This space addresses the most common questions raised by communists, socialists, and materialists when examining the Septuagint (LXX) and Greek New Testament.
Answer: Marx accurately described counterfeit institutional religion—systems where wealthy clergy bless wars, hoard land, and tell poor workers to accept exploitation quietly in exchange for a reward after death.
However, that critique does not apply to Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Jesus the Christ). He openly condemned religious leaders who devoured widows’ houses (Mark 12:40), drove money-changers out of the temple (John 2:15), and launched His mission by declaring “good news to the πτωχοί (poor)” and “ἄφεσις (release) to the captives” (Luke 4:18). Counterfeit religion sedates the oppressed; authentic faith confronts the oppressor.
Answer: Look at the historical track record of every 20th-century state that tried to enforce sharing without changing the human heart (καρδία). When you abolish private landlords by state decree while leaving greed (πλεονεξία) and pride intact inside human beings, the state bureaucracy simply becomes the new landlord.
In Πράξεις (Acts) 5:4, Peter explicitly affirmed that property sharing among believers was voluntary (“While it remained, did it not remain your own?”). Sharing works permanently only when μετάνοια (repentance) and faith in Ἰησοῦς Χριστός uproot selfishness from the inside out.
Answer: Modern Western church culture often defends corporate capitalism, but the Greek Scriptures do the exact opposite:
Hoarding single-family homes while families sleep on the street is directly condemned in Scripture.
Answer: You are commanded not to trust any human institution blindly. 1 Θεσσαλονικεῖς (1 Thessalonians) 5:21 instructs: “πάντα δὲ δοκιμάζετε, τὸ καλὸν κατέχετε” (“Test all things; hold fast to what is good”).
Read the Septuagint (LXX) and the Greek New Testament directly, examine the logic (λόγος), and verify every claim against primary evidence.
