What Are The Issues Clear-cut Immorality
        
   Answers   Politics   Socialism: A Moral Issue

Is Socialism a political issue and a moral issue?

 

There are many areas of politics where we could point out problems or predict problems where the problems are not based in lack of moral fiber but perhaps are based in the lack of wisdom.  Over-spending would be a prime example.  Spending on sin is a moral problem, however.

 

I personally think that those who advocate socialism are fully aware of what government spending does to free enterprise economy.  It destroys economies everywhere.  I believe that they want the economy fail so they can move toward their dream of Communism.  That is an economic issue rather than a moral issue.  It is a question of wisdom rather than a question of sin.

 

There is, however, an area where Socialism and Communism become an issue of sin: Socialism and Communism are economic systems that are based on covetousness.  For this reason, Christians should not be putting their efforts into establishing these systems.  In addition, these systems seem to always go into systems that make State the god, cruel systems of government that usually make it illegal to follow Jesus Christ.  This is another reason these types of systems are to be avoided.  The idea of Christian socialism puts forward the idea that the Church has the responsibility to coerce money out of unbelievers so that the Church can use the government to do the work of the Church.  This, of course, is pollution.  In addition, Socialism and Communism appear to be attempts to establish the Kingdom of God on earth, but without King Jesus.  They are extensions of Humanism if anything, not something that the Church is about.  It’s no wonder that we see such self-righteousness, contempt for Christ and His followers, slander and the bearing of false witness, and violence from those who promote Socialism and Communism.  Socialism and Communism are also closely associated with cult liberalism, which is based in the unreasonable belief in natural human goodness.  Liberalism is a human goodness cult.
