Acts 4:32–35 "All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. And Gods grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need."
Matthew 6:24, "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.You cannot serve both God and money."
Luke 6:20, 21 "Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you that hunger now, for you shall be satisfied"
Jesus an Anarcho-Communist?

No offense to my Christian comrades but I just wonder how can you guys and gals read the old testament and not see God as a genocidal maniac? Who would worship such a being? I'm not a hater of Christianity or anything it's just I can't understand how people don't see how most things in the Bible are just blatantly wrong.
Just read the Gospels, including the Gnostic Gospels, and maybe John's letters too, and mayyybe Revelations. I agree, the LORD of the Old Testament is a demon. Fuck the Demiurge!
...
Probably rationalize it by the fact that old testament god is actually an amalgamation of many pagan gods from the various stories that the OT copies
The flood never happened and even if it did they were kulak heathens anyways.
The ☘️Israelites☘️ of the Old Testament were pretty much trash children who could never keep with God's binding covenant and thus constantly invited His wrath.
God of the new testament worse though.
That's technically Christian Socialism though.
>serving someone whose most devoted servants openly call themselves "god-fearing"
Absolutely reactionary.
I simply don't take most of the Old Testament seriously.
this but unironically
No offense to my Juche comrades but I just wonder how can you guys and gals read the outline of Juche and not see Kim Il-Sung as a nazbolist maniac? Who would worship such a being? I'm not a hater of cute Korean girls or anything it's just I can't understand how people don't see how most things in the DPRK are just blatantly wrong.
God as a genocidal maniac. Holy fuck, when did Stalin become the proto-Jew god?
Also
The Marcionites agreed. Their namesake, Marcion of Sinope, was an early Christian scholar who concluded after study of scriptures that the god described in what is now known as the Old Testament could not possibly be the same one as the god of Jesus, citing radical divergences in personality, doctrine and behavior..
His conclusion was that they were two separate figures; the Old Testament god being a minor tribal deity with a vengeful streak that had created the world but had no real interest in or relevancy to people that weren't Jewish; the new testament god being the true all powerful, universal and benevolent god
Stalin studied at a monastery.
That being said, I think that christcom is the politics that is the most consistent with Christian theology (based on my admittedly limited knowledge of Christian theology). Plus their mascot is a qt, so we should accept them on this board regardless of whether or not their politics are consistent or good.

Good post.

I don't understand this perspective. How can a communist be so squeamish about killing people via revolutionary violence?
No wonder nobody takes you scum seriously.
Liberals get out
How the fuck are we supposed to have a revolution without killing people? Are you some kind of liberal or something?
