A Review of, “Karl Marx, And The Satanic Roots Of Communism” by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand.

I’ve been alive long enough to have come to the conclusions that Marxism/Communism is satanic. I arrived at this conclusion due to the fact that Communism does not allow for a power more authoritative than the dictator, state, or politburo. Communism rejects the truth that God has created every man equally human, with all that entails, even their human rights. Under Communism the politburo is more than equal, and subjugates everyone else underneath them. You have no God given rights under the satanic system of Communism. I was curious what Wurmbrand’s insights would be. He experienced the literal torture of Communism first hand during the Communist revolution in his homeland Romania. He and his wife, were thrown into a gulag/prison work camp for 14 years. He was tortured on a daily basis. Eventually he, and his wife were released. They were never the same after that. Wurmbrand studied the writings, and correspondence, of Marx, and other prominent Communists after his release. Like I mentioned above, I understood that Communism was satanic, but I had no idea how fundamental satanism is to Communism, and those who fought to impose it.

I assumed Marx was a satanist ignorantly so by what he stood against, and was simply a fool seeking an impossible goal, and that he was willing to kill as many people as it took to achieve it. I was wrong. Marx was a satanist first. Communism was just a means to an end for him, and those like him. This book made that abundantly clear. Wurmbrand uses many citations from Marx, and his contemporaries. Some of the things these men wrote are so blasphemous, I had to skim through them as they afflicted my conscience sorely. I would warn you that this could also be your experience reading this book, but I find it necessary to know how blatantly satanic Communism, and Marx’s writings are.

Marx wrote, “I wish to avenge myself from the One who rules above.”

Here is an excerpt from the book,

“Let us remember that Marx’s ideal was to descend into the abyss of hell and draw all mankind in after him. Let us not follow him on this vicious path, but rather follow Jesus Christ who leads us upward to peaks of light, wisdom, and love, toward a heaven of unspeakable glory.”

This excerpt was at the end of the book recalling a citation from one of Marx’s writings. He wanted to have as many people die without hearing the gospel. He said something to the effect that he would go into hell laughing after them. Lenin, and Stalin, were also monsters. I encourage you to read this book, and share it with friends in the Church who are tempted to lean into socialism, communism, and warn them strongly.

I am glad to say that the gospel is shared towards the end of the book, so if you do share this book with someone who is curious, they will also get the gospel message. I hope you will take the short time this148 pages require to be forewarned.

  1. Hi Bob, Love the shirt… okay now for the Big ? Can you help me find the following Bible:

    I am looking for a very special Bible and cannot seem to locate anything even close. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in this regards. What I am looking for is a unique, premium study Bible with all the bells and whistles.

    Here is a list of the must have and additionally desired features:

    Minimum Features:
    KJV
    Red Letter
    Smyth-sewn
    Full Calves or other Premium Leather, top quality bound
    3/4 – Full Yapp
    10.5-11.5 Pt Text Anything smaller limits use to young/excellent eyesight ( 11.5-12 would be perfect for us older eyes )
    Cross References
    MINIMUM 36 GSM European paper (anything less = ghosting/bleed through & tears)
    Study Bible (Bio’s for each Book, Timelines, Commentary, Concordance, Dictionary, index, applicable Maps/charts/tables ( weights/measurements )) A “One Stop Shop” true Study Bible
    Gilded edges
    Thumb indexed

    Plus any of these additional features would be awesome:
    SINGLE COLUMN/PARAGRAPH STYLE ( with cross references towards the binding ) This is the easiest form of text to read.
    2-3 Ribbons
    Margins sized capable of small notes ( ½” to ¾” )
    Commentary (Cambridge, MacArthur, Scofield or maybe Matthew Henry) ??? This text could obviously be a tad smaller, but NLT 10pt

    Simple “HOLY BIBLE” centered on front, and spine, with KJV on base of spine.

    In Black or even preferred the Natural Color of the leather.

    Yes, it will be a slightly larger Bible, and require an XL Bible Carrier; however, it would be an AWESOME Study Bible. It would be a cherished Heirloom, passed down and greatly favored by the majority of Christians. And think of the nice options of carriers specifically made for this Bible that could be offered.

    I have an OLD KJV Life Application Study Bible that I would have loved to have had rebound; however, it is a glued, non- Smyth-sewn book with thin pages and small print… so unfortunately that’s a no go.

    And since I stubbornly want what I want, I will continue looking.

    I would be willing to bet that this Bible would sell a lot of copies and would recommend that if you were print them, use only KJV, NKJV or the OLDER NASB

    Please find someone to produce this Bible… I am begging you, please… this is my great pearl!

    Again, Thank you for your time and efforts on this matter.

    1. Unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of pull with any publishers. I never have. The Bible you are looking for isn’t among the ones that are in print these days. I used to do what you are doing. I wanted to find, “the perfect Bible” for me. That is what go me started doing reviews. After doing many reviews, it became apparent to me that I needed to have a stack of no less than 3 editions. I purchased an LSB John MacArthur Study Bible, a thinline double column for portability, and a larger print text Bible that was single column, verse format for using at a pulpit. I think you might have to do something of the sort. I did find some R.L. Allan KJV Bibles that had almost everything you were looking for except the commentary notes. You can look at those at http://www.evangelicalbibles.com
