TBH, you sound like you advocate Lennon's "Imagine". Which I believe will be the Global Anthem for the AC.
Probably not going to be here in the long run with the constant barrage of insults and whacko interpretations of the gospel
While those verses in isolation may suggest a simple form of communal ownership of goods (which is not "communism", by the way!), Peter's question to Ananias in Acts 5:4 refutes that idea. Private ownership of goods was still practiced and affirmed. Paul refutes it further when he asks Timothy to bring him his scrolls (2 Tim 4:13).The verses suggest a primitive communism yet for most Christians that is their worst fear. (Acts 4:32-35)
I read through all of Niki7's posts on this thread, and don't consider a single one "rude" let alone "very rude", so methinks you have a perception problem: anything other than wholehearted embracing of your ideas is offensive to you.You are very rude for someone so reactive.

The early Christians shared and gave generously of their belongings. They did not hold them in common ownership. There is a massive difference.

Entitled millennial snowflakes have the same attitude... and share the same delusional ideas about shared ownership of goods.
Where is that in Scripture?Private ownership arises from a lack of love.

Most definitely the 'God told me to tell you' type
Yawn. If you want to discuss Scripture, I'm in. If you want to engage in childish finger-pointing, I'll just make popcorn and watch the show.Your generation ruined the planet and wants to blame us for having to live the ramifications.
