Was Jesus a socialist? Well the Bible says that Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords so Jesus is sovereign, not socialist.

00:11

But in Acts chapter 4 we see at the beginning of the church that those who believed were of one heart and soul and no one said that any of the things that belong to him was his own but they had everything in common.

00:21

There was not a needy person among them they gave their lands and their goods and the proceeds were distributed to those in need

00:27

See? Socialism! No, socialism isn't freely giving, it's forcefully taking

00:33

A socialist government believes the state has a duty to take what rightfully belongs to one person and give it to another that's called stealing.

00:40

God was very clear about where thieves will go whether one person does it or ten million people vote for the elected officials who do it it's still theft.

00:48

That was not the early church where no one was taking from their neighbor they were giving to their neighbor. Brothers and sisters in Christ gave as much or as little as they wanted not reluctantly or under compulsion.

00:59

Nothing was being taken by any authority and the money wasn't being misused like by killing babies and calling it health care.

Socialism costs everyone. Just because socialists say they want to give to the poor doesn't make it good

01:11

Judas wanted to take Mary's expensive ointment and give the proceeds to the poor because he was a thief who cared only about himself.

01:18

Mary gave freely to the Lord and she was commended Our sovereign King has distributed freely.
