The disciples ask all their followers to sell their houses and all their possessions and give the disciples the money...The book then claims they divided up the money equally and provded for everyone equally.

UGH SO MUCH MENTAL GYMNASTICS in this thread just to justify people's corporate greed.
You don't have to like it, but if you can't get over it, then you're definitely not a Christian, because the red letters weren't important enough for you to read and comprehend them.
Go ahead, cope harder. This shouldn't even be contraversal, and it's really sad anyone thinks it's a valid debate.
He WAS. You don't want him to be, because you're greedy, but he WAS.

"The meek shall inherit the earth".
Conflate me that, dear wealthy Evangelicals?
No, it's not a word splitting argument. Having humility is good spiritual advice for all people.

This is going to be a long thread when we keep splitting the wordlettuce.
So meek means rich and a commune doesn't imply communism. Good talk!

Why focus on the woman who fed and clothed Jesus when he needed it?
You could focus on Acts chapter 5.
Why? Because it sounds like "migdal." However, it also sounds like "Magija Dalina" or Magdalina, or the town in which they practice mag-dalinimas, or Magdala.

A quick search would seem to suggest that the naming of Mary Magdalene and the city of Magdala is not directly linked to an old Persian word.
Apparently the name "Magdala" is associated with the Aramaic word "migdal," which means "tower" or "fortress."

Ah , Communism is an Atheistic Belief as in " There is no God " . So.............>/
The rich young man in Matthew 19 was asking how to obtain eternal life and was told to keep the commandments. So it must be enough.

What about "Sell everything you have and give the money to the poor."?
