political system take some power away from individuals to benefit only themselves. Which is the highest ideal of capitalism, self-interest. But at some point self-interest becomes self-defeating because it sets no limits upon the activities of individuals in order to attain wealth and power. Whereas, in China people are not permitted to do harm to their own nation. The Chinese society in other words is more important than self-interest. And a society that has common goals is likely to be a long-term survivor.
Should the US adopt socialism? I don't know of anyone that seriously wants that, and I don't think Turek asks the question in any sense of actual debate or discussion. He's got the answers chambered already-- he just needs to ask the right sensationalistic questions to get going. But what I DO know is that the current model, wherein a small group of people control the vast majority of wealth, is not sustainable.
Based on the teachings and preaching of Jesus Christ I can’t help but wonder if he would have pushed socialism or capitalism?
Hmmmm. Hmmm indeeed
Socialism has never worked anywhere for a very good reason , you don't want a dictator in charge of everything you say and do.
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
That's literally what your god is. An evil dictator that will make you suffer if you break his rules....
@somerandom3247 wrong , but if that's how you view him that's your opinion not truth
@@somerandom3247pleas don’t be ignorant
@@larzman651
So you know what else hasn't worked?
Christianity.
@@larzman651So god isn't the Supreme authority of his own kingdom?
Interesting
Why does the book of Acts read like socialism? The Lord told us to share our possessions and not to worship mammon, which capitalism seems to do.
What gives?
Master / slaves
Lord / peasants
Employer / employees
[cut to unhappy audience member Dan] Lol 😅
Thanks for this.
Feed the hungry, its harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.
Its hard to implement capitalism in Christianity or vice versa.
Only Lord Jesus saves
I heard some people from different industries will try to agree on the ethical use of A.I. What is moral position of god and bible on using A.I.?
It's an image of ourselves so what do you think, based on Scripture?
But”Coexist man”
Are otherwise capitalist countries with large social safety nets such that people have equal outcomes actually socialist? I’m not sure I understand what Franky Poo is calling socialism here
Equity (equal outcomes, where excellence is penalized and laziness is subsidized) is socialist. It’s possible to mix models so that capitalist business supports a welfare state.
@@ricksonora6656 Equity is more about levelling the playing field between the have's and the have-not's. Like being born in a rich family for example.
I’m confused here too. Only quotes from selected leaders from as far as 80 years ago are not a solid argument to begin with, and referencing dictatorship, to socialism is again less relevant to the current development of political science.
@@2ndPigeon That is true for a narrow definition. But as a political buzzword in the mouths of leftists, it means distorting the rewards system to favor the “oppressed.” You are focused on the goal and failing to see the injustice of the means.
In practical terms, Equity means my employer set government quotas as a higher goal than quality production. I lost training opportunities for tools I needed for my job to minorities who didn’t need those tools. Jobs that fit my training as an engineer went to people who had no training in that field because quotas had to be met (and then I had to fix their work). Same story for promotions. When Obama decimated the industry, non-minorities were the first to be laid off. Because of the timing (the bottom of a recession) a lot of brilliant careers were destroyed.
Equity goes beyond leveling the playing field. It takes revenge and tilts the field the other way. Reverse discrimination takes a situation where one side is vengeful and makes both side vengeful. Reversing injustice instead of eliminating it multiplies division and animosity.
@@Uniwantscake True!
Errr... Capitalism has its many flaws too
He igmores those and sluffs it off early in the vid.
No Frank that's not Socialism. Socialism is to take everything you have and keep it my own
Where did you get that definition from?
@@2ndPigeon From communists
@@Blablassis Specifically?
@@Blablassis then they told you that because they knew you weren't smart enough to know they were kidding.
Total clickbait, this was only 99,999,999 reasons.
Eh, every system is broken. No one wants a purely capitalist society no one wants purely communist. Both hurt the people. We already have socialist services as well. Worry more about the Lord! He'll bring a perfect government when He returns.
Jesus lives ♥️ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑
No; we have SOCIAL services. And, since "socialism" is POISONOUS and POPULAR, we SHOULD be addressing it.
@johnharrison6745 ^^^ false.
@@Gek1177 No; what I said is true. 😏
@@johnharrison6745 nope, it was incompetent tho.
@@Gek1177 If by 'incompetent' you mean 'more true than true'. 😏
Who is proposing socialism?
Having good and essential social services is not socialism.
Stalinism is not socialism.
If your platform is preaching the Gospel, stick to that.
College professors, their infantile "students", some western governmental-office-holders, entertainers, and ivory-tower "intellectuals" are proposing socialism.
Those people don't want "good and essential social services"; they want to feel intellectually and "morally" superior.
"Stalinism" was actually more successful than socialism, as it was neither limp-in-the-wrists nor utterly unrealistic.
We'll preach against the evil and empty-cranium-ness of Marxist "thinking" if we want to.
😏
@@johnharrison6745 I feel rather glad that I don't know you.
@@harryfaber Irrelevant. [and, to me, quite inconsequential] 😏
@@johnharrison6745 So anything that is government funded, you don't want?
No infrastructure, no healthcare, no non-profit news, firefighters, police, collective pension, social safety nets to prevent homelessness, public education etc.
This is all socialist policies, which is why countries that have the most of those also have the highest standards of living.
Social services is absolutely an element of socialism.
The rulers of socialism will always profit.
Hmm....very reminiscent of the rulers of capitalism wouldn't you say?
"Socialism is people taking advantage of other people, in Capitalism it's the other way around."
Socialism wasn't implemented correctly. Nazism was implemented as planned. Core idea of Nazism is to kill others. It's not core idea of socialism.
Thanks

My question would is this: the Scandinavian countries are social democratic. People are happy and enjoy the type of government they have. Are they sinning for having the kind of government they have? Are they wrong for being socialists?
The Scandinavian countries aren’t socialist. They have representative republics, much like the U.S. For the most part, they adopted a capitalist type system in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s and then established a lot of new social programs in the 70’s, having achieved great wealth through capitalism. They expanded those programs for a couple decades, and then have largely tightened them up (imposed tighter restrictions) since then to keep them from growing too much.
China was really a poverty stricken nation until they began allowing for some capitalism the last 30-ish years. It’s a brand of capitalism where only a few succeed, but enough to produce great wealth for them.
We are not unlike the Scandinavian countries. We just haven’t installed the degree of social programs they have. But we are a much larger, more diverse, more spread out country, so it would be nearly impossible to do so.
Read 'Marx and Satan' if you want to know the reality of socialism.
Ask the survivors who lived through this nightmare.
Ayne Rand’s “We the Living” is an eye-opener, too.
@@ricksonora6656 Lmao
Envy, a horrible thing
Greed is worse.
And yet the US already carries out socialist principles and practices in many ways. Those who rail against the term often seem to ignore that.
America could definitely do with being more socialist. Taxing the churches alone could end the homelessness epidemic in the USA.
😂
Therein lay the 'bogeyman'. America could do with being more socially responsible. As soon as you put the label 'socialist' on anything, people immediately think 'Stalin, Mao, Hitler'. They do not think England in 1953. A Monarchy with an elected government, state managed public transport, state owned coal mines, state owned steel works, even a state owned airline operating from publically owned airports, a decent health service, schools and so on.
The great Thomas Sowell turns 94 next month.
Some people think God created the Universe; some people think nothing did. Which is the funniest guess? The nothing people make fun of the God people they say God doesn't exist; ok maybe, but do you know what definitely doesn't exist, nothing. That's the defining characteristic of nothing is that it doesn't exist. So what are we talking about, either you think it's God something you can't see, touch, taste, photograph and science can't prove, or you think it's nothing something you can't see, touch, taste, photograph and science can't prove. I think we can all agree that if nothing, if your nothing spontaneously erupts into everything that's a pretty miraculous nothing. When you ask the nothing people what happens when you die they'll tell ya nothing you go into nothing. Do they mean that they merge back with their creator???
What about the people that just say 'I don't know how the universe came to be until we have more info'?
Those would be the most honest people right?
You comment on the wrong video?
You don't watch, right? You just comment.
@@2ndPigeon the people who dont know should stay out the conversation until they do know because they have nothing to offer
@@jeffphelps1355 Except honesty. Because saying it's a god, a 'nothing' or universe creating pixies is dishonest as there is no evidence for any of those.
@@2ndPigeon if you dont know then who are you to decide what qualifies for evidence
The US should adopt Eastern Orthodoxy
Talk to Christians in Eastern Europe. Orthodox churches always use state power to oppress biblical Christians and support totalitarian governments.
Lol is it 1985 or something
More like 1984 these days. 😏
Even if i grant you that many more people are murdered "in the name of atheism", then that stil speaks against your god.
If people died in the name of atheism, that is to be expected in the absence of a god.
But an all loving god would really allow millions to be killed in his name? That's bad publicity for his brand.
Stick to religion Frank. Communism is absolutely not socialism 😖
He never said they were the same.
And not one reason to show a god exists. Good work Frank.
capitalism is unequal and creates poor, my socialist ideologies do not destroy capitalism but combine two ideas into one political system, to creat better harmony between, social well fare and private ownership, ultimately to be fair to the majority public, and private ownership on the major living resource of the nation must be limited to avoid money slavery. I using socialism to grow healthy capitalism.
So basically fascism is what you're advocating for.
All free people are not equal, and all equal people are not free. You ready to give up your freedom?
Socialism was never an economic system apart from a market economy. Socialism has always been a severely suppressed market economy. So we must ask ourselves, why? Why does socialism try to suppress what is natural to economies?
There's a huge difference between Marxism and Socialism. We all need some socialism, but we don't need Marxism. We need a social safety net to take care of people in dire need. Our taxes should and do go to cover such things.
@@normanmiller604 What do you think is keeping us from pure socialism?
@@normanmiller604 Hello? Since socialism is so needed, pure socialism must be the bee's knees. What is keeping us from pure socialism? Any ideas?
@@lkae4 Political systems work best when they're modeled after how most people eat at a buffet. You don't eat just one item, you eat a variety of your favorites. Some aspects of socialism are necessary for dealing with large issues like natural disasters. FEMA is typical of the kind of social agency we need. Capitalism works well with some social safety nets. The level of social programs is what we get to vote for.
Tell me you don’t know what socialism is without telling me you don’t know what it is.
You haven’t done much by your comment to “educate” us as what socialism actually is.
@@MattTheBandGuysocialism is a political theory where the means of production is controlled by the community rather than private industrialists.
Frank has absolutely no clue what socialism is. If he respected his audience at all he would have done some research to know that every major economy on the planet is a mixture of socialism and capitalism. We call them mixed economies.
@@MattTheBandGuy it's an economic and political philosophy which advocates for the public ownership of the means of production.
@@MattTheBandGuy wasn’t trying too.
