One of the lies the religious left– and the political left– try to perpetrate is the premise that socialism is supported by biblical teachings. Michael Knowles, Douglas Wilson and even the Catholic priest in this video do a good job of debunking that position. This is a spirited debate that demonstrates the self-righteous but incoherent ramblings that the left uses to support its positions:
Did Jesus Christ Mandate Socialism?

Sorry TC, but no video.
The video is displaying on my end, Fred. Maybe try another browser? (There are a couple of 5-second ads to get past.)
Got it. Well, we have a 3-1 split as to whiter Jesus was a socialist. It seems clear that Acts does not that support this odious, simple and shallow message.
No, it doesn’t, Fred. I enjoyed this video although the lefties were a bit exasperating.
Golly, it seems mighty simple to me. Jesus didn’t cancel the 8th Amendment: Thou shalt not steal. Socialism is just another word for theft. Stealing what other people have produced.
Charity must be voluntary or it is theft and is not charity.
J. Sobran, the socialists like to portray the forcible taking of property as righteous and compassionate. They don’t operate according to the usual moral code. Instead, they invert it.
You’re right– it IS stealing. It IS theft.
