Christianity or Communism
Christianity and Communism are opposing ideologies.
Communism denies the foundation facte of Christianity.

: Communism Is also built upon the idea man is a
machine, that his make up is completely describable In
terms of the laws of chemistry and physics. Communism
avers man has no soul, no significant individual value
and no continuity of life. Christianity Is built upon the
fact that man has a soul and that soul is of great value.
Jesus said, "What is a man profited, if he shall gair
the whole world and lose his own soul?" (Matt. 16:26)
Christians believe God is, that God has spoken, tha'
his word is truth, than man has a soul of great valu
and that there is life beyond the grave. Communisrr
denies these fundamental teachings. No one can be
lieve in Christ and embrace Communism without deny
ing the foundation truths of the word of God. (We in

Communist he must first
eenounce his faith in God. Commu
nism denies the existence of God.
Communism is godless materialism,
at the very foundation of which is
the idea there is no God. Christianity
is based upon the fact God is! John
is anti-christ, that denieth
and the Son." (Jno. 2:22).
In denying God, Communism simul
taneously denies every virtue that
originates with God. Communism
denies an absolute standard of truth
and righteousness. Christianity has an
absolute standard of truth, the word
of God (Jno. 17:17). .
