I don't know... you could believe anything, I'm not a mind reader.

You are the one that quoted

All the believers were together and had everything in common. Acts 2:44

You tell me what you think it means and how that applies to every Christian family across the known world between 33 and 98 CE.

I'm not presenting beliefs, nor am I asking anyone to be a mind reader. I'm presenting the prerequisites Jesus himself required in order to be a disciple. You're just pretending that what is described in the bible is being prescribed while what is prescrited isn't.

No one on this side of the computer screen is suggesting that you need to be a mind reader. I'm simply asking how you imagine all of this stuff that's not there to begin with?

It doesn't apply to any of them if they aren't following his prerequisites. If they are then it does. Pretty simple. The "how" is simple enough; sell everything and give the proceeds to the poor. That means have a garage sale, advertise, and sell everything. Then take the money you acquired from the sale of everything you own and give it to the poor.


This doesn't mean to assume all sorts of nonsense. Don't assume anything. Just assume that these are the prerequisites for becoming a follower of Christ. That's it.

What do you think "the antichrist" is?

I don't understand are you saying the antichrist is Jerusalem, the literal city in the middle East? I can't find the answer to my question in your post.

Read it again. It isn't confusing. I'm very clear to point out the fact that the literal temple in Jerusalem isn't what is in view here.
