If it promoted communism then why do communist nations all hate Christianity? 😂
@UniversalistSon9 Says:
The Bible could be understood as meaning PERSONAL property like your clothes or toothbrush or whatever, private property has to do with land and buildings, under communism all industries would be worker owned and operated not privately owned by some far off billionaires as many are under capitalism.
@JelqKingGooner Says:
Examples of working communism does exist, early china is an example of Communist working together and lifting life expectancy. Humanity thrived off the collective efforts of tribal life and even to a point in early agrarian society.
Even China has more contribution from the state sector than the private sector in GDP.

Yes the Bible does promote communism, SPACE COMMUNISM!!

No, the Bible isn’t promoting Communism.

Socialism. Not Communism. There's a difference.
@MrPanosdal Says:
the communal property described in the acts was not a generalized phenomenon but only applied to the local Church of Jerusalem for two years...after Herod's persecution everyone fled to other areas where they had their properties...this phenomenon is valid today in the monasteries...especially on the holy mountain and the brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchers in old Jerusalem...

Matthew 25:14-30 … parable of talents. The Master didn’t divide the talents equally among all three of them. He gave bigger rewards to those who performed best and took away from those who didn’t work at all.
@The-F.R.E.E.-J. Says:
No, the Bible does not promote communism, however, conventional religion does promote collectivism through the idea that "the body" (see: society) is responsible for others, through our prayer, fasting, giving, etc.
@marcus3457 Says:
The Bible does lay out basics that could be applied in economics without creating a system. Private property is established as Frank said in this video. Contract law is implied in a way because we are commanded to be faithful to our covenants or agreements. Alms, or personal charity, lays out an environment where the poor and disabled can be cared for. The list could go on, but those are just a few examples. Great video.
@JamesRichardWiley Says:
The word "Communism" can be found throughout the Bible. God speaks of it quite frequently from his heavenly dictatorship in space.
Everyone knows that.

Hello, Mr. Turek. I pray that you get to see my comment. Yesterday Kristi Burke posted a video in her channel responding to your "4 reasons why Christianity is true", and I would like you to consider responding back to her. She is really good at exposing reasons on why Christianity cannot be true and how it is rather an indoctrination in the bad sense. I hope you can help. Thank you! God bless!
@danielbuller2548 Says:
Pretty sure Jesus forbade communism when he said render to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. Communism's claims on people are total, and therefore contradict Christianity.

I love to tell people how great communism is *in theory* and watch them react 😂 It's a beautiful idea that has failed every single time anyone has tried to implement it.

Imagine you are a journalist or someone interested in news and someone said to you important discoveries have been made that would help humanity to live better with knowledge. Would you ignore the claim and move on with your life, or run away offended like the devil from holy water?. Or would you attend and listen to the information that may help you take better decisions with more knowledge? I feel I am explaining the obvious and I am not understood. I am suffering the most severe and devastating censorship in history in a social media era for many years and people don't care, no wonder humanity are deceived! I am a poet that writes prose to be understood better. All my work is poetry. Is it possible to understand verse if prose is not understood? I am a psychologist and I want to know what do you understand when I say "to end the war in Ukraine the discovery that atheism is a logical fallacy has to be news". The greatest knowledge of all time, that is going unnoticed, is atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. Should the greatest achievement of all time for which future generations would be grateful be ignored to be destroyed? Should knowledge be destroyed? The war is bad because nobody benefits and everyone gets harmed. A war in any part of the world is like a cancer in any part of the body. Is it asking much or too much to share truthful information that shouldn't be censored in the first place to end the war and save lives? What are humanity waiting for? I hope for God's sake to be understood. I need future generations to know the atheist logical fallacy to rest in peace eternally. I don't know much, but I know what I know, and I have lived long enough to know Nobel Prizes are given to friends and family and people don't care.

@JiraiyaSama86: “Ahhh! Thou shalt not steal. That's a good explanation against it, for sure.”
This is so damn silly. This celestial tyrant says “Thou shall not steal” but he commands his primitive chosen people to steal, plunder, pillage and kill many tribes, but he allows them to take the virgins gracefully
@willievanstraaten1960 Says:
@richardhartley7266” I know communism doesn't support the Bible”
Maybe but the Bible supports communism.
@willievanstraaten1960 Says:
@germanwulf40: “Under a communist government, that type of life is enforced, and if you don't like it, they'll shoot you.”
Do you mean like the thousands of people killed over centuries by the Protestants and the Catholics in their power struggles?
No, maybe the thousands of innocent people burned alive at the stake after being tortured for months to confess that they were witches.
Christianity was crooked, vile, despicable, cruel and dishonest just like the celestial evil god they worship
@willievanstraaten1960 Says:
@germanwulf40: “The bible doesn't promote any political system of any kind”
Maybe not, however for the most part of the CE, at least 14 centuries of politics in Europe it was outright driven by the Christian religion. Christian pops and kings ruled with their biblical-inspired and ‘divine’ appointments, while the populists suffered hardship.
At present the evangelical and other Christian groups, in America, are hard at work to impose their superstitious belief in a celestial tyrant on the rest of the country.

Communism is an attempt by secularism to create a utopian society and the failure is on a grand scale

@The-Mstr-Pook Says:
Also the Bible promises that when God's Kingdom rules over the Earth. Having got rid of all wickedness, ILL health and death.
That people will build their own homes, not build for others to inhabit.
Plant vineyards (grow food) to feed oneself not others.
(Isaiah 65:21-25)
These are paradise promises of self ownership. Contrary to the idea being forced now "you will own nothing and be happy".
So no. The Bible is not an endorsement of Communism in any way.
@stevenbatke2475 Says:
If the bible is mostly “descriptive”, and not “prescriptive”, as you say, then why follow it?
This is a poor argument that can be easily thrown back in your face, every time you deem it “prescriptive”.
@sonofode902 Says:
God inviting not forcing, the different is will, intention, the self direct, sovereignty, imago Dei.
What Communism does is without imago Dei. What the disciples did quoted by the questioner was with imago Dei.
The difference between being willing to share, and being forced to share.
Just like any other, what satan did and does is to forge what God did and does. Make his fake version and claim it as the original.
@nasticanasta Says:
I have to correct people on this all the time, I use the Thou shall not steal and the story of Ananias And Sapphira Acts 5:4 "While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control?"

@gheorghebirca Says:
Thau shell not steal, implies private property? Not necessarily, because people can steal from public property, so this argument doesn’t work.
@einarabelc5 Says:
The answer should be, you wish. Now go back into the hole your crawled from and examine yourself for asking such an atrocity.
Generation issues😂, always looking for His permission to do what they want.
Frank was really weak in this and honestly I'm disappointed at his answer.

Does the church support communism is a ridiculous question? The Communist are atheist. To them there is no God they are enemies of God
@michaeljmartin2094 Says:
Well since Karl Marx was a Satanist, pretty sure the Bible does not promote Communism.
@CaptainFantastic222 Says:
Not sure the Bible promotes any certain political ideology but Jesus no doubt preached socialism and anti capitalism
@helpmaboabb Says:
Wonderful. He knows all the descriptive and prescriptive passages,and rhe differences therein. Who needs these ancient theologians anyway? God bless America.
@TaxingIsThieving Says:
NO
@garytakvorian6204 Says:
"Descriptive vs. prescriptive", beautiful! Need to use that. Later on we find how poor the people at Jerusalem were. Paul was "taking collections". Their idea of selling everything and putting all into one pot was well intentioned, but probably not the best idea. When saints "get blessed" we can and do "go overboard" sometimes. The Lord grants us resources to manage and live off of. What we need is prayerful, well advised discernment, not an overzealous emotional reaction (which is what may have in this episode in Acts).
@logicalatheist1065 Says:
Sorry frank, not enough evidence to be a Christian
@mbgrafix Says:
Indeed all too often, believers conflate descriptive aspects of scripture as prescriptive, and as a result run into all manner of bad theology. One that immediately comes to mind is in Job, wherein one of Job's "friends" spoke of a supposed encounter with a ghost. Some have taken that as Biblical confirmation of ghosts and haunting etc...however, it is just this man's personal anecdote, it is not confirmation of established Biblical doctrine.

@walterdebnam8021 Says:
You also need to consider Ananias and Sapphira. Where the communal living they attempted in order to try and meet everyone's needs had the flaw of human nature. They held back part of what they received for their land which was ok, but lied about it in order to fit in, which had drastic results for them. They weren't required to sell everything, or even give it all.
Also the Church in Jerusalem turned out so poor, that they needed help from other fellowships to survive during difficult periods. And when the first Pilgrims tried it in Plymouth, it turned out badly as well, and they had to go back to private ownership, and then contribute to a fund or stockpile for the community as a whole, and that worked.
Even the locals there, the Indians had a sense of ownership of their land, to protect it.
@larzman651 Says:
Correct words were said here , community not communism.
