Welcome!
Some people wrongly argue the account of early believers having “all things in common” is somehow evidence the Bible promotes socialism. But a closer look at Scripture reveals something entirely different.
Acts 4:32 states, “And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that any of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.”
Notice that although early believers did share everything, this generosity resulted from believers being of ONE HEART and ONE SOUL. They WILLINGLY shared with each other, motivated by love and NOT by coercion or government mandate.
The Bible tells believers to sacrifice out of love. In contrast, socialism DEMANDS people sacrifice out of fear of financial penalty, imprisonment, or sometimes even execution by the government.
And what are other problems with socialism? We’ll discuss them another time.
