Originally posted by mikewhitney View PostWith Ananias and Saphira, we learn they did not have to sell their land and throw all the money into the Christian community. They did not have to participate in this. By contrast, socialism is forced confiscation of property. If you want to claim that the Bible teaches voluntary socialism, then we are talking about something different from government policies.

And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.
Acts 2:44-45 NASB

Do you know what socialism is? A system where everybody holds all of their property in common. Whether you like socialism or not, Acts 2:44-45 describes a socialist system.
I already know that you don't like what Acts 2:44-45 says, and I already told you that I don't care what you think.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostSure...
You said Scripture aligns with socialism then quoted Acts 2 as an example, correct? Well Acts 2 isn't socialism, which is what we have been arguing with you. Do you want to now claim you don't think Acts 2 is socialism?
What a bunch of jerks, You should be ashamed of yourselves.

The question that you have not answered is whether you think that Acts 2 endorses governmental forced taking and redistribution of people's property.
