Welcome!
I’m Bub Kuns and today we’re talking about socialism.
Does the Bible really promote socialism? Believe it or not, some people say “yes.”
Take, for example, liberal minister William Barber, who said “[T]he Bible must…promote socialism, because Jesus offered free health care to everyone, and he never charged a leper a co-pay.”
Well, that may be the stretch of all stretches!
After all, Jesus healed people WILLINGLY, not by government coercion as in socialism. The Gospels also tell us Jesus chose NOT to heal some people because of their lack of faith, while others He healed BECAUSE of their faith. In other words, He didn’t respond to every situation—or person—the same, as socialism dictates.
-Socialism’s underlying Marxist philosophy is not biblical; Jesus’ teachings and ministry reflect a God-centered worldview, not the man-centered one found in socialism.
And what are other problems with socialism? We’ll discuss them another time.
