How should Christians react to an election that they think may be fraudulent, regardless of who they support? How should we treat those who disagree with us politically? Despite the political upheaval, what will, thankfully, never change in the Christian’s life?
Frank addresses those questions and then offers a short primer on economics which shows why socialism doesn’t work— in fact, it can’t work because it misdiagnoses human nature and economics 101. Young people especially need to listen to this.

As a christian I disagree with the anti socialism claim, it has worked. While I disagree with anti religious policies of them, the soviets achieved things I thought were impossible
George Worley
If the story Yeshua is true then he was a socialist.
Judas was the keeper of the common purse (John 12:4-6). I know non-biblical Christian Apologetics try to twist this around to mean something that isn't in the original Koine Greek text.
"… for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And, when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’ " (Matthew 25:35-40)
The feeding of the 5000 (Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-15)
One of the reasons that Christianity spread so fast was the love for everybody it a first century CE Christian saw someone in need they fulfilled that need not asking for anything in return. There were even occupations that newly converted Christians could not have so the community saw to it that they weren't homeless, hungry, or naked. This is the very definition of socialism.

We see who the real "snowflakes" are, it's the right-wing QAnon people, threatening violence because your supreme leader lost a fair election. The only fraud was committed by the Republicans, not Democrats. Even after all the dirty tricks and voter suppression, the people of this nation ousted a wicked man and his wicked crime family. You people believe you have secret knowledge and deny any truth that exposes your iniquity. I'm tired of pulling punches and watching you wicked people spread propaganda and hatred. Let truth and justice wash over all of you like a crushing tidal wave.
As for your hardened hearts I leave you with this: "But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?" (1 John 3:17)

Worker's unions, weekends, social security, co-ops, the Fire/Search and Rescue Department, free public education, historical preservation, and FDR's New Deal that millions of boomers greatly benefitted from are fundamentally forms of socialism.
These tiny droplets of socialism in America stop corporations from owning you, and when someone brings up universal healthcare, free post-secondary education, or taxing the rich more you get called a commie.

so i will disagree with the minimum wage argument here it needs to be at a level people can live

Even if you’re not atheist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc don’t ever fall for socialism, it’s literally the dumbest trap ever

its never been positive for Trump since day 1 of vote counting. I'm not an american but I have been following the vote map on all news even before the first time Trump announced that he won.

i wonder what smoke is he talking about…

Spot on frank. Great stuff

America Church has never came to the aid of People in need (generally speaking ,not all ). Like the Jewish leader of the past they did nothing when Slavery started, they did nothing when segregation . When African Americans, women, etc were considered 3/5 of a person they said and did nothing. During the civil Rights movement they wouldnt aide that campaign. So much so that MLK had to Write his famous "letter from a Birmingham jail" to The America church asking who is there god. Fast forward here we are again. We wouldnt need a "Black lives matter " organization if the church had taken to pleas of The black Community serious.

I love this ministry. I love this podcast. Keep up the good work. God bless.

It doesn't matter that it will never work. It is upon us the same as the mark of the beast which will be through FORCED vaccinations. The Church is avoiding this like the "plague ."

Governments, by their nature, are coercive expropriating territorial monopolies. All of them–even the "private" governments of monarchies–are socialist.
Only anarchists can be capitalists. Only anarchism is morally proper. And only the Austrian school properly shows the problems of socialism from an economic standpoint.
capnumericka
I will say that Youre wrong about one thing Frank. Basic right from wrong morally is written in our hearts and that the existence of God is written in our hearts. So yes you should expect these people to agree with you. They are just denying what is true because they don’t want any judgment or judge over their immoral lives.

Socialism always seems to end up back at feudal warlordism.
Cherryl Hansen
I especially enjoyed this one! I'm going to try to share on fb. We'll see what happens! Carry on dear brother!

Aaaa I think Democracy didn't work, this time..
Zerihun Alemayehu
Thanks, I enjoyed this session. I'm illiterate on the many 'ism's, but my question is, how do you see the systems that seem to be working fine in Europe and Canada? At least we shouldn't worry about health care and education. Which are really the top burdens in the USA. Do common system mean always poor quality? Look at Europe and Canada. Can't we have a hybrid system? Thanks again!

funny that Jesus was a socialist
bobby lee
This is real talk
Michael Flores
Jesus lived under Feudalism, which is basically socialism. Capitalism is less than 300 years old.

I get always told by a Communist girl that Cuba actually made communism work
Joyel Scaria
I am sorry to say that you have confused Communism with Socialism, Frank. In fact, the Bible clearly articulates socialist values. Let me list down a few for your readers benefit:
Galatians 6:2 ESV
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
2 Corinthians 8:13-15 ESV
For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened, but that as a matter of fairness your abundance at the present time should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be fairness. As it is written, “Whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack.”
Luke 3:11 ESV
And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.”
1 John 3:17 ESV
But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?
Proverbs 28:8
Whoever multiplies his wealth by interest and profit gathers it for him who is generous to the poor.
Leviticus 25:35-38 ESV
“If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you. Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God, that your brother may live beside you. You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

you can vote in socialism but you have to shoot your way out

Capitalist freedom doesn't work neither. You cant allow a wicked
humanity to chose their leaders and expect some crumbs of salvation.
This is a lesson for Christians expecting a political savior.
Hendrik VanHeeswijck
OMG you have no idea what socialism is! From the point of socialism, the left wing democrats are still right wing!

With mainstream propaganda and the socialists working together to bamboozle the people, it’s clear that we’re going to find out about socialism first hand soon enough. This is a spiritual battle. The powers that be are appealing to people’s sins to convince them to vote (and cheat) for their own destruction.

"Giving the onrs in need" Is this a capitalistic statement?

I usually find longer videos to be a waste of time but that wasn’t the case with this. As a young person nearing my 20s, I learned a lot from this radio broadcast. May God continue to bless the Cross Examined ministry.
