@royal This seems to imply or rely on the thought that there isn't a second coming of Jesus Christ.

  @CharismaticBatman @fu @royal I agree there, no man knows the day or the hour. I guess it comes off more humanistic to me... not so much my first comment. Jesus didn't come for social-economic reform, He came to save the lost from God's wrath, for His glory. This earth will burn away and there will be a new heaven's and new earth. But until then we should expect His return and be good stewards of this earth.

  @fu @jordonr @royal
  I mean, didn't most of the Apostles expect His return in their lifetimes?
  I don't like the thought of His return being that far off, but it's far more palatable to me than the Hal Lindsey "Prophecy Watch" insanity that just keeps going and going and going.......

  @fu And--important to note--this was a voluntary choice. There was no doctrine or practice that required it.

  It seems to have been brief and exceptional even in the "early Church" context. Though I think the early Christians remained more willing to share with one another than their surrounding society, there doesn't seem to be much support for belief that they held a widespread and long lasting socialism.

    Bible Gateway passage: Acts 5:1-11 - New International Version
    
    Ananias and Sapphira - Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet. Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened.
