BTW...

 I came across a conversation on social media the other day that I had seen several times before.  I usually ignore it.

Christ gets brought into an argument that a Progressive is losing, usually when the Progressive starts  claiming that Jesus was a Socialist.

Jesus was not a Socialist.  He never practiced nor did he preach Socialism.  He would have found the involuntary taking of wages from one who had earned them to give to another who had not, quite abhorrent.  

Jesus practiced and preached selflessness.  And charity.  Giving of oneself and of one's treasures voluntarily.  Because it is right and good.

Big difference.  Jesus practiced and preached selflessness until his final breath.

"Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do"

Details.  Words.  Meanings.

Peace.

    That's up for interpretation. No, Jesus, didn't preach communism or socialism. As for the early Church though:

    "There were no needy ones among them, because those who owned lands or houses would sell their property , bring the proceeds from the sales, 35 and lay them at the apostles’ feet for distribution to anyone as he had need." Acts 4:34-35

    "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." Karl Marx LOVED this one... ...STRIKINGLY similar... Unfortunately, easy enough for a Leftist to bend, pry, and distort to fit his argument...

    Hey Grog,

    Yes, I am well. Thanks for asking.

    The political landscape today is just so damned depressing. LOL.

    Doing as well as can be expected, thanks.

    It may be an interesting vote here in liberal wa state, the POS inslee appears to be on thin ice, if talking with people over the last two weeks is any indication. However, the fat lady ain't sang yet, chuckling.

    What-ever may be, check six, and keep the prayer line open, we that think alike will need all the help possible.

    Blessings
