Not to be a trouble maker, but y’all do know that the early church did live communally, right?
Acts4:
[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.
[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,
[35] And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
[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.
Of course, in fairness, right after these words, we get the story of Annais and Saphira in chapter 5. In this story, Peter makes it quite clear that the decision to give of one’s goods was completely voluntary.
You don't see the difference between a small community of belivers, and forced giving through taxes?
Another community of believers, the Plymouth colony, failed dismally in about two years.
Also noteworthy is an absolute lack of commandment to do so in the word. Not to be a trouble maker? Hmmmmmm
