Pastor: Do Champions of Socialism Realize That Karl Marx Held a Deep Belief in God?
The Epoch Times ^ | November 1, 2021 | JAN JEKIELEK AND MELANIE SUN

"Karl Marx, the father of scientific socialism, once wrote that he knew he was born to God but was chosen for hell, author and radio host Dr. David Jeremiah said of many of the 'aha! moments' he experienced in his year-long study of socialism, during which he read everything he could find on the ideology, including what motivated Marx in his ideological writings.

"'People don’t realize that Marx’s socialist theories are all based on a fundamental belief in the existence of God, but a hatred and opposition to everything God has taught', Dr. Jeremiah said.

“'You know, socialists don’t believe that there is no God—they’re not atheists', he told Epoch TV’s 'American Thought Leaders'. 'They’re anti-God.' (Full on-camera interview on EpochTV coming in a few days).

“'In fact, Karl Marx … was a cheerleader for the devil', he explained of his research, which he said has given him a new way of viewing trends in news and social policy that he believes....

Dr. Paul Kengor also has great information about this topic, and if I'm not mistaken, Dennis Prager has written on it. A one-minute persusal of communiststats.com gives quick perspective to anybody in need of a quick education on the evils of socialism.

You can believe in God all you want. The issue is what image do you use to create Him in your mind.

Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Daniel Ortega, Pope Francis all Jesuit educated just to name “a few.” Jesuits are socialist-communist.

Socialism is inspired by Satan and exists to bring down Christ’s church and enslave humanity.

Similar to what I’m thinking. If someone says, “You’ll die if you walk off that cliff” and you “believe” them do you walk off the cliff anyway?

Jim Jones was a Marxist who masqueraded as a “Man of God”.

Wes Cecil of YouTube has an interesting webcast on Marx:

Dr. Cecil does a pretty good job on his study of philosophers in history. His presentations are thorough but concise.

I figure the first thought these chumps have, when waking up in the lake of fire 🔥 is how in the hell am I going to endure this forever. It’s mind boggling.

Satan himself has a deep belief in God. Satan is not an atheist.

Satan also believes in God. Pointing out that Marx believed in God will not cause socialists and communists to think about anything at all.

Absolutely true. A mystery for eternity. He was in the very presence of God. What possessed him, to think he could take over for God?

Karl Marx liked free trade because it was destructive and would hasten the revolution. Sounds like a lot of Republicans...

Excellent commentary. In fact, Satan was created by God as a tool for a specific mission - for the purpose of giving all of us free will, I believe. Without the offer of a choice, and no free will, God would have created a species of mindless robots. Unfortunately, too many of us choose poorly, and do not seek the Spirit of God, which is offered freely.

The scary thing is to blank out all images you think you have of God and ask him instead, to form his real image. via his son Jesus Christ, inside of you...and no peaking unless he wants you to see that image inside of you! What we will and do see of Christ comes from his workings in others who have also made the same request of God!

Scary...but necessary. No idols even mental ones! You’ll know he’s there.

Socialism, communism, marxisms of all flavors, etc. are all branches Satan’s religion for the world.

He, Satan, knows which poisons work best on us and continuously “improves” his mix for the moment.

He and we know from Romans 1:18-31 that there are:

Three Steps to Human Destruction

1. Willful Self-Determination
2. Wicked Self-Deception
3. Woeful Self-Destruction

Satan’s religions get us to remove God’s rules, standards and references so that we decide for ourselves what is right and wrong.

Then Satan just encourages us, kicks back and enjoys the show.

We’ll be too full of ourselves to stop ourselves and why would we?

We took the hilltop deal and now we own the world.

Well, not all of “we” will own the world if “they” have their way.

Most of us will be like serfs to “they”, our feudal lords, who believe they own the world and will tell us what to think, be and do, while we all wait for His Return or their destruction … whichever comes first.
