Those @can” be a threat but there are so many wealthy Anabaptists within a little over an hour from me, are they guilty? They surely are secure and comfortable as well. No I disagree with you that communism socialism and Islam are not as much of a threat when you see people asleep to their threats.
Why didn't the Scriptures warn us about those things but quite strongly warn us about wealth?
Scripture does warn us about those things in many ways- look at communist countries that do not allow Christian’s worship? When Russia turned communist look how many millions of Christians were killed. China? Just look at the harm socialism has caused in other countries.
Naturally warnings of Islam & Sharia law were not specifically warned about in the Bible as it didn’t exist yet but certainly there are warnings of false religion and heresy and also against what Sharia law enforces.
Warnings of wealth as of what it “can” but not necessarily do.
this was obviously the cause.
Please present verses to support a specific government or economic model.
Monarchy, Democracy, Dictatorship, Communism, so on
I'm only familiar with Capitalism and Socialism so there might be others. Please define any other system if you argue from Scripture for it.
Please limit it to posting your views and not arguing on it. Views have to have verse references to support.

Seriously?
Communism is atheism. How many Scriptures do you need to support not favoring atheism?
Islam is a false religion. Terrorism. Killing Christians. How many Scriptures do you need to convince you that there’s reason to not want it to dominate a country?
Socialism vs freedom not necessarily capitalism.
I’d need time to work on “that” concern which I may or may not feel is a worthy use of time. Younger people in politics and liberals are slowly going that direction
Are you able to provide any supporting evidence for any positive government choice or are you just going to take the conversation off topic? Please limit your anti-government/economic model to a different thread.
I am not endorsing any of these governments or economic models.
