Bible Question: Can we take the community of goods practiced by the early Christians as a precendent for today? |
Bible Answer: Is there something in the Scripture that changes that "precedent"? I wonder if we might be better off looking at and judging our culture from the light of Scripture rather than the other way round. It is so easy to get the cart before the horse. There is hope that this fulfilling life can be realized at this time. I am part of a group that is doing it and thriving. Would love to tell you more. |
