Does the Bible Teach Socialism/Communism? (Part 1)
People often find in the Bible what they want to find. Supporters of socialism misuse passages like Acts 2:44-45, which teach voluntary giving, to support their system.

In this lesson, we will look at the identity of God as revealed in scripture. He is 1) The Eternal One, 2) The Creator, 3) The Redeemer. Each should understand who God is in relationship to the creation and our salvation and to impress upon each one the sovereignty and divinity of God.

Rev.15-16 show God’s complete judgment on the creation. We note that God’s Judgment of Wrath Is: 1) Not for the Victorious, 2) Holy, 3) Executed Perfectly, 4) Complete and Affects the Whole Creation, 5) Blasphemed by the Impenitent, 6) Unexpected, 7) Without Refuge. Each will understand how Rev.15-16 present the characteristics of God’s judgment. I want to help all see how Revelation 15-16 is relevant today.
As we read through Genesis chapter one, it is clear that God intended His creation to act according to His purposes. In other words, it is not humanity that defines purposes, but God.

God rested on the seventh day because His work was finished (Genesis 2:1-3). He set aside a day of rest as an example so man could rest also.
Jesus was a "man of sorrows" (Isaiah 53:1-3) because 1) He Lived as a Servant, 2) Many Rejected Him, 3) The Innocent Bore Our Sins. Each person should know why.
An overview of God's home (Genesis 1:26-28): 1) Its Origins, 2) Its Design, 3) Its Responsibilities, 4) Its Functions. Each person should know his role in the home.
