CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY ON CAPITALISM AND KINGDOM OF GOD

Capitalism is Two Class System. Made up of Working Class and Owners of Capital or Means of Production. Workers constitute Majority Class. Whilst Owners of Means of Production are Minority under Capitalism. Capitalists own Means of Production , Distribution and Exchange in Society. They employ and pay labour of Workers. Real Value of Workers' labour is Underpaid by Capitalists. Difference between Real Value of labour and Underpaid labour is Exploitation of Labour. The Difference is pocketed by Capitalists. Capitalists accumulate Wealth by increasing Exploitation of Labour. Whilst Working Class continue to be impoverished. And suffer increasingly misery under Capitalism. Workers expect better wages for better standard of living. Diametrically opposed interests of Two Main Classes creates Class Struggle. Marxist understanding of dialectical development suggests Working Class by their numbers , critical position in Production of Wealth and Just Cause shall be victorious eventually in the Class Struggle. New Socio-Political Economic System shall be born out of demise of Capitalism. New Order/Socialism/Communism under leadership of Working Class will be based on Humane Principle From Each According To Their Ability And To Each According To Their Needs. Production of Commodities will be for need and not for profit. Exploitation which is Sole Moral Evil shall cease to exist. Christianity embodies Teachings of Jesus The Christ. On Sin , Death , Resurrection and Salvation among others. Followers and believers of Lord Jesus , His Sacrificial Death and Resurrection for Atonement of Sin of the World are Christians. Jesus Christ summarized the Whole Commandments Of God into two Laws. Namely a) Worship God with all your Heart and Strength and b) Love your Neighbour As Yourself. Capitalist Exploitation of Labour of Working Class is clear violation of the Law to Love Your Neighbour As Yourself. Exploitation of Labour is Sinful. Sin is transgression of the Law. And Wages Of Sin Is Death. Kingdom Of God is Where God Reigns Majestically With His Angles and Jesus Christ. Sin has no existence in God's Kingdom. Therefore Sinful individuals shall not Enter Kingdom Of God. From above account it is not at all surprising that Master Jesus Taught and Said To His Disciples: "It is easier for a Carmel to psss through the Eye Of Needle than Richman to Enter The Kingdom Of God"
