There are some concepts of communism that is reflected the bible, but the idea of your consiense being fufilled in society, I think would be rejected, because it takes away from emotinal dependencies that were talked about by Paul in his letters.

quote:

If you're saying Christ was a communist than so was Mohammad or Buddha, or the Dalie Lamia. Every figure at the core of today's religions are than because each shared similar views of a perfect, peaceful Utopia.

im surprised it took this long to figure that one out.

there is alot of violence but what about that Corinthinthians passage about love or John 3:16 He so loved the world that He gave His One and Only Son So that whoever believes in him may not persih, but have eternal life. All those verses you were quoting were merely God being just. That's not a bad thing. Do you think its right for a criminal to get away with a crime? Only God can jugde and thats what he's doing in the verses you quoted. REad the whole bible especially the new testament and there is an overarching theme of love. I mean there is no greater love than to lay down one's life for a friend and we're all sinners and at one time or another have been unfaithful to God yet He still layed down his life for us.

6:5
And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.

4:12
And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.

14:9
And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.


21:3
And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.

21:4
Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:

Revelation
1:18
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

2:16
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

2:22
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
2:23
And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

ALL OF THIS IS SAID BY JESUS.

Yeah there's violence in the Bible, but can you point out one instance where Jesus is the one causing the violence. Sure there's violence if you don't call death by crucifixtion violent, I don't know what you do call violent. Anyways the Bible is more than violence thought. It is filled with love and forgiveness.

You got SERVED!

I read it on a pop sickle stick you jacc@$$

Communism didn't even come into existence as an ideology until the 19th century. Jesus is Biblical. Jesus could not have been a communist. You are only speculating what Jesus might think about communism, which cannot be judged. Unless you pray really hard and he confirms or denies it for you.

I would say Jesus was more inclined towards forgiveness, whereas communism is a very harsh and uncompromising ideology, and violence is advocated as a way of achieving its goals. Jesus seems to have been a pacifist.
Heh. I can't believe we're even discussing this.

ok fine ... extreme socialist?

Jesus wasn't a communist, He was the initator of the Catholic chruch and thu them all Christian churhes. The kind of economy Christ implied was one more of a mixed economy. There was bartering and sales of goods. The twelve apostles did help out the others and sell all their earthly goods to follow Jesus. However, this does not make Christ a communist.

You are an idiot... how could it have been a conspiracy when communism wasnt even invented when jesus was around. The point I'm trying to make is that communism is christianty.

A mixed-economist perhaps? (Is there a word for that which Im not being able to think of?)

Well obviously christ wasnt a capitalist... so what other choice is there?

No.
