Common Sense Commentary: "And he (Jesus) said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's". Luke 20:25. These words of Jesus are clear. Everyone has a God given responsibility to support and keep law and order for the safety and functioning of every society and protection against the lawless. However, we are not to give government "the things which be God's". If Caesar's law violates God's law, we are not to give up God's Word for Caesar's laws, opinions, or demands. God created government for the "welfare" and safety of people not to abuse and misuse them. Christians are to stand against such illicit, government actions.
Every National, Political System will, slowly or rapidly, but eventually, be moved by it's masses of people or by a strong faction of it's people to left or right of it's present state. All Nations are in flux. Even the greatest and strongest empires, in all of history, grew out of some other political system, in it's beginning, and eventually fell and changed to something else. This may not be America's turn to fall but it is headed in that direction. Only God, and our commitment to Him and what He created here, in our nation, can save us from something much worse than we have had. If we do not fight for our freedom, God will not do it for us. Because of our turning from Him, we do not deserve deliverance.
.... Here Are Seven National, Political States Of Being .....
1. ANARCHY = Total, national freedom from governance of any kind and therefore, political and social disorder. A state of lawlessness, survival of the fittest, prey and predator, every man for himself and his own tribe as among animals in the jungle. Chaos ! No Government. Example: Probably Somalia and maybe even Mexico ... soon.
2. SOCIALISM = Government ownership, control and distribution of all production, markets, and resources, with Supposed equality which has never yet been accomplished because of the inborn, sinful nature of all human beings including those who rise to power. Socialism cannot last long. Example: Every single nation which has experimented with socialism has failed. Present Examples: Half the world is going toward it and the other half is coming away from it.
3. FASCISM = Government which exalts nation, race and leadership. Fascism results in severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. A ruthless Dictatorship. Cult of personality worship. Example: Mussolini's Italy.
4. SOCIALISTIC FASCISM = Government which exalts nation, race and leadership plus Socialization of all production, markets and resources under absolute control including violation of any and all national laws and violent reaction to opposition or resistance. Requires the expansion of national borders to absorb neighbors and other countries, with natural resources or wealth, to pay for Socialistic distribution to it's own citizens. Fascist Cult of personality worship. Example: NAZI (National Socialist Party) Germany under Adolph Hitler.
5. COMMUNISM = Government of unrelenting Socialism plus Atheism. Government, supposedly chosen by the people, and ruled by the proletariat (Lowest, poorest, labor class) is god. Government worshiped but eventually is destroyed by disillusioned masses and change to some other system. This happens when they run out of nations to conquer and pilage of more wealth to sustain their socialistic, military system. Examples: Soviet Union, North Korea, and China under Mao.
6. CAPITALISM = Government of laws and personal freedom to pursue happiness, success and possessions with no outside help promised but personal opportunity. Capitalism and Free Enterprise therefore result in unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done , personal management of one's resources, time, talent, and discipline.
7. A DYING POLITICAL SYSTEM = (a) Dying Communism and Arising Capitalism or Socialism. Examples: Russia, China, Eastern Europe, Cuba. (b) Dying Capitalism and Arising Socialism/Communism. Example: United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada and Western Europe.
Capitalism and Free Enterprise are dying because our nation and other free nations have turned away from God to greed and materialism. There is more "revival" of Christianity in Russia and China than in America today. If we do not defend our American freedoms and pray for deliverance .... God will not do it for us.
Pass it on. RB
