    Stephen Collins on Acts 2 - 12 years ago
    I frequently wonder, especially when confronted by "fundamentalist" (i.e., conservative) commentators who explicitly endorse capitalism as a God-given good, why I have never heard any of them respond to the obvious celebration of what can only be called "socialism" in verses 44-45. The KJV translation is very nearly paraphrased by Karl Marx's "from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs," although subsequent translations have softened this a little. I'm certainly not a fan of communism (especially how it has played out in real life), but this passage would certainly seem to mute the endorsement of free-market capitalism as the economic translation of Christianity.
    "Amen!"   Report
