Does that mean its no longer in Gods design, because men dont do it?

Yes, really. We are not speaking of other issues, just what you brought up. Please don't divert the subject.
There is no directive that this was some rule given to them. They were free to do what they wanted as is seen in the case with Ananias & Saphira (sp?). Just as people were free to give or not give to the needy in Jerusalem who lived elsewhere.
Jesus never told them to do this and the apostles never told believers to do it. If people wish to do it, and some do, that is totally up to them.
