Leftist Thinking Is The Most Destructive Element In Existence

[Desdichado]

It may be worthwhile to return to meat-and-potatoes basics here. Leftism is a broad political orientation, not a political party or even a political philosophy as such. Left-Right demarcates whether you are for or against capital-R Revolution.

The OP may be no Carl Trueman, but the first post nailed down what Pro-Revolutionaries believe in America today. It's increasingly distant from Biblical mores and, almost more importantly, encourages and proposes to enforce that distance.

Too many bogus statements and assumptions. Should have been a blog post not a discussion thread.

Does exposure of the left rankle you that much?

It's so much nicer to have agreed-upon definitions for discussion, isn't it?

 

[Dino246]

Why is it that anyone who questions the assertions made about leftists/leftism is immediately assumed to be leftist? When did questioning claims become a leftist tactic? It seems to me that shutting down rational questions with demeaning dismissal is actually, itself, a leftist tactic.

This is a discussion site. If merely asking questions brands the questioner as a "problem", then this is no longer a discussion site, but a totalitarian site.

Give that some thought before you assume the political persuasion of someone who asks questions.

I cannot muster any respect for someone who insults others without making any effort to understand them.

Excuse me and I am not taking sides, but how is what he said an insult??? The millions of murdered babies may just be the skeleton the left hangs the rest of their flesh on. Or perhaps that is what stands out to God the most.

That's why Donald got the "boot" from God!

Dan 4v17...

Actually, I would assert that what is going on, is more of a judgement call from God.

The thing so many confuse, is what is and what is not God's will. It is never His will that corrupt leadership sits in power and it has been sitting in power for many decades now and has finally produced the fruit that we all can see and taste that it is NOT good.

God allows. He did not plan the corruption of both parties. God no more booted Trump out of office than He voted.

These sad little one liners of some people indicate glee where there should be sadness. Nothing funny going on.

2 Corinthians
6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,
6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

I asked for clarification from the OP; he jumped in and provided a shock statistic, which is a far cry from an explanation. Then he added, "do u need more? If u do then u r a leftist."

Lazy spelling aside, he was clearly taking a shot at me, which was confirmed in his next post to me.

Most people don't realize that in Marx's "Communist Manifesto", he writes that once the Socialists have seized all the guns, wealth, and rights of citizens in a Capitalist society, they are supposed to STEP DOWN FROM POWER (anyone who doesn't believe me can read it for themselves) STEP DOWN FROM POWER and join in with the new, glorious communal society where all goods are common, all labor is common, and control of everything is held in common by all people in this great, glorious Communist paradise.

The problem is that when these ideological Socialist freedom fighters get a taste of the bacon-wrapped shrimp parties, something short circuits in their brains and they immediately decide that staying in power is what is best "for the good of the people" -- and protecting that power becomes priority number one. And since they have all the guns and money, they are unstoppable. Anyone deemed a threat to that power gets to take a dirt nap in a mass graveyard.

And leftists are too stupid and selfish to comprehend any of this until the last thing that goes through their brain -- other than a soldier of the State's bullet -- is the thought that maybe the Capitalists were right after all.

Acts
2: 44 All who believe are in one place, and all things are in common,
2: 45 And he sold his property and his house, and gave it to every man according to his need.

This is communism,If you are against it, then you are against Christianity.

Actually, it isn't communism. In communism, participation in selling goods or making them "common" is not voluntary. That it is indeed voluntary is shown in Acts 5:4, where Peter, in the midst of rebuking Ananias, asks him, "While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control?" The point is that it was private property, and Ananias was under no obligation to give any of it to the church.

Do agree! Just read this Chapter (and the following Chapter) the other night, and it is amazing how the Holy Spirit moves (and can move) folk. They were all in one place and in one accord. Ananias would have done well to not have brought anything at all....

So people are willing to be poor and let the greedy more greedier,cuz this is called voluntary...........

 

[soberxp]

You don't know communism at all, because you haven't experienced it. Now there is no communism, only political parties.

Your left leanings are apparent.
Why are you so defensive? If you are a democrat say you are a democrat. If you are ashamed of it..stop being a democrat.
Your transference efforts are not working.

God allows. He did not plan the corruption of both parties. God no more booted Trump out of office than He voted.

How could God be behind MASSIVE CORRUPTION AND FRAUD? What foolishness.

By the same token President Trump failed to set up an INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIVE COMMISSION (totally outside the corrupt DOJ anf FBI) in January 2017 (four years ago) to carefully and thoroughly investigate every aspect of election fraud and corruption right across America. He had the authority to do so, since election fraud is a federal crime, particularly when it crosses all state borders.

Following that he should have issued an executive order which BANNED (1) mail-in ballots (except for cases of extreme disability) and (2) Dominion Voting Systems, and all electronic counting devices which were not strictly dedicated to tabulating results. The Dominion machines were rigged to MANIPULATE results, and that is precisely what happened. So Mr Trump must take some responsibility for his own loss. Which is a loss for America, not just for him.

This type of discussion drives me crazy, especially within the confines of Christ's church of believers.

Jesus tells us:

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age. Matt. 28: 18-20

Here is the addendum we've created for that passage in the last 100 years:

"Fear communism more than God. It is the evilest thing ever created. Fear it more than Satan; it is much more powerful. Instead of praying, 'lead us not into temptation,' we need to ask God to lead us not into communism.

We cannot trust God anymore to do what is right and good. Therefore, we must fight for our freedoms above all else, even more than we fight for lost souls. After all, we may have to give up the rights to our guns, our cars, and our nice homes. And we're just too proud to let that happen. After all, we are AMERICANS!!

Furthermore, the US constitution reigns supreme over God's Word. It's good to read the Bible, but all is lost if our constitution falls prey to liberal ideologies. We will never recover our liberties, and at that point, we all may as well curl up and die.

So, it is time to fight back! We must become obsessed to the point of disregarding the will of God concerning the following:

Science: We must be suspicious of it always. After all, it is NOT a gift from God but an abomination of leftist liberals.

Education: All is already lost there. We may as well give up. Just keep doing nothing and continue complaining about it, especially since it feels good to rail about everything. Besides, why would anyone want to be a teacher? It doesn't pay anything. Instead, keep telling your children to become engineers and executives to impress your friends at church.

Religion. Above all, keep being religious. It looks good and can set a good example for all those atheist, democrat, liberal freaks. If we just keep dressing up and going to church every week, they will see what great Christians we are, and we can stick our fingers deeper into the eyes of those dirty communists.

Pastors: We must lead from the pulpit! We cannot let socialist ideals eclipse our own. After all, being an American is Godly. All others, leave your souls at the door. Therefore every sermon must contain a long-winded rant about how socialism is worse than going to hell. Forget all that discipleship stuff. This means war!

Above all, pretend to do the aforementioned in the name of love."

Jesus is the one who uses the word "innocent"

In reference to who? According to the Mosaic Law, the priests and David were guilty of profanity...and the decision of God to either extend to or withhold mercy from the guilty His alone to exercise, not Situation Ethics' prerogative to demand. Therefore, Jesus is "innocent" while the priests and David are parndoned.

I'm not being subjective dude, I am getting this directly from the text. Christ's own words.

When we find a few fence posts which appear to be out of alignment with the others and process to try to move all the others so that they line up with our estimation of where the few are, that's textbook subjectivity. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of verses in the Bible which condemn sin ("the transgression of the law" - 1 John 3:4 KJV) and yet you insist that Matthew 12:1-8 KJV is a license to break the law if the situation requires it, though I've shown you a perfectly acceptable alternative interpretation in which Jesus' point is to expose hypocrisy.

You appear to have a really weird definition if "leftist"

Do leftists or conservatives tolerate every stripe and type of sin in the name of "love and compassion" by virtue of ideas like Situation Ethics? Hint: the only thing that cannot be tolerated by them is anyone who calls sin by it's rightful name - hence, the insanity of "cancel culture" that is raging today.
