Doesn’t sound like communism to me.
Yep - even though they knew they were carrying the most valuable message ever, they understood that they should not expect to be given room and board w/o earning their way.
2 The 3:10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.
Will is important because it is the refusal to work. I agree with you, sounds like the opposite of communism. We have infinite social programs, welfare, free rent, free heat, free health care, ebt, rewards for producing bastards.
