Pastor: Do Champions of Socialism Realize That Karl Marx Held a Deep Belief in God?

November 2, 2021



Believe that Marx had so much free time on his hands, that he fantasized about having even more time and free things

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 EpochTV'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," ... Dr. Jeremiah, a pastor and founder of Turning Point Radio and  Television Ministries...

You can't be anti-God and still not believe in God

The culture of canceling everything you don't agree with has bred the  roots of totalitarianism in American society, Dr. Jeremiah warned. He listed various negative trends, like parents being told that they  shouldn't have any say over the content taught in schools, Republicans  and Democrats not being able to agree to disagree, and Christians being  fired from their workplaces for sharing their faith, as examples of how  Marx's socialist ideas are eroding unity among people. Censorship of ideas is not what Dr. Jeremiah grew up with in America, but has become normal social behavior in 2021.  "There's nothing that is really true that should be afraid of challenge," Dr. Jeremiah challenged... So all the stuff that's going on right now is interesting to me in light of  that discussion, because ... most of it is lies." In his book, Dr. Jeremiah describes socialism as "a deadly virus  [that] is quietly spreading throughout our nation—far more lethal than  COVID-19."  But he warned that "most Americans are totally unaware of the threat that it poses to our way of life."... "I wrote  about the tearing down of monuments ... Completely  obliterate history so you can write a new one..."

"Get rid of the things people hold dear, destroy the things that are  at the core of who they are as people—their family, their church, their  marriage—and then come into that vacuum, and bring all of this rottenness called socialism. And if people understand that, it makes them aware," he said. "We need to have an awareness of this because it's deadly. It will destroy everything. "Venezuela is a perfect picture of where we're headed if we don't  stop this. ... not long ago,  Venezuela was the richest country in that part of the world. "One of his [Marx's] key phrases was to wipe God out of heaven and  capitalists off the earth. That was his two-fold program," he said. ... young people between 18 and 25—I think  60-some percent of them—think socialism is cool, more than  anything else because of all the free stuff they get promised in the  process.

I can't find one good story that ends right because socialism  is evil, and it takes people down, it doesn't lift them up

"It leaves them empty," he said of what often happens when socialism takes hold of a person's psyche. "It takes them to a place where they don't want to go, and they don't realize it on the journey. ... "Sometimes, they like to cite passages in the Bible, like in the book of Acts where they all held things together. But that wasn't socialism; that was just a bunch of Christians sharing what they had during a tough time. "There is no biblical basis whatsoever for socialism, either in the  Old Testament or in the New Testament ... because socialism is totally at  the opposite end of the spectrum from what it means to be a God-fearing  person,"...
