We can't steal the property from those who own it and give it to those who do not. That would be sin.
Well said.
"The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common. With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all. There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale, and put them at the feet of the apostles, and they were distributed to each according to need." Acts 4:32-35I am not appealing to anyone but those who have ears to hear. I do find it curious though that when we are attacked from abroad with the use of buildings by religious fanatics killing thousands, we immediately spend billions of dollars sending our young into harms way. Yet when we are attacked from within with the use of buildings by greedy bankers and corporations leaving millions homeless and penniless, it is of no concern. One could be reminded of today's Mass reading.
I know your works; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich and affluent and have no need of anything, and yet do not realize that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may be rich, and white garments to put on so that your shameful nakedness may not be exposed, and buy ointment to smear on your eyes so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and chastise. Be earnest, therefore, and repent. Rev. 3:14-19forgive the confusion and my poetic license... Bro Joe
