Pastors have no Idea?
Feb 23rd, 2008 by Randy Toman
It is absolutely essential that the citizens of the land understand the difference between a Christian Socialist who has substituted a liberal left wing government for Jesus Christ and the true believer in Jesus Christ. They can both be called a “Christian” but clearly one is true to the teachings of Christ and the other is not.
The Secular Humanist Heathen will not care if the Christian-Socialist helps in their cause. The humanist will always throw a bone every once in a while and never fails to tell the Church what good work they are doing for the cause and the church. The Humanist will never mention the work for Christ, that being the preaching of the Gospel, and the witnessing to lost souls. Those ignorant church workers will all be on an emotional high thinking they are doing gods work and helping themselves get through the pearly gates of Heaven. All the while the Pastor is teaching a theology made up of heresy for which they will answer to Jesus Christ on the day of judgement. And make no mistake about it they will answer for their false teaching and preaching.
I have quote for from Richard S. Wheeler and his book “Pagans in the Pulpit” 1974 and I wish do so again.
Keep in mind that he wrote this back in 1974. He says this on Page 133.
“I believe, in fact, that socialism is a species of idolatry in which the state is the godhead. The various brands of Christian Socialism share a tradition of twisting and torturing Christian doctrine to make it fit their ideological imperatives.”
He goes on to say;
“We are dealing with an effort to portray Jesus as a social revolutionary, a rebel against his society, a leveler, a secular king, a misogynist, an ultra-pacifist, and indeed a pre-communist, when through teaching and example He rejected all of these things.
In short, Christianity and socialism are not cousins, but enemies.”
“ Make no mistake: left-ism is a dogma with as great a hold on its proponents as the sacred doctrines of the church have upon the faithful. So powerful is this secular dogma that it regards any reforms that do not spring from the godhead state as demonic.”
Note we have the word “progressing” used in the part of the material quoted. Could the author have been thinking of “Progressives” and their left ward thinking
“ The Christian Socialist have been astonishingly successful. Among the mainline Protestant churches it is surely the case, that a majority of the faithful, including most of the clergy, believe that intimate ties exist between collectivist and Christian ideas and that the religion is “progressing” toward a saintly socialism. The National and World council of churches are structured squarely on that viewpoint.”
“ Many Pastors earnestly believe that a Christian who opposes state welfare-for example, one of the poverty programs- is guilty of a most heinous sin springing from a frigid heart and wanton selfishness or perhaps from diabolical racism. Only the truly wicked oppose the benefactions of the state! Such clergymen suffer under the most terrible theological delusion of our age, the delusion that substitutes welfare for charity, the state for God, bureaucracy for mercy, and equality for justice.”
— “the state has become God or, at least, that the state is godly when run by liberals. When the state is run by a fallen angel of the right, it is up to congress to protect the kingdom of heaven!”
“ Liberalism is the priesthood of government.”
“The church’s sacredness, its transcendence, and its divinity have all been ruthlessly exploited by the disciples of the left.”
We here in America must start to look carefully at what we think is truth. The Scriptures is the only place that can be trusted to give you that truth and we must be as the men in the Bible in the book of Acts 17:11. Look at it— read it carefully. The Pastors should search the Scriptures because they have no Idea what is the difference between Charity and Welfare—maybe they should read their Bible and learn.
