Sanders spoke at Reid Chapel AME and sought to link his campaign and the scriptures by focusing primarily on the need for “justice.”

There is tremendous arrogance in a politician sitting in an office and deciding that the Golden Rule entitles him to steal from Peter to pay Paul because the politician believes that Paul just ought to have more.

The Bible is not a book about economics. It’s a book about doing God’s will. Taking Peters stuff isn’t one of the commandments.

As a communist, he lives by a different Golden Rule: “He who has the gold, rules.”

And he wants the government to have all the gold.

The democrats new talking points on a booming economy, greed. So now we should hate prosperity. Got it. That should be an easy sell.

That must have been something to see! An atheist secular Jew, trying to warm up a church full of black Christians. (Oh, I know...just like most churches, some of them are pretend Christians). But still...

It’s funny how people who think they know scripture use it only to backfire on them when they don’t know what they’re talking about.

But they were attempting to govern as a theocracy, weren’t they? I know the 1st century Christians sold their goods, and “they held everything in common”, but that was because many of them were in hiding. Even so, he who won’t work, doesn’t eat, was the rule there.

When Bernie addresses a black church audience does he quote scripture to explain why he and his fellow liberals situate their abortion clinics in black neighborhoods or why they herd black students into union controlled cesspools masquerading as schools?

Those of Sanders’ ilk smugly tell us G-D is dead and call Jesus an imaginary friend who’s father is a non existent invisible sky daddy. Until their needed for their agendas THEN G-D is real and Jesus is a cool dude. Jesus was a socialist, they’ll say. Two can play at that game, the real Jesus ordered the Temple destroyed, the moneychangers were stashing AR15s in the basement. Yeah yeah that’s the ticket!

This is at least the third or fourth separate Dem in the last two days to try this tactic; it has to be part of an organized effort by the Dems/MSM machine to religionshame Christians into thinking that they have to become socialists, or they won’t make Jesus happy.

Mark 12:17b Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.

Commies like Sanders want people to put government first. That would be rendering to Caesar what belongs to God. Marxism desires control of the individual; Christianity emphasizes free will of the individual to choose to follow God. Christianity and Marxism, of the light or heavy varieties, mix like oil and water - completely incompatible. That he tries to convince people otherwise demonstrates what a liar he truly is.
