Sacred Duty - Marxism
1 Chronicles 12: 22 …men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do…
Romans 13: 1 (NLT) Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.

John 3: 18 - 21 (ESV) …this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”
9. The life goals of Karl Marx: dethrone God & destroy capitalism
10. By ACCIDENT, MAN is THE real god.
“The last vestige of a Creator external to the world has been obliterated.” ~ Friedrich Engels
“The turning point of history will be the moment man becomes aware the only God of man is man himself.” ~ Ludwig Feuerbach
Matthew 23: 12 (ESV) Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
“Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the sentiment of the heartless world, as it is the spirit of spiritless conditions. It is the opium of the people.” ~ Karl Marx
Isaiah 3: 14 & 15 (NLT) The Lord comes forward to pronounce judgment on the elders and rulers of his people: “You have ruined Israel, my vineyard. Your houses are filled with things stolen from the poor. 15 How dare you crush my people, grinding the faces of the poor into the dust?” demands the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
James 5: 1 (NLT) Look here, you rich people: Weep and groan with anguish because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you. 2 Your wealth is rotting away, and your fine clothes are moth-eaten rags. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. The very wealth you were counting on will eat away your flesh like fire. This corroded treasure you have hoarded will testify against you on the day of judgment. 4 For listen! Hear the cries of the field workers whom you have cheated of their pay. The cries of those who harvest your fields have reached the ears of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 5 You have spent your years on earth in luxury, satisfying your every desire. You have fattened yourselves for the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and killed innocent people, who do not resist you.
Ephesians 5:11 (ESV) Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
We hate Christians and Christianity. Even the best of them must be considered our worst enemies. They preach love of one’s neighbor and mercy, which is contrary to our principles. Christian love is an obstacle to the development of the Revolution. Down with love or our neighbor! What we want is hate…Only then can we conquer the universe. ~ Anatole Lunarcharsky, Russian Commissar of Education
