It’s Time to Stop ‘Carrying Water’ for Karl Marx and Start Carrying Your Cross for Jesus

The evil demoniac Karl Marx has made his mark! Marx’s expressed desire and goal to “dethrone God” is now being manifested. We are witnessing quite an ironic time in Christendom.

It’s pretty ironic how many “people of faith” are wholly embracing tenets of Marxism while seemingly rejecting the holy embrace of the cross. The demonism of Marxism is subtly replacing the sufficiency of the cross. The foundation of Marxism is atheism.

After considering Marx’s assertions, “Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the sentiment of a heartless world, as it is the spirit of spiritless conditions; it is the opium of the people,” how can people of faith and the church (generally) support any of Marx’s notions and schemes? Taking Marx at his word, he aimed to “dethrone God.” His goal was exactly the same as any demons, so why is the church seduced to confront issues of aggrievement and despair using Marxist ideology instead of the power and authority of the cross?
