From Folly to Folly

From Folly to Folly
Communism arose from rebellion against the oppression of the tyranny of a group of people who persecute and steal and murder others for their own gain and power. The enemy of souls is good at setting up divisions and then murdering whatever side doesn't follow his mayhem. The names really do not matter...Egypt...Babylon...Ottoman Empire...Rome...British imperialism/colonialism...etc
The fact remains that tyrants hate God, His People, His Law, His Church. All totalitarian systems are demonic in nature.  'You shall know them by their fruits.'

Jesus said the serpent was a liar and murderer and deceiver from the beginning.  That has not changed.

Liberation Theology is heresy because it rewrites Scripture in Marxist Communist terms. It is that old serpent again making God's Word 'slippery'..."He didn't really say that, did He?'... Well, in fact, yes He did and does.  The Christian is to leave everything and follow Him to bring the Good News.  Liberation theology seeks to rewrite what that 'Good News' is.  It is the veritable fox in the chicken coop.

It seeks to replace the Gift of Redemption bought on the Cross with liberation through rebellion.  God sent His Son to lead us to repentance not social liberation.  When we repent, are forgiven, receive God's Holy Spirit, are sent out according to His Will, then the true Good News is propagated.  Yes, we are to remain poor before him, but we are not pervert that to serve our own ends.

Liberation Theology arose because the people of God's Church weren't faithful.  When we die and face the Lord Jesus Christ He will ask us about what we--each of us--individually--did or did not DO when the poor, the sick, the dying, the widow, the prisoner...came before 'each of us'.  We judge ourselves in how we treat our spouses, our children, our family members, and our neighbors according to God's precepts not our own.

The Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy are not, never were, never will be, 'liberation theology' which seeks to promote the illusory 'utopia' of socialist marxism.  If you disagree then go to every socialist country from Britain, Russia, China, North Korea, the countries of South America, Cuba...and LOOK...

          I ask one question of each of those countries:  'How's that working out for you?'

Marxism is a false parody of Christianity.  Its social arm, marxist liberation theology, is devastating to the poor of every type.  It is, as Marx said, the 'captivity of the dimensions of alienation'.  It takes the poor, mockingly, holds out carrots for awhile, just long enough to 'hook them', and then vacuums them dry to the bone of everything.  In Cuba, for example, the young are fed the ad nauseum, then the free sex leads to rape, multiple abortion and insane asylums that tell you that you aren't crazy for hating such a demonic ravaging of innocence and goodness.  However, they tell you that you are crazy for loving God and so tthe victims of this demonic system cannot know of His Love, His Forgiveness, His Providence, His Healing, and His Redemption.

You can bake a cake, put icing on it, decorate it but if even one drop of poison remains, eating it will destroy you.

    Jeremiah went into the temple, stripped the fancy curtains hiding the idols worshipped by the king and the high priest, and prophesied of their doom at the hands of the Babylonians.  Even then the leaders did not want to 'give up' their own power....prestige...money...  In the end Israel lost it all.

Might try Deuteronomy 18 too.

As today, unofficially since 1969, is the Feast of the Precious Blood....
“You know that you were redeemed from the vain manner of life handed down from your fathers, not with perishable things as silver or gold but with the Precious Blood of Christ as the Lamb without blemish and without spot.” - 1 Peter
