Why do I say that? Because of the first scripture reading. It was from Acts 4:32-35:
“Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. With great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.”
You say, “That validates Communism and gives it credence.”
Well nothing could be farther from the truth. This experience was nothing like what Russia experienced in the early twentieth century. Firstly, it was a voluntary association, not forced upon the disciples by any government. Secondly, it was a group of a few hundred souls and not a national tyranny of control that the disciples enjoyed.
