Is the Church or Christianity a Socialist System?

 

There is no hope in the world or worldly systems.  From what can be observed, human attempts to create the Kingdom of God have left out the King, Jesus.  They have not waited for God to move but have tried to establish righteousness by laws, rules, and systems.  One of the prime examples of such an attempt is called socialism.  Socialism has resulted in terrible persecution of Christians and disregard for the principals of Christ. 

There is no implication here that is saying that free enterprise is the solution to the world's problems either.  The only solution is the Kingdom of God and for the followers of Christ to begin to follow Christ.  Righteousness that flows from the Spirit of God will cause peace and harmony, but the self-righteousness of the human upon which all such systems as socialism is based can only cause the judgments of God to fall on a nation.

Some have implied that the commands of the Bible to take care of poor are to be carried out by the State and not by the Church. There are several reasons that this is a teaching of error.

Socialism is a counterfeit of the Kingdom of God. It is the kingdom without King Jesus.

Christians do not tax non-Christians from whom they extract money by coercion. That was never God’s order. That is not Scriptural. Christians are to reach into their own pockets. The tithes and the offerings are to be used, by the Church, not the Government, to help orphans and widows. 

One problem in the United States (and other countries) is that the Secular Humanist religion has become the State sponsored "church." The Federal Government is acting as if it were the Secular Humanist church, not using tithe but using taxes to do churchy types of things.

This system that Liberal Christianity endorses is known as Socialism. Socialism tends to result in totalitarianism and fascism, though Socialism always speaks of a great compassion. Socialism is, in fact, an economic system based in envy, not on compassion. The compassion of the Socialist tends to be a false compassion that is simply a method of gaining political power.
