Resisting Tyranny IS Obeying God!
“Resisting Tyranny is Obeying God!”
Thomas Jefferson
For socialism to pass from the realm of theory to the realm of reality, it must be forced upon a nation.
In other words, implementing socialism makes it necessary to have a totalitarian government.
It’s only by “government decree” that private ownership of houses, lands assets of any kind and the means of producing them are transferred to the state.
“Where do wars come from? Why do people among you fight? It all comes from within, doesn’t it — from your desires for pleasure which make war in your members,” James 4:1.
Winston Churchill made an often quoted comment in how to discern the difference about socialism from communism.
He said,
“Capitalism is the unequal distribution of wealth,
Socialism is the equal distribution of poverty,
and
Communism is socialism with a gun in your back.”
How many Americans, or Free World Countries, REALLY understand what socialism is?
How does a socialist economic system differ from a free market capitalist system?
Is socialism something to be embraced?
Why do many still oppose socialism?
Socialism as an economic philosophy is somewhat an idea that one may take an interest in, but it lives in the realm of theory or potential concepts. Theories, in and of themselves, don’t threaten anyone.
But ideas acted on, do have consequences.
Theories don’t like to be simply hypothetical, they want to take on human flesh and enter the real world.

Thus saith the true and living spirit of Yahweh:
Jeremiah 42…….Jeremiah’s Advice to Stay (selah)
7 At the end of ten days, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, 8 and he summoned Johanan son of Kareah, all the commanders of the armies who were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest.
9 He said to them, “This is what the Lord says, the God of Israel to whom you sent me to bring your petition before him: 10 ‘If you will indeed stay in this land, then I will rebuild and not demolish you, and I will plant and not uproot you, because I relent concerning the disaster that I have brought on you. 11 Don’t be afraid of the king of Babylon whom you now fear; don’t be afraid of him’—this is the Lord’s declaration—‘because I am with you to save you and rescue you from him. 12 I will grant you compassion, and he[a] will have compassion on you and allow you to return to your own soil.’
13 “But if you say, ‘We will not stay in this land,’ in order to disobey the Lord your God, 14 and if you say, ‘No, instead we’ll go to the land of Egypt where we will not see war or hear the sound of the ram’s horn or hunger for food, and we’ll live there,’ 15 then hear the word of the Lord, remnant of Judah! This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are firmly resolved to go to Egypt and stay there for a while, 16 then the sword you fear will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine you are worried about will follow on your heels[b] there to Egypt, and you will die there. 17 All who resolve to go to Egypt to stay there for a while will die by the sword, famine, and plague. They will have no survivor or fugitive from the disaster I will bring on them.’
18 “For this is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Just as my anger and fury were poured out on Jerusalem’s residents, so will my fury pour out on you if you go to Egypt. You will become an example for cursing, scorn, execration, and disgrace, and you will never see this place again.’
