NEWS: On Sunday (March 21) there is supposed to be a vote on "ObamaCare." What those who support or oppose say about socialized medicine is secondary to what God says about socialism.
In Acts. 4:32 it says "And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common." Here Christians are practicing socialism/communism. Later, in Romans 15:26 it says, "For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem." The Apostle Paul was sent to try help those who practiced socialism because it brought them to poverty.
In His Word, God here shows that Socialism is destructive to a society. We also see in the parable of the talents that God does not give to everyone in an equal amount. Matthew 25:15 "And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability." The parable goes on to say in verse 21 that the one who went out and made a profit was told "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." Here we see again how capitalism is a Biblical principle.
Another Biblical principle violated if ObamaCare passes, is that taxpayers will be funding abortions in the U.S. for the first time ever.
In contrast to Bible teaching, the current administration is attempting to force socialism upon us, have us pay for abortions, and seeking to punish those who dare make a profit. For this reason (among many others too numerous to mention here) I urge all Christians to take a stand against "ObamaCare."

3) Most importantly: PRAY - PRAY - PRAY. It is all but out of our hands now, but it is not out of HIS hands.
