Capitalism and Christianity

Capitalism and Christianity gp\o hand in hand. It was Christianity that made America capitalist. Capitalism more follows the commandments than socialism. Two of the commandments forbid stealing and murder. They are crimes in America. They practice them in socialist countries. When Linin came to power, he had the government steal everyone’s food to feed his army while they starved to death. Worldwide socialism has caused the death of hundreds of millions.
Thus saith the LORD, Cursed be the man that trusteth in nan, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Jeremiah 17:5
Compared to God, man is stupid. Capitalism was not planned. The communist planned everything. Stalin would make five year plans of prosperity that never materialized. Planned economies have failed and will always fail

Lenin stole from farmers to feed his army?

Think that might have been Stalin...

China makes five year plans that have panned out well for it... Leading to it being the second largest economy in the world with GDP growth far ahead of Western nations....

I personally know people who have been in China that can attest to that fact. And your brand of Christianity is CINO at best.

There are a dozen churches in my city alone...

And the number of churches is growing by the year all over China...

Were your friends JWs? The Chinese don't recognize them as legitimate because they refuse to recognize nationality...

The local university has a Bible study of over 200 with members from all over the world as well as China...

We have a group of Baptists from Mississippi that visit the university each spring and try to convert students...

Acts 4:32-35 New International Version (NIV)

32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.

Early Christians were socialists. They believed Christ's return was imminent. Acts 4:32-35 New International Version (NIV)

Anarchists?

Did they believe in government?

Mr. Rogers

God sanctioned capitalism when he gave the 12 tribes of Israel their land. The early Christians were communistic because the Jews were persecuting them. They banned together in order to survive. They were united in faith and hope and were later dispersed throughout the uttermost parts of the earth.

How do socialism (amongst a small group who freely volunteer) and the above statement fit in with America today?
