When it comes to wealth, God clearly favors equality |
This same phrase is used to describe the sharing of goods in Acts 2, associated with the founding of a new community of a Jewish Jubilee in which there were "no poor among them."
Then's there's the forever "new heaven and new earth" where God finally rules supreme, and where all hunger, thirst and poverty are wiped away and all are blessed alike. To me that looks like an ultimate form of God-ordered socialism.
And here on earth, families are God-ordained units that, as representations of heaven on earth, have everyone producing according to their ability and everyone receiving according to their need.
Shouldn't the church seek to be that kind of God-governed outpost, demonstrating what it looks like when God's will is being done here on earth as it is in heaven?
See II Corinthians 8:13-15.

And there's the part where Jesus finished his Luke 4 mission statement with a "declaration of the year of the Lord," code for the fiftieth Jubilee year. Time is ripe for pastors to speak up.
