*** Is Christianity a COMMUNISTIC RELIGION?

By: Z'kharYah 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.
