Yisra'El
Definition of COMMUNISM ***
Merriam-Webster Online
Dictionary
1 a : a theory advocating elimination of private
property.
b : a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to
all as needed.
Let's
start with Acts,
Chapter 2
Acts 2
41:
Then they that gladly received his word were
baptized:
and the same day there were added unto them
about three thousand souls.
About THREE THOUSAND new
Christians
in ONE day.
42:
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles'
doctrine and fellowship,
and in breaking of bread, and
in prayers.
43:
And fear came upon every soul:
and many wonders and
signs were done by the apostles.
44:
And all that believed were together, and had all
things common;
ALL things common. **
COMMUNISM
45:
And sold their possessions and goods, and parted
them to all men, as every man had need.
"sold their possessions and
goods, and parted them to ALL men as every man had need".
Verse 45 is
the Definition of
COMMUNISM
1 a : a theory advocating elimination of private
property.
b : a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to
all as needed.
46:
And they, continuing daily with ONE ACCORD in the
temple, and breaking bread from house to house,
did
eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
*** with ONE ACCORD.
Acts 4
31:
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken
where they were assembled together;
and they were all
filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of
God with boldness.
32:
And the multitude of them that believed were of one
heart and of one soul:
neither said any of them that
ought of the things which he possessed was his own;
but they had all things common.
"ought of the
things which he possessed was his own; but they had all
things common".
ALL things common. **
COMMUNISM
33:
And with great power gave the apostles witness of
the resurrection of the Lord Jesus:
and great grace
was upon them all.
34:
Neither was there any among them that lacked:
for
as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold
them,
and brought the prices of the things that were
sold,
"as many as were possessors
of lands
or houses sold them."
That is the Definition
of COMMUNISM
35:
And laid them down at the apostles' feet:
and distribution was made unto every man according as
he had need.
"Distribution was made unto
every man
ACCORDING AS HE HAD NEED".
That is the Definition of
COMMUNISM
b : a system in which goods are owned in common and
are available to all as needed.
Let's keep reading verses 36
and 37.
36:
And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed
Barnabas,
(which is, being interpreted, The son of
consolation,)
a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
37:
Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and
laid it at the apostles' feet.
Notice here, in verse 37
above, what
Joses did...
SOLD his land.
You see, they ALL BROUGHT
the MONEY,
and LAID it
at the APOSTLES' feet.
Again, The Definition of
COMMUNISM
1 a : a theory advocating elimination of private property.
But, what will happen if a
Christian
tries to hold
back some of the money and don't lay (ALL) of it at
the apostles' feet?
See Acts chapter 5 verses
1-11 below
and we'll see
what happens.
Acts 5
1:
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his
wife, sold a possession,
2:
And kept back part of the price, his wife also being
privy to it,
and brought a certain part, and laid it
at the apostles' feet.
See, they kept back some of
the
money for themselves.
3:
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine
heart to lie to the Holy Ghost,
and to keep back part
of the price of the land?
4:
Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after
it was sold, was it not in thine own power?
why hast
thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men,
but unto God.
Peter ask Ananias, "was the
land
yours before you sold it?" Yes, it was. But, "after you sold the
land was it
still yours?" No, it wasn't.
Remember, the
Definition of
COMMUNISM is; "ALL things common."
You see, keeping back part
of the
price, and NOT
laying ALL of it at the apostles' feet, makes you a liar to the Holy
Ghost and to God.
There is only ONE way to
deal with THESE TYPES of Christians.....
Keep reading:
5:
And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave
up the ghost:
and great fear came on all them that
heard these things.
See, he automatically
Died.
(gave up the ghost). The
Holy Ghost killed
Ananias for
keeping back
some of the money.
6:
And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried
him out, and buried him.
7:
And it was about the space of three hours after,
when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
Now, his wife comes in 3
hours
later, not knowing they just killed her husband: Check out what happens next.
8:
And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold
the land for so much?
And she said, Yea, for so much.
9:
Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have
agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord?
behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband
are at the door,
and shall carry thee out.
10:
Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and
yielded up the ghost:
and the young men came in, and
found her dead, and,
carrying her forth, buried her by
her husband.
See, she also, automatically
Died. (gave up the ghost). You see, The Holy Ghost
killed
Ananias' wife,
Sapphira, for also, keeping
some of the money.
Check verse 11
11:
And great fear came upon all the church, and upon
as many as heard these things.
Now, the whole church is
afraid.
You see, Ananias, and
Sapphira, his
wife, LOST
THEIR LIVES when they kept just SOME of the money
from the
land they sold.
That is the
Definition of
COMMUNISM
1 a : a theory advocating elimination of private property.
HalleluYAH ( Praise the
mighty YAH)
YAH is Righteous!
Shalom.
