44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
nowhere past acts 8????? what kind of argument is that???? i suppose we can throw out the gospels and the entire old testament also. what a farce and a phony. is socialism in the bible or not? yes or no?
individuals in a secular government could be agents in the kingdom of god bringing justice, salvation and wholeness in the here and now, not the afterlife.
