4 <strong>Liberating</strong> Piunet <strong>Earth</strong> doned his belief in God. In an essay he wrote in 1843, at age 25, Marx said: “Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the sentiment of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.” 2 In that same essay, he argued for humanism, the idea that mankind is the highest form of being– in other words, that man is god. “The criticism of religion ends with the doctrine that nun is tk supreme being for man.” 3 Again, “The emancipation of Germany is only possible in practice if one adopts the point of view of that theory according to which man is the highest being for man.”A (The emphases were his; I have added nothing.) We now know what Marx was: an atheistic humanist. What about Jesus? What did Jesus say about Himself? At His trial before the Jewish leaders, the high priest asked Him: “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” The Jews did not mention the name of God; they used such words as “Blessed” as substitutes. Jesus knew what He was being asked: “Are you the Son of God?” He replied: ‘I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, What further need do we have of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” And they all condemned Him to be worthy of death (Mark 14:61-64). Jesus’ words were blasphemy, unless He really was the Son of God. By Hebrew law, He was worthy of death (Leviticus 24:16), unless He really was the Son of God. By His resurrection from the dead (Matthew 28) and His ascension to heaven (Acts 1:9-11) to stand at the right hand of God (Acts 7:56), He proved that He was what He said He was. He was God walking on earth. He said plainly, “I and My Father are one” (John 10:30). 2. Karl Marx, “Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right: in T. B. Bottomore (cd.), Karl Marx: Ear@ Wrdir.gs (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1964), pp. 43-44. 3. Ibid., p. 52. 4. Ibid., p. 59.
Introdzution 5 Jesus said that belief in Him as the Son of God is a life-anddeath issue. It is an eternal life-and-death issue. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him (John 3:35-36). There can be no compromise here. It is either faith in God or faith in man. It is either Christianity or Marxism. There is no honest and accurate way to put Marxism together with Christianity. These two deeply religious systems are at war with each other. Marx understood this completely. This war will not end until either Christianity perishes — and it will never perish — or Marxism perishes. Anyone who attempts to put these two systems together into one system is either self-deceived or else a conscious agent of the Communists, who is seeking to deceive others. He is either ignorant or evil. Religion as a Tool of Communism The popular religious system known today as liberation theology is an attempt to combine the revolutionary Communism of Karl Marx and the language of certain passages in the Bible that make it sound as if the Bible preaches Communism’s bloody revolution and socialism. This humanistic version of the Bible’s message of liberation never mentions either the divinity of Christ or the perfect humanity of Jesus Christ (which is difTerent from His divinity), or salvation by faith in Christ alone, or the requirement of Christians to obey lawful authorities, or the transforming power of the gospel, or the transforming power of God’s Holy Spirit, or the continuing requirements of God’s law, or God’s covenants with mankind, or the eighth commandment (’You shall not steal”), or the tenth commandment (’You shall not covet”), or dozens of other basic themes in the Bible. The Marxists do not believe in a God who created this world and will bring it to final judgment. They believe only in man. Why, then, have they adopted liberation theology? Three
