Sharing our lives, resources, and belongings in a spirit of brotherly love. That's my opinion.

And that I believe is what they were doing. Obviously it does not mean to convey that everyone sold their homes and moved into one house. Then how would they be able to meet house to house?

But those who had excess....sold houses and lands. The rich distributing to the poor. Those who had something extra giving to those who had need.

Altho it must be balanced by the Spirits admonition that "if any man will not work neither shall he eat" 2 Thess 3:11.
