Faulty premise. Except for Matthew, the disciples weren’t wealthy. Middle class at best. Second, why would God only require “rich” people to give away everything, and not the working or middle class followers? So, what’s the cut off? Show me a scripture that says “anything under this amount is considered an acceptable standard of living, but you have to give away anything over that.” No need to walk by faith, you can just put your trust in God’s version of the universal basic income. God requires full and complete surrender of each person’s ALL. That’s all their being, all their time, all their future, and all their possessions. Surrender doesn’t mean give it away, it means let God use it and control it as He directs. So many Christians fail to realize Christ’s command is about obedience, not poverty.

The comments on this thread read like no one read the article and only quickly came to a judgement based on the title
