Your First Clue --- "Christian Communism"

By Anna Von Reitz

As you have probably noticed by now, our enemies and the enemies of all Mankind, rely heavily on oxymoron(s) and code words and anagrams. They take great pride in this and think it proves their intelligence, especially when people nod and don't call them on their nonsense.

For example, "sovereign citizens" and "attorney generals" and "county district court".

Once you know the meanings of these words, it is blatantly apparent that one cannot be a sovereign and a citizen at the same time, that "shipping clerk general" makes no sense at all, and that any county that is in a district isn't a county.

Those promoting the use of these oxymoron labels are laughing at those who accept and use these fed-to-them contradictions, and, no doubt, they are using them as a basic kind of intelligence test to see how much BS they can get away with. It is the same with "Christian Communism".

The Christians who are promoting Communism are hearkening back to the model of the Early Christian Congregations that formed in the decades immediately after the Crucifixion---- at least, that is their excuse.

These early congregations headed up by the Apostles required that people joining their group donate all their worldly property to the group and submit to the absolute authority of the community elders, who were entrusted with responsibility for divvying things up and meeting the needs of the community as a whole.

They were preparing for what they assumed would be the imminent return of Jesus in the flesh and they were using one incident in his ministry as the basis for their presumptions against private property.

You will recall the young would-be follower who came and asked what more he needed to do to be a disciple and Jesus told him to go and sell all he had and give it to the poor. This, the young man could not bring himself to do for whatever reason, and so went away sorrowful.

In a struggle between the True God and Mammon, the True God must win--- and absent that, you cannot be a follower of Jesus. Why? Because when push comes to shove, you cannot serve Two Masters. Mammon can't even be in the race. As Christians we have to know that Mammon --- money and securities and credit and all the rest --- isn't real. It's idolatry. It is worth nothing compared to the actual living flesh and fruits of the Earth.

All the money in the world can't create as much as a single living human hair.

Christians have to know that little truth and live by it.

But note, giving up everything to the Church and subjecting ourselves to an elite priesthood was never anything Jesus commanded.

This requirement was uttered only once and to one specific would-be disciple, whose ties to Mammon were his stumbling block.

It wasn't that Jesus wanted the would-be disciple's money, for himself or even for the poor. It was that Jesus wanted him to set himself free from his servitude to Mammon, so that he could wholly serve the True God.

This was not a comment against private property in principle, and not an excuse for theft or violation of freewill, either. Jesus didn't command his followers in general to make any such sacrifices. For most of us, such dedication to riches is not an issue to begin with.

Nonetheless, his disciples issued commands in His Name that He never gave.

They made demands He never made.

And judging from the number of errors they were heir to during his ministry, it's not surprising that they continued to get things wrong after his death --- because even with the help of the Holy Spirit, men must listen in order to hear.

So what went astray and was misunderstood a long time ago continues to be a stumbling block today, as people like Pope Francis get confused and think that "Christian Communism" --- the forced surrender of private property to a Theocratic State and its management by an elite --- is justified by scripture (this one incident) and practice (the early Christian groups).

We've seen the fruits of this system already in America.

What Francis and others are missing is the fact that they are violating The Law of Freewill, and that gifts coerced are not gifts at all.

"Christian Communism" uses Christianity as an excuse for thuggery and elitism, both of which are deeply repugnant to the Holy Spirit and the overall teaching of Jesus.

So, once again, as ever when we confront the actual Enemy, deceit and contradiction and evil are the fruits. Falsehood and hypocrisy and self-interest are the signs.

You can see for yourselves what is spewing from the mouths of these people in Washington, DC, and examine the results.

Nancy Pelosi--- what was that you said? You have to pass the bill before you can know what it says?

In a sense, she's right, because the Holy Roman "Congress" passes "laws" they never read, and turn the job of interpreting their nonsense over to completely unaccountable and unelected for-hire agencies.

One agency prepares the bill, the Municipal Congress passes it, and another agency interprets it.

The members of Congress find out the consequences of their Acts when people complain about the way these "laws" are being administered. When enough people complain, they stir their sluggish Martini-drinking rumps to re-examine whatever subsections are causing the problem. That's it.

That's how federal bureaucracy is spawned. This is how your freedom and your pocketbook is chiseled away by lobbyists pushing political agendas and by faceless unionized public employee bureaucrats and political appointees.

This entire circus is presided over by unelected persons working behind the scenes compiling Administrative and Municipal Code, and then ignorantly applying it to you, as if you were a government employee subject to their Code and their limitations.

And if you don't stand up like Tarzan and point out the obvious --- "Me, Employer! You, Employee!" --- who else is going to?

It's the same thing with the Church. You have to defend what is right and true and call horse dung what it is.

Literally.

"Oh, we can steal their health care and profit from it?..."
"Oh, we can force them to accept I.O.U.'s as money?...."
"Oh, we can enfranchise them and use them as collateral?...."
"Oh, we can change the Judge's Oath and politicize their offices?..."
"Oh, we can shuffle off our responsibilities and blame hired agencies if things go wrong?...."

Are you beginning to see why it is important to object to their verbiage and words of art?

Why people like Nancy Pelosi should not be in charge of anything, even if they mean no actual harm?

Why the entire concept of "Christian Communism" is flawed? (Hint: it has to do with honoring Free Will, which we are born with for a reason.)

Why our Forefathers separated Church and State?

How FDR violated that principle?

How we have all suffered as a result?

Good. These are topics and discussions that are long overdue for debate.

I hope you and your family engage them, remembering that Satan is as eager to exploit your virtues (generosity, humility, compassion) as he is to exploit your vices (self-interest, elitism-ego, greed). You can err by going too far in either case.
