Bible Question:
Hi!, My name is Vic. And I would like to know if anyone out there can tell me, what the love of god looks like. As it pertains to the body of believers having all things in common, per the book of acts? And how that may or may not apply in our culture? And why or why not? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Vic - You asked, "what does the love of God look like?" Calvary comes to mind here. Tim Moran answered your question about believers having all things in common in a previous post. He wrote: "It is not a command, so the church is under no obligation to follow this practice. People in the early church did lots of things, but unless we are commanded to do likewise, we are under no obligation to do something simply because they did it." I'm sorry to observe this, but you may find that believers posting on SBF have more things NOT in common at times :-( mommapbs |
