Has it ever dawned on you that historic “Communism” has always been “Atheistic” while historic “Capitalism” has always been “Theistic?” Yes, that's right! Let that sink in for a moment.

Okay then, given that fact, why is that a fact? Very simple! The principles of “Communism” are based upon the words of the atheist Karl Marx while the principles of “Capitalism” are based upon the theistic authors of the Word of God. It is not a stretch to say, but it is absolutely the truth to say:

Or again:

To clarify this further, in “Communism” personal property and individual rights do not exist. There are no such things! People and property in “Communism” are the  possessions of the state and exist for the state. When people in Communism hear a loud knock on the front door, they can be sure that it isn't Publisher's Clearing House.

In “Capitalism” people's lives and possessions are gifts from God and belong to the individual and must be protected by the state, not possessed. Of course, that is what I always believed as a child, that the government exists to protect and not to possess. But then again as a child I also believed that that squirrels in the forest gave my mother her fur coat to keep her warm in the winter.

In short, in possessive “Communism” it is:

In in protective “Capitalism” it is:

CAPITALISTIC OR COMMUNISTIC AMERICA

Is God a Capitalist? Or course not! God is not a politician or a political system! Nor is the Word of God a textbook on political science. Frankly, the way things are today nothing could debase God more than to be called a politician. God is God and cannot and may not be defined or confined within any human philosophy or political structure! God is not a “Republican” or a “Democrat” or a “Capitalist” or a “Socialist” or a “Communist.”

“GOD CANNOT BE POLITICALLY LABELED WITHOUT BEING

PERSONALLY LIBELED.”

However, while God is not a "Capitalist," there are clear principles in the Word of God that lay down very strong mandates for a “Capitalist Society” in principle as the will of God for mankind. The principles of “Private Property” and “Free Enterprise” abound in Scripture so much so that we can indeed say that “Capitalism is Biblical.” And any political system that encroaches upon personal liberty, personal property and free enterprise is unbiblical and opposed to the will of God for mankind.

We read in Exodus 20:15,

God puts a high value on personal property, and a high cost upon thievery in Exodus 22:2,

“If the thief is caught while breaking in, and is struck so that

God is passionate about private property and the protection thereof. If you will:

"PRIVATE PROPERTY IS A SACRED DIVINE RIGHT."

That is one of the reasons God has ordained government, and that is to protect that sacred right!

Therefore, government that promotes and protects human life and property for the common good as its prime reason for being is godly. That is government of, by and for the people.  That is by definition “Capitalism.”

But any form of government that takes and extorts human life and property for its own agenda and advancement as its prime reason for being is ungodly. That is government of, by and for the government.  That is by definition at its essence “Communism.” 

And of course, the well known story of Ananias and Sapphira in the New Testament, who are infamous for their lying to and cheating God and consequently dropping dead in their tracks. But contained in that story is the clear teaching of private property and private ownership. We read Peter's words to them about their property in Acts 5:8,

"While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own?"

And then on top of that, they brought a portion of the sales of the property and gave it "the church." (Acts 5:2) A double coronary for Karl Marx - private property sold and some of the proceeds given to the Apostles. For you see, in atheistic Communism the "State" is the Alpha and Omega, while in theistic Capitalism God is the Alpha and Omega. (The problem with Ananias and Sapphira was that God was only Alpha.)

What we have growing systemically in America today is:

If you will, as Dr. D. James Kennedy states:

And whose money is the government spending? Good question! For the fact is that the government has no money of its own. Not a penny!  Every red cent (red because it was earned by the blood, sweat and tears of the American people) that the government voraciously takes and recklessly spends is taken from the American workers and wage earners.

People immigrated by the millions to America over the years to escape brutal governmenal control and extortion. We are a nation of immigrants! The Czechs, Poles, Russians, Dutch and Germans etc. were fleeing from terrbily oppressive and controlling governments. They came to these shores seeking self-determination, self-initiative and self-responsibility. They came to think and work and plan for themselves. When a man no longer can think and work and plan for himself, he ceases to be human, but becomes nothing more than a member of a mob of yes-men who shout HEIL HITLER.

Now they find themselves again:

"IN A NATION IN WHICH GOVERNMENT TAKE-OVER AND

CONTROL IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS NOW

OUT OF CONTROL."

Not only is it a TAKE AND TAX AND SPEND GOVERNMENT, but  once the government takes it, most of that money is not put back into the private sector to protect and promote life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for the common man.  Rather it is spent on the ruling-classes' opulent lifestyles. as well as the agendas of special interests groups who pledge to work to get the politician elected.

It is scandalous to the whole nation, a reproach upon Washington D.C., and utterly inexcusable to discover what is observed by Professor Thomas Sewell of Stanford University, “The amount of money necessary to lift every man, woman and child in America above the poverty line is one-third of what, in fact, is being spent on poverty program. Clearly, much of the transfer ends up in the pockets of highly-paid administrators, consultants and staff.” *

D. James Kennedy goes on, “That is why two 'bedroom counties' of Washington, D.C. (one in Virginia and one in Maryland) have the highest per capita income in America.* And again, "According to one estimate, the federal government spends twice as much money to create a  job than does the private sector." *

Then of course there are the ever-present lobbyists in Washington. Kennedy writes: "The government is extraordinarily wasteful. Examples of that are so numerous they hardly bear mentioning, but consider that we are spending hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars, to learn such things as:

-why people cheat and lie on tennis courts;

-the mating habits of Japanese quail;

-whether sheepdogs really protect sheep;

-and all sorts of other "important' things our government wans to know.*

“NOT ONLY THE GOVERNMENTALIZING OF THE UNITED STATES

What are we saying? Simply this, when you have God being removed from and being made illegal in society by all the branches of the government – the executive, legislative and judicial, along with out-of-control governmental takeover of the private sector, you are moving away from Capitalism and toward Communism.

The Communist Party in America is thrilled by what they are seeing. America is not only being deCapitalized, she is being deChristianized! Unless the people rise up against this now, America in the very near future, like Hansel and Gretel, will not be able to find even small crumbs of her formerly Christian and Capitalistic society to be able to find her way back home.

Allow me to quote from my book Is God With America on page 146, “America has now begun to smell of atheistic communism. Why do I make what may seem to be such an outrageous claim? Very Simple! It was always the Soviet Union’s rigid structure designed to keep religion out of politics and God out of society. This is the very core of the communist state as well as what drove Hitler to kill the Jewish people. Americans, wake up! That is the emerging political climate in modern America.” **

We must remember that it was Karl Marx who said:

And again:

"RELIGION IS THE OPIUM OF THE PEOPLE."

CAPITALISTIC OR SOCIALISTIC AMERICA

What is happening to America before our very eyes is the bankrupting of the national treasury by the government’s insane and reckless spending, and the printing of money like popcorn that will destroy the dollar and the capitalistic system. Many are becoming restless and uncomfortable with what is happening, but the moment they try to swim against it with their "TEA PARTIES," they are labeled by the present regime as "terrorists" as the  sharks try to drive them back into shallow water where they belong.

One would think that this would be stopped by the onslaught of common sense and the weight of responsibility to our children who we are mortgaging for generations to come. For many voices warn us that if this continues there will be no more America for our children's children, and that if this financial insanity isn’t stopped, many believe that it will lead to America of necessity joining the one-world government and currency and the ushering in of the anti-Christ.

But there is something else happening, and that is the “Decapitalizing” and the “Socializing” of America, which is where godless Communism insidiously is laying its eggs.

No one seemed to know what it meant when the psyching of the gullible and frenzied masses took place, as they cried out with their totally unknown but alluring presidential candidate, “YES WE CAN!” Yes we can WHAT? Nobody seemed to know and what is more, they didn’t seem to care. All that really mattered in the midst of an unending war, growing unemployment, and  the housing-market collapse was “YES WE CAN.” It was a sweet morsel that was devoured and swallowed hook, line and sinker by the mimicking and frenzied rout.

What clues? Oh they were and are all such good sounding, virtuous words, which is why they slipped by unnoticed in the midst of the mania and madness. The mantras of the “Socialist” were carefully and strategically uttered in public campaigns, so that the “Socialist Charmer” could, if elected, one day say, “Oh yes, I told you so, I was truthful with you all along.”

It all sounded so compassoinate and charitable, and therefore welcomed! Mr. Obama suddenly became the “Kool-Aid Mom” on the block who could be counted on to serve huge pitchers full of flavored sugar water much to the delight of the vulnerable and gullible children in the neighborhood.

As sweet as they tasted, the mantra-bywords of Socialism were and are poisonous and deadly to America’s free enterprise economy. They are curse words in the form of fallacious, encouraging pretenses. This has always been the stuff out of which the gruesome and sadistic fantasies of "Socialism” and “Communism" are spun. "Redistribution of Wealth!" "Fair Share!" "Social Justice!" "Regulatory Reform (Including Health Reform)!"

If these Socialist priorities are allowed to spread unchecked and unimpeded, I am quite sure that in my lifetime, and for sure in my children’s and grandchildren’s lifetime, the dying cries of "Capitalism" will more and more be muffled and finally extinguished under the "Socialist Revolution in America."

In keeping with it all, once elected, Obama took more than a dog into the White House with him, but his “Marxist” czar-dawgs as well whose heroes and mentors are by confession mind you Karl Marx, Fidel Castro and Mao Zedong.

And for good measure, with the “Socialist’s Agenda" to undermine the hated “Capitalist System,” came the pledge to train a “Citizens Army,” whatever in the world that is. It too sounded totally suspicious, but it too slipped by because no one knew what to make of it. In America we have the United States Armed Services, the National Guard, the United States Coastguard, the State and City Police, and the County Sheriff' Departments. But we never had a "Citizens Army" in America. That is nothing more or less than:

"THE MILITARIZATION OF THE AMERICAN CITIZENRY."

That is a totally foreign concept in America where there is no valid army except that which is established by the Constitution of the United States and authorized by the American Government. 

Now you are getting it aren't you? The notion of a “Citizens Army” has "Revolution" and "Overthrow" written all over it. What it is really about is to help the community organizer pull off his “Socialist Revolution.” It would not be the United States Army, but his own “Citizens Army” recruited from the depressed and desperate urban communities in which he already had experience as a community organizer. The “Perfect Storm!” The "Jim Jones of Socialist Politics” with his purple "Socialist Kool-Aid" to kill "Capitalism!"

There you have it in a nutshell! That is America! And as we have seen and will see, it is all thoroughly Bible-based. Free Enterprise! Government promoting and portecting free enterprise with its hands off this bread of life of Capitalism. Not CITIZENS ARMY! Rather, CITZEN ENTREPRENEURS!

“For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his

“And to one he gave five talents (silver coinage), to another, two,

“Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and

The “Great American Free-Enterprise System” is based on the Biblical principles of “Men of Business” and "Private Investors." Capitalists! A free banking system is absolutely critical for both. Small and  large businessmen are the lifeblood of America and the world, whatever that business be from farmer to financier. Without them, human beings starve, nations die, and the world is thrown into constant famine and starvation. (Even though today the word “Businessman,” like the words “Used Car Salesman,” have become a slur because of greed-driven, crooked, criminal-corporate executives who are thieves and who break the public trust and rob them blind.)

“THE DOLLAR TAKEN BY GOVERNMENT CANNOT BE SPENT OR

It was Adolph Hitler who would shout:

"NEIN, NEIN, NEIN - NO. NO, NO."

We as Americans must now stand up and shout:

"NO, NO, NO MR. OBAMA, YOU ARE ONLY A FEW DAYS

AWAY FROM DESTROYING AMERICA."

For in fact, in God’s scheme of things, the five talent, the two talent, and the one talent servants of and investors for God's Kingdom economy are all necessary, whether the physician or the mechanic or whatever, to maintain the functionality, productivity and fruitfulness of life!

Plus, oh how I thank God for physicians without whom I would have long ago died. And oh how I thank God for the mechanic, without whom Bob the ignorant klutz would forever be messing around under the hood and gouging his knuckles on some mysterious, very sharp-edged and greasy germlin.

Really the "Redistribution of Poverty!" This is now unimaginably and unthinkably where America is headed, i.e. the equal distribution of poverty. It sounds far out, but know that "Socialism" is a degenerative process that will take time as it  has done in the impoverished 3rd world countries and industrial nations of the world. 

I talked to a nurse in a major hospital in Grand Rapids, MI this past Thursday, January 4, who with her husband lost ¾ of their retirement savings in the recent Wall Street meltdown due to the greed, theft and mismanagement in corporate America. Instead of the government giving them back their losses, the government bailed out the crooks with billions of more dollars of the taxpayers’ money. Confounded, compounded robbery!

Now because of the current “Decapitalization and Socialization of America” with the government potential takeover of the “Capitalist Private Sector Health Care Industry,” this nurse with her husband are moving, or should we say "fleeing" from Ameria to escape ungodly and unbiblical Socialism in America and move to Belize to help with the healthcare system there.

 
JUSTICE AND MERCY

However, you will find that "Socialists" seductively will also talk about “Justice” and “Charity” as the “Twin Virtues” of their hidden, socialistic goals. However, don’t be fooled by their calculated and deceptive use of  these totally Biblical concepts.

“Justice” in "Capitalism" means something totally different than what “Justice” means in “Socialism.” When we think of “Justice” as practiced in “Just Societies,” it means that everyone will receive a fair and impartial hearing in the court system of that nation. So fair, that everyone is considered innocent if and until  proven guilty.

And then of course "Charity." And really now, who could ever be against “Charity” –  “Love.” I John 4:8 and16 make it very clear that:

How could you ever be opposed to love, seeing that God is love? That is the same as being “Anti-God.”

But what "Socialists" mean by “Charity” is raising taxes on the upper and middle classes and thereby forcing them to be charitable to the lower class. But love/charity is not true love/charity if it is forced! True love/charity is only authentic if it is freely and voluntarily expressed and given.

Taxed-enforced charity is as oxymoronish as the name for the “Social Security System” in America. The “Social Security System” in America was initially called FICA – The Federal Insurance Contributions Act. Of course, there is nothing contributive or voluntary about the FICA tax, which you would quickly discover if you refused pay it.

“TAXING AND BEING CHARITABLE WHEN IN FACT IT IS THE HEIGHT

OF INJUSTICE AS WELL AS FOLLY FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO

PORTRAY THEMSELVES AS BEING GENEROUS AT OTHER’S

FORCED EXPENSE.” (A Welfare State)

CONCLUSION:

Earlier it was stated that nothing can be done about “The Socialization of America” and the destruction of our “Capitalist System.” That is not true. Something can and must be done about it and that is stated in The Declaration of Independence:

"THAT WHENEVER ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT BECOMES

DESTRUCTIVE TO THESE ENDS, IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE

PEOPLE TO ALTER OR TO ABOLISH IT, AND TO INSTI-

TUTE NEW GOVERNMENT, LAYING ITS FOUNDA-

TION ON SUCH PRINCIPLES AND ORGANIZING

ITS POWERS IN SUCH FORM, AS TO THEM

SHALL SEEM MOST LIKELY TO EFFECT

THEIR SAFETY AND HAPPINESS.”
