Dear Editor:
Christian definition: Christlike, or followers of Christ.
God said in a booming voice to some apostles in Matthew 17:5, “This is My Son listen to him.” And Jesus said to all in Matthew 25:31-46, “You do to these, You do to Me.”
Now we find that, through the Republican administration led by Donald Trump, Jesus is put in cages on our southern border, food is being hampered to him by restrictions of food program policies by this Trump administration and medical is also trying to be restricted or denied policies trying to be implemented by this Trump administration. Christianity starts with what Peter and other apostles said on the day of Pentecost, Acts 2:38 and in Mark 1:5, “Believe, repent and be baptized.” And then in Ephesians 5:1-7, “Let no one deceive you.”
In Ephesians 6:13-18, we are instructed to put on the armor of God and the Christian’s calling is in Colossians 3:5-17. God seems to be very unhappy with those he talks about in Romans 1:28-32.
If you just read that, does any of it sound familiar to what we have been witnessing? Christians study to show yourselves approved. Read II Timothy 3:1-17 and 4:1-5.
Christians BEWARE of wolves in sheep clothing (Matthew 10:16-18). BE AWARE ALL PEOPLE.
Socialism definition: It CANNOT exist without democracy, meaning programs put in place by democratic means and paid for with tax money supplied by the people and paid out to workers or participants of the program, such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Department of Transportation, police departments, prisons, libraries, and all the military. And the list goes on and on with socialist democratic programs which this United States started with and has used to this day. It rejects every form of imperialism and fights the oppression or exploitation of any people, urges the strengthening of trade unions and consumer organizations and the democratic association of the workers with the directors of industry.
If a totalitarian or dictator should try to infuse themselves as supreme head over this type of government by some people or groups or even appointing themselves, it is no longer a social democracy but a dictator communist organization. Point to ponder — RUSSIA.
Thank you for considering these comments.
