The first "Commune" was organized by Jesus' followers
right after the Pentecost (read the book of Acts).
Everyone pooled their resources. Communism is a holy
idea, but it cannot succeed without God as its administrator.
Remember Ananias & Saphira?

The Founders were correct.

It wasn't a true commune because Peter told them, "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."

In Communism, as you said, everything is owned by everyone. What the first church did was just X-treme Giving. A & S wanted to get credit for X-treme giving but not wanting to make the sacrifice. Peter told them...It's your property, and your money. Why hold back some and lie saying you gave everything?

On that note, how many of us claim to give everything to GOd, yet we hold back somethign for our selves? I got three fingers pointing back at me. Praise God for His mercy!
