Mike dismisses the claim that Jesus was a socialist, arguing that caring for the poor is universal and the political question is how to do so, not whether to; he says Jesus' kingdom is a theocracy that no human government can imitate.

Mike briefly says Jesus was not a socialist. He distinguishes caring for the poor (which all political parties should affirm) from the political mechanism by which governments do so. He argues Jesus will establish a theocracy — God reigning in righteousness — which surpasses any human political system including democracy or socialism. He calls current human governments the best approximation for fallen sinners in the absence of Christ’s literal reign.
