Definitions:

* Property is any resource monopolized by force or threats thereto.
* The owner of a property is the person or group which credibly threatens or actually executes the greatest force with respect to that resource.
* Claiming property is the act of issuing a threat or executing force in a bid to monopolize a resource and thus become its owner.
Note: unclaimed resources are not property under this definition.

It is to be noted that in claiming a resource as property, a would-be owner is necessarily making a bid to control the behavior of all others with respect to the resource, and need not make any change to the claimed property at all, or even to have seen it. Thus it is not resources, but people which are necessarily being forcibly controlled by property claims.

The foundation of our social order is property, as defined above. That is to say our social order is founded upon naught but force and threats with respect to the resources of the Earth.

What we are now seeing is a cold war – a war waged by words to polarize people into teams, currently forming along racial lines, and to make one’s enemies seem evil and therefore deserving of the fate one wishes them to suffer. This is being done in preparation for a hot war – a war waged by the sword to eliminate competitors and change ownership of the resources of the Earth. And since owners monopolize resources through force or threat thereof, those would-be owners who threaten or execute force against the current owners are playing the same game as the owners, with the same goal: to monopolize resources through force and threats for their own pleasure and gain.

Jesus is real, and He is the Christ, the Son of God, and has all power in heaven and on Earth. He offers us the sole alternative to rule by threats and force and will protect those who will believe His words and do what He says. See Luke 6:20-49, and Matthew chapters 5 through 7, inclusive, for what He has taught all humanity to do. Those who wish to survive the coming maelstrom would be well advised to execute His words as they are written, and appeal in mighty prayer to Him to shield them from the storm.

I agree that following Jesus' words as written is the best way to survive the coming storm.

Why not include Matthew 6 to your list, since it specifically touches on greed and the root of all the worlds problems. It also give a way out for those that put their faith in God and God alone. In particular, read Matthew 6:22-33.

Read this part with the mindset of obeying Jesus exactly as He said it, then you will see the power that God gives to survive this coming tribulation.

In peace

I included Matthew 6 where I said "Matthew chapters 5 through 7, inclusive.

However, sometimes it helps to be explicit.

The Lord commands:

Give to every one that asks (Luke 6:30; Matthew 5:42).

Lend to all comers (Luke 6:35; Matthew 5:42).

If anyone takes your stuff, do not tell them they cannot take more (Luke 6:29).

Do not ask for your stuff back from anyone who takes it (Luke 6:30), which includes what you lend out.

If anyone sues you, let them have what they are suing you for without a fight (Matthew 5:40).

Do not store for yourself anything that can be corrupted or that can be stolen in this world, but instead give it to the poor (Matthew 6:19-21), which is how you build up for yourself treasure in heaven (Luke 18:22; Matthew 19:21; Mark 10:21).

And so on, as can be seen in the Gospels, in particular, Luke 6:20-49, Matthew 5, Matthew 6, and Matthew 7.

If we love the Lord Jesus Christ, we will do as He commands (John 14:15; John 14:21; John 14:23).
