As this article will show the Illuminati was a later organization that’s purpose was to infiltrate Freemasonry and corrupt the Masonic led, Enlightenment period in Europe. With Jewish Illuminism which was given its outward doctrine as the radical Liberal Ideology of the French revolution. The Illuminati infiltrated the French lodges with their money power and agents. And where the force behind the French revolution. The Jacobin’s where the Bolsheviks of yesteryear. This parallels the American revolution which was built upon the original and pure Masonic doctrine. To the French revolution fought upon the corrupted doctrine of Jewish Illuminism. Which became nothing but a way to advance the Jewish agenda of creating their Jew World Order.
As Nietzsche stated about the French revolution and its Liberal ideology as the: “Daughter and continuation of Christianity.”
Today Jewish Illuminism/Communism parades around in the West as Cultural Marxism. [what people call “Political Correctness” without realizing what it really is].
The Jews have worked to bring American down from every angle as its original Masonic doctrine is a major threat to their Jew World Order plans. The Jew by its own confession and actions is the eternal enemy of human freedom:

The original Masonic Enlightenment was a major threat to the kosherpath agenda. As it was replacing the Jewish doctrines of Christianity with the Masonic doctrine of spiritual enlightenment and true freedom. An order based on the Eternal Laws of Nature as the Divine Order of Life. Which the Founders symbolized by the scales of Maat. The symbol of Cosmic Order. We can witness with the Founding Fathers of America the original Masonic Enlightenment . The Masons are from the Templar’s and the Templar’s where from the Druidic, Aristocratic Priest families of Europe. There is a reason the Masons called this movement the “Enlightenment.”
The Templar’s Serpent Tradition:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JoSNewsletter/message/231
As Albert Pike stated the God of the Masons originally is Lucifer. This is important as Lucifer is another spelling of Hu. A major title of the God of the Druidic religion of Europe. The L and H are interchangeable. Lucifer is an ancient title for our God Satan and like the title Satan is based in Sanskrit:
Sat means illuminated or shining and An stands for the serpent. Hence: “Shining Serpent.” With Lucifer the LU is also HU. Which means Shining but the H denotes the serpent. Hence Lucifer as a title comes back to the same: “Shining Serpent.”
As Satan was also worshipped as the God HU also called Wod, Wodan. etc
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JoSNewsletter/message/451
Lucifer represents as Pike stated also the Magnum Opus. Where one becomes Perfected and immortal. Thus obtains all the minor and major Siddhi’s or supernormal powers. This is true freedom, spiritual freedom and liberation from the wheel of suffering and ignorance.
This is the point of the original religion:

The actual Luciferian Masonic society, the American Founders created was centered on spiritual advancement.
The Real American Revolution:

As we can witness President Washington knew about the Illuminati and that they where trying to infiltrate the Masonic orders and movements. And their doctrine was the enemy of the Masonic one they had fought to build America upon:

Mount Vernon, October 24, 1798.
Revd Sir: I have your favor of the 17th. instant before me; and my only motive to trouble you with the receipt of this letter, is to explain, and correct a mistake which I perceive the hurry in which I am obliged, often, to write letters, have led you into.
It was not my intention to doubt that, the Doctrines of the Illuminati, and principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am.
The idea that I meant to convey, was, that I did not believe that the Lodges of Free Masons in this Country had, as Societies, endeavoured to propagate the diabolical tenets of the first, or pernicious principles of the latter (if they are susceptible of separation). That Individuals of them may have done it, or that the founder, or instrument employed to found, the Democratic Societies in the United States, may have had these objects; and actually had a separation of the People from their Government in view, is too evident to be questioned.
My occupations are such, that but little leisure is allowed me to read News Papers, or Books of any kind; the reading of letters, and preparing answers, absorb much of my time.”
On the much framed subject of the Free Masons and the Illuminati here is a brief history of the events that lead to subversion of the Masons by Jewry and the truth of the Illuminati:
Rothschild hired a son of a Jewish Rabbi named Adam Weishaupt to create a pseudo-Masonic looking front- [The Illuminati] and armed him with massive funds and contacts the stage was set.
History records that on May 1, 1776, Dr. Adam Weishaupt founded the Bavarian Order of the ILLUMINATI. Weishaupt was a Professor of Jewish Canon Law at the University of Ingolstadt in Bavaria, Germany. He was born to Jewish parents and later “converted” to Roman Catholicism. He became a high-ranking member of The Order Of The Jesuits, whom he subsequently left to form his very own organization at the clear behest of the newly formed “House Of Rothschild.”
It was the Jewish Weishaupt’s belief that only a chosen few could qualify for enough “illumination” to guide and rule the world. The problem was, where could he find enough intellectual “light bearers” to start the ball rolling? He subsequently found them in various lodges and orders of the day, such as the various Masonic lodges, the Rosicrucian Order and other legitimate and sincere orders of antiquity. This is confirmed yet again by Edith Starr-Miller in her classic, “Occult Theocracy:” “As the organization of the Illuminati developed, so did its ambitions, which ended in a plot to subvert Freemasonry to its aim of world domination by any and all means . After obtaining control of certain Masonic Lodges, Weishaupt and his associates recklessly vaunted their growing power.”
Weishaupt took the name, Spartacus, because, like the Roman warrior, he was dedicated to freeing the [oppressed masses] from the oppression of all monarchies and religious powers, his desire to shake off the yoke of limitation would include not only governments and organized religion, but also the institution of marriage, and even family….
Weishaupt wanted a system of truly global dimensions, even if it brought about violent worldwide revolution and rivers of blood. His “benevolent dictatorship” had six main points dealing with the abolition of:
1.Ordered or nationalistic governments in the form of monarchies.
2.Private property.
3.Inheritance rights.
4.Patriotism to nationalist causes.
5.Social order in families, sexual prohibition laws and all moral codes.
6.All religious disciplines based on faith in a living God, as opposed to faith in nature, man, and reason.
This is almost word-for-word from Karl Marx’s THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO and that these six points are also perfectly consistent with the Protocols in general, [once again proving their legitimacy].
Weishaupt’s vision for a future world was a full-on Communism, with all possessions, even children, held in common.
It is more interesting to learn that Karl Marx was not the real founder of Communist world revolution. Its true father was Adam Weishaupt, founder of the “Freemasonic Order” of the Illuminati- Marschalko
“The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment; let it never appear in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation. None is fitter than the three lowers degrees of Freemasonry; the public is accustomed to it, expects little from it, and therefore takes little notice of it.” – Adam Weishaupt
At its beginning, the Illuminati was not a Masonic order, and Weishaupt himself did not enter a lodge until 1777, when he received induction into the Lodge Theodore de Bon Conseil in Munich. However, once inside Masonry, Weishaupt immediately saw its potential value to be a vehicle for the realization of his Illuminati dreams. To create an official union between the Illuminati and Freemasonry, Weishaupt set about organizing the Congress of Wilhelmsbad at the Castle of William IX of Hesse-Kassel, to occur on July 16, 1782. That special even, which was momentous in both size and aspirations, was attended by elite representatives of Masonic lodges from all over.
It was also there that a decision was reached to allow the previously excluded Jews to be granted admittance into Freemasonry. The Illuminati creed is the origin of radical Liberalism which still plagues us today. Which Comes from Christianity. It’s the same Kosherpath agenda.
As Nietzsche stated about the French revolution and its Liberal ideology as the: “Daughter and continuation of Christianity.”
http://gblt.webs.com/Communism_is_Christianity.htm
However, there was another, tacit reason for the change in Masonic policy towards the Jews, money was needed….And the Jews where the principal bankers of Europe, a role they had assumed since the time of the fall of the Knights Templar. And don’t forget King William IX was in debt at the time, and was in general a psychopathic individual.
When the time came for a vote on their admittance at Wilhelmsbad, the Jews were so anxious to win the day that they completely filled the hall with other Jewish supporters. It was not long afterwards that the Illuminati membership included an abundance of Jewish banking families, including the Rothschilds, the Oppenheimers, the Wertheimers, the Schusters, Speyers, and Sterns.
New lodges of predominantly Jews were formed in Frankfurt the Rothschild’s financial capital in Europe, and soon all of Illumininzed Freemasonry would make the city its world headquarters.
The first order of business for the Illuminati-initiated Jews, who were the was to manifest their prophesied Zion, a world ruled by the chosen people of Yahweh. Plans were set in motion for the Jews to finally have their “land of milk and honey” that had been promised to them for so long [in their own Jew minds] and it would be the entire world.
The opportunity for manifesting their Zion arrived with the Russian Revolution, which was financed by the Jewish bankers. One of their own, the German Jew, Karl Marx, had catalyzed the event with the publication of his Commnunist Manifesto.
Karl Marx who’s real name was Rabbi Mordechai Levi was a member of the League of the Just of which would lead to the creation of the Communist League.
In 1841, Moses Hess, brought Marx into a society called the “League of the Just”
The motto of the League of the Just (Bund der Gerechten) was “All Men are Brothers” and its goals were “the establishment of the Kingdom of God on Earth, based on the ideals of love of one’s neighbor, equality and justice”.
This is the core of Jewish Christianity.
During the decade of the 1840s the word “communist” came into general use to describe those who hailed the left wing of the Jacobin Club of the French Revolution as their ideological forefathers.[My note this is the Illuminati doctrine openly]. This political tendency saw itself as egalitarian heritor’s of the 1795 Conspiracy of Equals headed by Gracchus Babeuf. The sans-culottes of Paris which had decades earlier been the base of support for Babeuf ? artisans, journeymen, and the urban unemployed ? was seen as a potential foundation for a new social system based upon the modern machine production of the day.”
The French thinker Étienne Cabet inspired the imagination with a novel about a utopian society based upon communal machine production-
“Voyage en Icarie” [1839]. The revolutionary Louis Auguste Blanqui argued in favor of an elite organising the overwhelming majority of the population against the “rich,” seizing the government in a coup d’état, and instituting a new egalitarian economic order.”
The Bolshevik leader of the Revolution, Lenin, who on both sides of his family was of Jewish lineage, contributed his plan for a centralized government that would be controlled by a Jewish oligarchy. After Lenin and his Illuminati cohorts raised their flags at the end of the Russian Revolution, their new communist government emerged with Jews occupying at least 75% of its highest positions…And end up with 60 million Gentiles murdered by the Jews, by the time Communism was over. Many of them murdered in an organized system of camps all run by Jewish Commissar’s. Slave Labor in Soviet Russia
The Jewish bankers also took another tact and slowly built up an empire of financial institutions to oversee a capitalistic infrastructure that would govern the world. As one Jewish banker and Illuminati patron, Amshel Rothschild, is known to have famously remarked, “Give me the control of a county’s finances, and I care not who governs the country!”
Which leads to Communism in the end. The Jews hold all wealth and power and the Gentiles are reduced to total slavery to global Jewry’s One World Order.
The nations will gather to pay homage to the people of God: all the fortunes of the nations will pass to the Jewish people, they will march captive behind the Jewish people in chains and will prostrate themselves before them, their kings will bring up their sons, and their princesses will nurse their children. The Jews will command the nations, they will summon peoples whom they do not even know them will hasten to them. The riches of the sea and the wealth of nations will come to the Jews of their own right. “Any people of the Kingdom who will not serve Israel will be destroyed” -Isidore Loeb [Le Litterature des Pauvres dans la Bible].
What were the effects of the subversion of Free Masonry by the Jews, within the organization? Masonry is based upon Judaism. Eliminate the teachings of Judaism from the Masonic Ritual and what is left? – The Jewish Tribune [New York,Oct 28,1927]
“In the present nations, Freemasonry is only of benefit to the Jews” -Theodore Herzl [Founder and Leader of World Zionism]
“We have founded many secret associations, which all work for our purpose, under our orders and our direction. One of the many triumphs of our Freemasonry is that those Gentiles who become members of our Lodges, should never suspect that we are using them to build their own jails, upon whose terraces we shall erect the throne of our universal King of the Jews; and should never know that we are commanding them to forge the chains of their own servility to our future King of the World” -Opening speech made at the B’nai B’rith convention in Paris [published in the Catholic Gazette, Feb 1936]
Here it should be obvious why the Third Reich banned the corrupted Free Masonic organizations within Germany. They are organs of Jewish Communism

Communism’s Christian Roots
http://gblt.webs.com/Communism_is_Christianity.htm
“Christian theology is the grandmother of Bolshevism.”
– Oswald Spengler
“Christianity and communism are very close spiritually and ideologically. This is a fairly well known concept that has been adopted by various thinkers, from Thomas More to Lev Tolstoy. Few people know that the world’s first socialist state was established in Paraguay and was based on the ideas of Catholic Jesuits before Marx created his teachings.”
“The “Society of Jesus” – the Jesuit religious order – in the Catholic Church was roughly equivalent to the KGB in the Soviet Union.”
Above quotes taken from “Pravda” [The main Communist Party Newspaper and leading newspaper of the former Soviet Union] From the article: Is there any difference between Christianity and Communism? 30/04/2013
“American Newspapers claim that Stalin has been preordained to save Christianity.
-Josef Goebbels 1
Communism is not anti-Christian, as is commonly believed:
In addition to this, the Catholic Church in China has over 70 million members and is growing. There is also the Catholic Changchung Cathedral in Communist North Korea; the nominal cathedral of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Pyongyang, North Korea. The Russian Orthodox Church worked hand in hand with the Communist Party in the USSR. The violence against its Clergy during the revolution, was simply to weed out the Czarist elements from its ranks, and nothing more. Stalin openly worked with the Orthodox Church to help the Communist war effort for the Red Army during the second world war. Today in Russia, high ranking Clergy in the Russian Orthodox Church openly advocate a Christian Communist movement within their nation. The Catholic Church also has had a strong hand in the Communistic, Liberation Theology in South America. It’s no mistake Catholic Clergy could traverse the “Iron Curtain” during the cold war with ease.
80 million Bibles printed in China – and counting Link to article from ‘Christianity Today.’
“Ernst Bloch (1885–1977) was a German Marxist philosopher and atheist theologian. Although not a Christian himself, he is said to have “bridged the gap” between Christian communism and the Leninist branch of Marxism. One of Bloch’s major works, the Principle of Hope, contains such declarations as: “Ubi Lenin, ibi Jerusalem” [Where Lenin is, there is Jerusalem] and “the Bolshevist fulfillment of Communism [is part of] the age-old fight for God.” 2
In truth, Christianity prepares the populace to be open to and to accept communism. There is nothing within the Christian doctrines or the teachings of the Nazarene that conflicts with communism in any way. Christianity IS Communism.
•Both programs work to enslave, using terror, brutality, mass murder and coersion. The Catholic Church was the KGB of the Middle Ages, ruling through terror, use of force and mass murder. The Inquisition is a blatant example.
•Both programs prohibit the ownership of private property. Christianity prepares followers on a subliminal level for communism. Christians are indoctrinated to believe that poverty is a virtue. Once this concept takes hold upon one’s subconscious mind, quite often, a serious lack of money is a result and this sometimes even lasts into future lives, speaking from a spiritual perspective. What this does is it also creates a self-perpetuating program, and in turn creates generations of poor. The Christian Churches then appear as helpers of the poor and benefactors, when all along, it was the Christian teachings that created and enforced the problem. The Jew creates the problems and then gives the Jewish version of a damned solution for Gentiles. Click here for an artical econcerning Christian Mind Control
•There is nothing at all spiritual about Christianity. Christianity is a tool for removing spiritual knowledge and powers, and replacing these with meaningless robotic ‘prayers’ corrupted from and repeated in the same fashion as Far Eastern mantras, and endless indoctrination with false teachings aimed to imbed a fictitious status and history of the Jewish people in the minds of Christians, which is nothing spiritual at all. Few if any Christian preachers can diagram the human soul, for example. The removal of and the corruption of spiritual knowledge prepares the populace to accept the atheistic communist state.
•Both Christianity and Communism present themselves as brotherhood programs, promoting equality, prosperity, good will, and a better way of life, but upon closer examination of their real doctrines and histories, this is nothing more than a come-along and beneath the surface, terror, mass murder, torture, forced indoctrination, and keeping the populace ignorant are the bulwark of both of these programs. Any fool who reads the Judeo/Christian Bible can plainly see the endless accounts of mass murder, pillaging, rape, enslavement, and threats of eternal torture and damnation if the doctrines are not taken seriously or adhered to, and above all, how jewhova was a murderous monster who preyed upon Gentiles; no different from the communist programs. For proof of this see “Jehova and Human Blood Sacrifice.” “A Murderer and a Liar from the Beginning.”
“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.”
Luke 19: 27
[Direct quote from Jesus advocating murder]
•”Rebellion” is a definite NO NO and is “of the Devil.”
Christianity also prepares followers for communism in that one is indoctrinated to endure injustice. Nearly everyone has heard the biblical scriptures about turning the other cheek, walking the extra mile, loving one’s enemies and so forth. These teachings work together with communism in destroying the justice system and personal rights. Crime is allowed to get so out of control [as it already has]; that the populace is not only discouraged from fighting back, but if one should defend one’s self, one is often punished for this. What these Jewish programs do, is they set a trap. Most people eventually are more than willing to give up their rights in favor of ultra-strict laws in order to control crime. Both programs prohibit taking any personal action in the way of enforcing justice and place this responsibility in the hands of the state for communism, and in the hands of that so-called “God” for Christianity. Any rebellion or fighting back is a grave offense. The acceptance of abuse and injustice are both very necessary for establishing a slave state. A slave must never try to fight back or rebel in any way. Hate is another taboo in both programs.
A look into Communism’s birth:
Communism was created out of the organization “The League of the Just.” The motto of the League of the Just (“Bund der Gerechten” or “Bund der Gerechtigkeit”) was “All Men are Brothers” and its goals were “the establishment of the Kingdom of God on Earth, based on the ideals of love of one’s neighbor, equality and justice”.
“At a congress held in London in June 1847 the League of the Just merged with members of the Communist Corresponding Committee headed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, adopting a new organizational charter and programme and reconstituting itself as the Communist League.” [3]
This is the basis of the Christian doctrine.
We can trace Communism’s roots back to the radical Liberal ideology in Europe. Which itself is Christianity in disguise. As Nietzsche stated about the French revolution and its Liberal ideology as the: “Daughter and continuation of Christianity.”
This radical, universalist, egalitarian doctrine is at the heart of Christianity, and Liberalism with its stepping off point into Communism. Where Liberalism then morphed into Communism openly:
“During the decade of the 1840s the word “communist” came into general use to describe those who hailed the left wing of the Jacobin Club of the French Revolution as their ideological forefathers. This political tendency saw itself as egalitarian heritors of the 1795 Conspiracy of Equals headed by Gracchus Babeuf. The sans-culottes of Paris which had decades earlier been the base of support for Babeuf — artisans, journeymen, and the urban unemployed — was seen as a potential foundation for a new social system based upon the modern machine production of the day.”
The French thinker Étienne Cabet inspired the imagination with a novel about a utopian society based upon communal machine production- “Voyage en Icarie” [1839]. The revolutionary Louis Auguste Blanqui argued in favor of an elite organising the overwhelming majority of the population against the “rich,” seizing the government in a coup d’état, and instituting a new egalitarian economic order.” 4
A review of the emerging trends from Christianity to Liberalism and into Communism:
Liberalism is Christianity without the Christ
William Gayley Simpson’s Which Way Western Man?
Revilo Oliver:
Quote:
“The other apostates I have mentioned, and many that are now forgotten, together with almost all of the anti-Christians of recent centuries, exemplify the operation of what may be called the law of cultural residues. In all civilized societies, when a long-established and generally accepted belief is found to be incredible, good minds abandon it, but they commonly retain derivative beliefs that were originally deduced from the creed they have rejected and logically must depend on it. Thus it happened that modern enemies of Christianity rejected the mythology, but uncritically retained faith in the social and ethical superstitions derived from it — a faith which they oddly call rational but hold with a religious fervor.”
“They laugh at the silly story about Adam and his spare rib, but they continue to believe in a “human race” descended from a single pair of ancestors and hence in a “brotherhood of man.” They speak of “all mankind,” giving to the term an unctuous and mystic meaning with which they do not invest corresponding terms, such as “all marsupials” or “all ungulates.” They prate about the “rights of man,” although a moment’s thought should suffice to show that, in the absence of a decree from a supernatural monarch, there can be no rights other than those which the citizens of a stable and homogeneous society have, by covenant or established custom, bestowed on themselves; and that while the citizens may show kindness to aliens, slaves, and dogs, such beings obviously can have no rights.”
“They do not believe that one-third of a god became incarnate in the most squalid region on earth to associate with illiterate peasants, harangue the rabble of a barbarian race, and magically exalt the ignorant and uncouth to “make folly of the wisdom of this world,” so that “the last shall be first” — that they do not believe, but they cling to the morbid hatred of superiority that makes Christians dote on whatever is lowly, inferior, irrational, debased, deformed, and degenerate.”
“They gabble about the ‘sanctity of human life’ — especially the vilest forms of it — without reflecting that it takes a god creator to make something sacred. And they frantically agitate for a universal “equality” that can be attained only by reducing all human beings to the level of the lowest, evidently unaware that they are merely echoing the Christians’ oft-expressed yearning to become sheep (the most stupid of all mammals) herded by a good shepherd, which is implicit in all the tales of the New Testament, although most bluntly expressed in another gospel, which reports Jesus as promising that after he has tortured and butchered the more civilized populations of the earth, there will be a Resurrection, and his ovine pets will pop out of their graves, all of the same age, all of the same sex, all of the same stature, and all having indistinguishable features, so that they will be as identical as the bees in a swarm.”
“Although the “Liberal” and Marxist cults have doctrinal differences as great as those that separate Lutherans from Baptists, they are basically the same superstition, and whether or not we should call them religions depends on whether we restrict the word to belief in supernatural persons or extend it to include all forms of blind faith based on emotional excitement instead of observed facts and reason. When those “atheistic” cults scream out their hatred of “Fascists” and “Nazis,” they obviously must believe that those wicked persons are possessed of the Devil and should therefore be converted or exterminated to promote holiness and love. And when they see “racists,” who impiously substitute fact and reason for unthinking faith in approved fairy stories, their lust to extirpate evil is as great as that of the Christian mob that dragged the fair and too intelligent Hypatia from her carriage and lovingly used oyster shells to scrape the flesh from her bones while she was still alive.”
“With very few exceptions, the anti-Christians, no doubt unwittingly, retained in their minds a large part of Christian doctrine, and they even revived the most poisonous elements of the primitive Bolshevism of Antiquity, which had been attenuated or held in abeyance by the established churches in the great days of Christendom. And today, professed atheists do not think it odd that, on all social questions, they are in substantial agreement with the howling dervishes and evangelical shamans who, subsidized with lavish publicity by the Organized Jewry who control the boob-tubes and other means of communication, greedily participate in the current drive to reduce Americans to total imbecility with every kind of irrational hoax.”
“Christian theology is the grandmother of Bolshevism.”
— Oswald Spengler
We can witness this statement with the open banner of Christian Communism:
“Christian communists seek to achieve large-scale social change, however. Some believe that, rather than attempting to transform the politics and economics of an entire country, Christians should instead establish communism at a local or regional level only.”
The Latin American branch of Christian Communist Liberation Theology, according to theologians such as Leonardo Boff; is rooted in the concept that “prudence is the understanding of situations of radical crisis”. Among Christian Communists, Historical Materialism is utilised as a methodology of analysis to define the nature of the crisis in question as a product of political-economic dynamics and modalities derived from the workings of what is termed “the late capitalist/imperialist mode of production”. According to this subset of Liberation Theology, the challenge for the Christian Communist is then to define what it means (in context of “a concrete analysis of the concrete social reality”), to affirm a “preferential option for the poor and oppressed” as Praxis (active theory),and as commanded by an ethics allegedly “rooted in the beatidic teachings of Jesus”.
Christian Communist Liberation Theology is not about evangelization per se, but rather about developing an Orthopraxis (ethical action; The condition of coming to the light by doing the works of God), that aims to reconcile the “Beatidic Ethics” of Jesus, as expoused in the Sermon on the Mount; with existing social struggles against what is termed “neo-colonialism” or “Late Capitalism”. Both Christian Communism and Liberation Theology stress “orthopraxis” over “orthodoxy”. A narrative of the nature of contemporary social struggles is developed via “materialist analysis” utilising historiographic concepts developed by Karl Marx. A concrete example are the Paraguayan Sin Tierra (landless) movement, who engage in direct land seizures and the establishment of socialized agricultural cooperative production in asentamientos. The contemporary Paraguayan Sin Tierra operate in a very similar manner as that of the reformation era Diggers. For Camilo Torres (the founder of the Colombian guerrilla group E.L.N.), developing this Orthopraxis meant celebrating the Catholic Eucharist only among those engaged in armed struggle against the army of the Colombian state, while fighting alongside them.
Christian communists hold the Biblical verses in Acts 2 and 4 as evidence that the first Christians lived in a communist society. Thomas Wharton Collens’ Preaching is a good description of biblical sources being used with the goal of a common-property society; Prof. José P. Miranda, “Comunismo en la Biblia” (1981), translated as, “Communism in the Bible” (Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 1982).
But, in addition, they also cite numerous other Biblical passages which, in their view, support the idea that communism is the most ethical social system and that it is inescapably constitutive of the kingdom of God on earth. The most often quoted of these Biblical citations are taken from the three synoptic Gospels, which describe the life and ministry of Jesus.
One of Jesus’ most famous remarks regarding the wealthy can be found in Matthew 19:16–24 (the same event is also described in Mark 10:17–25 and Luke 18:18–25, and the metaphor of a camel going through the eye of a needle is common to both Matthew and Luke).
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Jesus also described “money changers” (i.e. those engaged in currency exchange) as “thieves” and chased them out of the Temple in Jerusalem. This is described in Matthew 21:12–14, Mark 11:15, and John 2:14–16.
In addition, communistic attitudes and implications can be found in Leviticus 25:35–38: Most significantly, this is part of the Law of Moses, and as such is commandment rather than exhortation or airing of opinion. This fact bears heavily upon subsequent discussion of the question of compulsory or voluntary relinquishing of riches, either as a possible entry requirement to Christian grace or as a means of achieving divine intentions for human social order. 5
