Word Vomit part 3

So I'm sitting in my World Civilization class...we're having a debate about if capitalism can survive globalization...

I love when people bring Jesus into their ridiculous arguements...like capitalism is the best from of government...and in the 1000 year reign...bladdy bladdy blah!

"ARE YOU CALLING JESUS A CAPITALIST?!?!"

The homeless man, who didn't have a place to lay his head. The man who took one little boy's bread and fish and multiplied it and fed 500 people?!

And so often Christians think Capitalism is best and Socialism is from hell...I'm not taking either side, I think there are good parts in each...but if you look at what the original church looked like, the Acts Church... "All believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need."

Chew on that.

In a sense, the bible is kinda socialistic. But when Jesus comes to reign, there shouldn't be any form of government because the main reason for a government is for law and order, which ever type it is.

Hey Hannah-Just wondering if someone ( possibly Jeremy Coverdale) could take a photo of Christian being baptized on Sunday for me?????? I am sad I am going to miss it. Thanks Hannah. Love, Cindy

Oh man! Sounds like an interesting class. Random: I came across another idea for your tree. I know the Gafners have a mural, but I am quite loving this :)
