Question:
In Acts 2:45, and 4:32-37, there is the account of the believers being in a community not just in spiritual things, but they also had their possessions in common. Why was that so? Why isn’t that so anymore? If the answer is, because the 190s don’t allow that sort of thing, what’s that say about our being of the world, rather than being pilgrims? Or, is this just not necessary?
Answer:
The two references quoted from Acts show us that there was a pure spiritual condition among the early Christians. But the first part of chapter 5 shows us the beginning of the spiritual corruption among the believers.
