Concur. Read Acts 6 (IIRC) where Peter says to Ananias after discovering he had lied about his donation of the proceeds of his land sale. Peter explicitly says to him “Wasn’t the money YOURS?” Not “wasn’t the money the Lords” or “wasn’t the money ours” or “wasn’t the money mine”. No, he explicitly states the resources were his to do with what he pleased. There is nothing anywhere in the Bible that says the gummint should be the instrument of our acts of charity. This is a lie spread by libtards, the origin of which is (I believe) the “father of lies.”

I concur with what you posted.

Indeed, In the Bible Jesus was never for forced charity or socialism - where the gov’t forces people to give their all or near all to others.

Now, if you have a group of Christians that want to - of their own volition - all agree to pool all their resources together and distribute equally, there is nothing wrong with that and Jesus would not be against it.
