out of my world encyclopedia that I posted on my FB for my unsaved friends, the importantness of understanding Torah is for you guys Very Happy

. I just picked out the major parts, because its all bad. But 1st, I want to show you this is a picture of where America is with Adonai. Just skimming through the 365 “Prohibitions” of Torah would take to long to point them out just in the judges category alone for where we are, in Deut 28 for America. Just a few that you would recognize today; Ex 23:1, 8, Lev 19:15, Deut 1:17, 19:11-13, 21, 24:17.

But this is the reason why we are here today with this muslim president & some of his islamic people working under him. We will soon see Deut 28:36, 49-50, 52-57, because America, churches, the government did not observe to do all that is words of the Torah, “G-ds” Law Deut 28:58 & instead through it out. We see sickness all over in the U.S. & the world because of Deut 28:60, because we didn’t listen to G-d in His Torah, Law in Ex 15:26.

Socialism is a religion; it removes G-d & His Ways (Torah) & places man above G-d, sound familiar? tower of babel Gen 11:1-9, just 1 example. We are a lawless society 2 Thess 2, & anti-christ is just around the corner because of all the economic issues in the world Dan 8:25. & through “his” policies, he will rise up & cause craft to “prosper” in his hand; & he shall magnify himself in his heart, & by peace shall destroy MANY!!.

We need to win as many souls as possible people, put away your ridiculous denominational standards & ways. How long will you halt between 2 opinions? If Adonai be G-d, follow Him: but “if” ba’al (false god, ways) then follow him. & the people said not a word 1 Kings 18:21. This is it brothers & sisters, When you “see” these things come to pass, look up for your Redemption (Y’shua, Jesus) draws nigh Luke 21:28. Watch you therefore, & pray always, that you may be worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass (G-ds Judgments on the earth) & to stand before the Son of man, Y’shua HaMachiach, Jesus Christ.

If you don’t know Y’shua, Jesus & you’re not saved by His Everlasting forgiveness & His Love, do it today. Chose you this day whom you will serve Joshua 24:15. 2 Cor 6:2; NOW is the day of salvation. Because we don’t know when our time is up here, our life is but a vapor compared to eternity James 4:14.

The G-d of Heaven Loves you & has made away of escape for you in Y’shua, Jesus. He is the Way, the Truth & the Life John 14:6. Matt 11:26-30; Come unto Me, all you who labor & are heavy laden, & I will give you rest. Take My Yoke upon you & learn of Me; For I Am meek & lowly in heart: & you shall find rest unto your souls. For My Yoke is easy, & My burden is Light.

For G-d so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (Y’shua, Jesus) that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have Everlasting life.

Socialism: is an economic system, a political movement, & social “theory”. Most socialists believe that national or local governments, rather than individuals should own a nations recourses & control their use, (freedoms gone). Socialism calls for public ownership of “land” (Dt 28:33), factories, & other basic means of production.

The idea of “collective ownership” (common ownership) of property dates @ least from the time of ancient “greese”. In the 300’s B.C., the greek philosopher (Col 2:8) plato proposed that a ruling class own everything in common, putting the welfare of the “state” above all personal desires. Since ancient times, a number of groups have had some form of community ownership of property.

The word “socialism” was 1st used in the early 1800’s. At that time, socialism meant opposition to the selfishness that some people thought was the root of any “capitalist”, or “free enterprise”, system. During the early 1800’s , the International Revolution in Western Europe caused severe social problems. For example, many factory owners made their employees work long hours at low pay & under unhealthful conditions. Socialist’s claimed that public ownership or control of productive recourses would assure fairer treatment for all.

Today, socialists disagree on many important points. Some want a strong central government running the economy. Other socialists favor as much “local” control as possible. Still others believe that there should be no government in a socialist society. Some socialists argue that socialism can be achieved only through revolution & violence. Others believe that socialism must come gradually, within the framework of an existing political institutions, (brain washing).

Socialism & Communism
During this stage a communist party is in power in a country, most private property has been eliminated. And the economy is run on the basis of a national production plan. However, the nation is not yet rich enough to give its citizens all the material benefits they need, & the government must “coerce” (force) people to work hard for little reward. In the later stage, the nation will be wealthy enough to satisfy everyone’s economic wants. That stage is communism. Communists “claim” that “coercion” (force) by the government will disappear under communism. (it wont)

Democratic socialists—that is, socialist in non-communist countries—do not accept the communist definition of socialism. Most of them believe in some government “coercion” is necessary because some people “must” be “FORCED” to be good citizens (Deut 28:68, 66). Democratic socialists also favor democratic methods of determining what goods are to be produced.

Goals & Methods of socialism
Socialist “claim” that free enterprise systems are inefficient & wasteful. They “believe” that capitalism leads to such problems as unemployment, poverty, business cycles, & conflicts between workers & the owners of the means of production. To solve these problems, socialists “believe” that the nations wealth must be “distributed” more equally & justly. They strongly “oppose” social inequality & discrimination. Socialists aim for a society based upon “cooperation” & “brotherhood” rather than on “competition” & “self-interest.

Socialist “believe” that a countries recourses should be used according to an overall economic plan formulated by manufactures, “farmers”, workers, & government officials working together. By such planning, socialists “hope” to adjust production to the needs of the people. Although the forces of supply & demand may influence production & prices under the socialist economic plan, many decisions regarding how much to produce & what to change will be made by political authorities.

Socialists disagree over how much wealth should be left in “private” hands & how to deprive the rich of their excess property. Many socialists call for the redistribution of wealth through taxation. The favor laws to help the aged, the unemployed, the disabled & handicapped, widows, dependent children, & other people in need. Many socialists “believe” that the government should also provide “free” education, & “medical” service to EVERYONE & should help all citizens obtain safe & sanitary housing @ rents they can afford.

SOCIALIZATION
In the behavioral sciences, refers to the complex process by which individuals come to learn & perform behavior expected of them by society. Socialization teaches habits, “ideas”, attitudes, & “values”. Behavioral scientists—anthropologists, psychologists, & sociologists—regard socialization as one of the principal ways by which societies perpetuate themselves. Through socialization, culture is transmitted from one generation to the next.

Learning plays an important part in socialization. A person must acquire a wide range of information & skills to participate in the activities of a family, a play group, a school group, a business, or a political system. Besides learning the “rules” & the “values” of society, an individual must “believe” in them & “support” them. On the other hand, people need not to accept all the values & rules of their elders. “Selective” acceptance & rejection account for major changes in social codes. But “total” rejection of earlier standards destroys social organization. Such rejection may have an unfortunate effect on some individuals, because all persons “depend” on “others” (not G-d) to a large degree.

Behavioral scientists study socialization because 3 basic characteristics that are common to all human beings. 1st human beings cannot live unaided & must “depend” entirely on others. 2nd human beings—strictly speaking—do not have “instincts” (were stupid) & “must” learn most behavior necessary for survival. 3rd because people “lack instincts”, they must learn to control their relations with one another by living according to shared values & roles.

The family plays a central role in the socialization of the child. From the family children learn such basic functions as speaking, toilet management, & eating properly. They also learn the basic values, “beliefs”, & goals of the family. Socialization “is” deliberate when individuals are “told” what to do of how to act. But much socialization is unconscious. For example, children learn many basic attitudes & values by observing other people, especially their parents & older brothers or sisters.

In some societies, socialization (brain washing) takes place almost exclusively “in infancy” & early childhood. This occurs in most isolated, nonindustrial societies & in those societies with “rigid” social systems & little change in technology. In modern societies, socialization begins in infancy & continues throughout a person’s life. Other agencies, “especially the school”, have taken over some of the socialization functions of the family. As an individuals advance through successive stages of school, they continue to discard some attributes & roles & take on new ones. Other important elements that influence an individuals social behavior includes friends, & co-workers, “religious institutions”, television, motion pictures, & various kinds of reading material.
