Can you explain this?

i don't understand how a complete absence of god in society would be supported by christ. and the intended results may be christs wants. but christ would probably be happy with the intention of every economic system. utopia is the object of most. but utopia is unattainable on earth, and even if it's not communism certainly doesn't work well enough to attain it. i personally don't think christ would be content with any earthly conceived system.

Bauhaus, no offense intended here, but obviously you don't believe in Jesus. Have you even read the Bible? And why do you even care? You don't believe in Jesus, so what was the point in this post?

Obviously I have read the bible, or else I wouldnt make the post. You are just to caught up in communism can never be christianity. I care because some people have a hard time seeing a different light on things and Im trying to break that.

If you look at a pencil what is it? just a pencil, but think of what else it is, its a poker, something to tie a plant too, a dart, you can tie your hair with it, a hammer, a rocket, ect ect.



From now on i wont say anything you dont like.


idiot.

Christ was for giving up all things and living for God. He was for being dependent on God. He was not for sharing with everyone and he didn't want everyone to have to depend on one another.

I already have.

Tell me what from the " communist manifesto" and the bible have in common or how they relate....Jesus was NOT a communist...

You two need to go back an read the post.

I don't think that's possible since almost all Communists shun religion.

How does Communism relate to jesus christ? I want solid proof that jesus was a communist.

I like how some of you did agree its the same thing, but then said communism can never work... Does that mean christianty doesnt work either?

There has never been a Communist government in the history of the world as we no it. Communisom is the beleaf that ever thing is egual and fare and every one gets the same amout of every thing. Communisom has never worked out like it was soposed to because of the natural greed of the human race. But if there ever was a perfict communist govornment i think that it wold have one of aspects of the bible in it because the 2 main things the bible teaches is Love god above all and love your nabor as your self and communisom follows the love your nabor part. but like i said befor true communisom is impossibel so this disccusion is really pointless

Christ was definately a communist. That is, communism as a philosophy, not a goverment. Letter11x is also very wrong. Letter11x said {communism preaches dependence on government} wrong, wrong, wrong. Maybe Soviet Communism, and all the governments that say they are communism. Fascism is where you dedicate your life to your government and no other cause. You are clearly wrong. Communism was thought up as a perfect society- no possessions, everything is owned by the community, and everyone is equal. This is just what Jesus taught. However since the United States government did such a good job at convincing the world that communist states are ruled by dictators, are anti-religious, and anti-american, there are few minds that are willing to be non-conformists in this country. Communism was designed as a utopia, which with human greed is impossible. Therefore is resembles the teachings of Christ since no one can get all humans to defy evil temptations. learn and know the facts. Don't think what your government tells you without researching yourself.

Jesus and Theory Communists basically wanted to get to the same result, Jesus just thought that final utopian result could be reached through spirituality, and Communists think that final utopian result is to be achieve through revolution and government of the people.

I'm going to have to quote myself from a different board, and add a few things.
How is Christianity the same thing as communism? I don't think you know what one is, or maybe what both are. Christianity and communism clash with one another. Christianity preaches dependence on God [AND NO ONE ELSE, cannot stress that enough], communism preaches dependence on government [and communist governments generally are hostile towards religion, especially Christianity, see the first half of the sentence for why]. The overwhelming majority of Christians identify communism with atheism. Ever notice Reagan's barely disguised Christian vs. Atheist rhetoric during the Cold War?

let's see... communism along with every other type of government ever created is corrupt and Christ was God incarnate.... i don't think the two can be compared on any level

That doesn't work.

A millenia of a hierarchical, at times extremely tyrannical system, does NOT EQUAL ANARCHY!

jesus was an anarchist, not a communist. the catholic church is still anarchist. look up
'anarchy church' on amazon. pretty good books.
