Acts 4:32-35

All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.

Idk this sounds pretty cool to me cross-and-sickle

Yeah, but then there's passages about how to treat your slaves.

Almost as if there's no consistency in a book originally passed down through word of mouth and then elaborated on by a couple dozen authors.

And then they all lived happily ever after. The End.

Boy I sure am glad that the Church never changed from this communist model!

Just 20 centuries of nonstop good vibes and sharing!
