Part 1 of a 2 part series. At issue is the growth in interest in Democratic Socialism.
"The democratic party is no longer recognizable as the party of Kennedy, or even Bill Clinton for that matter" - a variation of this quote is often stated from those that are NOT a member of the Democratic Party. Members of the DNC disagree with this statement, however, I've been around and paid attention long enough to see a vast difference between the DNC of 2021 to the DNC of the 1990s or even the early 2000's.
Scriptures that are used to support socialism lean very heavily on those that discuss actions for the poor and love of our brothers and neighbors. In opposition, scriptures that discuss capitalism lean very heavily on talents, performance, and trade while also being very critical of those that are lazy or the husband that fails to take care of his family. What I noticed missing, somewhat abstractly, were components of God given rights and freedom as ordained by God. When we consider biblical morality when it comes to our God given rights and freedom, the argument against Socialism becomes very clear while support for a free market economy (Capitalism) is also very clear – to me anyway. Socialism is fundamentally at odds with the Christian worldview and seeks to suppress all peoples in support of the state.
The biblical worldview implies that since God is the creator of all that exists, He ultimately is the rightful owner of all that exists. Whatever possessions a human has is temporary and is ultimately accountable to God for how he uses them. The biblical worldview also contains claims about human rights and liberties. Human beings have certain natural rights inherent in their created nature and have certain moral obligations to respect the rights of others.
