it's been honest yes but not everyone wants to talk about an unwelcome event lol.

But now that's its in open shouldn't you be addressing what is the true Gospel
The true Gospel is Galatians which is the earliest text of the new testament and tells us not to accept anything else.

We have not followed it.

Yes, we pretend to own what God has provided us and then take pride in handing it to another in need of it...

It is better to share what God has provided than become slaves to those who exploit it.
My only point is that God has given things to people individually to be stewards over, not groups.

Acts 4:32-35 already talks against possessiveness...

There are many statements against greed such as Matthew 6:24 (Mammon here is the God of wealth)

Selfishness is spoken against as a quality of the flesh that the Spirit is apposed to.

It's actually all over the place if you look.
You claimed that private ownership arises from a lack of love. The verses you cite don’t support your claim, so my question stands: where does Scripture teach that private ownership arises from a lack of love?

You started the attacks but now you're the snowflake... hypocrite.
I’m not being a snowflake at all. I’m just not going to waste time discussing your silly accusations.

Your own positions show a level of callousness that comes from the absence of God.

From my perspective that is the basis of all silliness.

God supports personal ownership. One of the commandments is meant to protect such..:)

Positions? Let’s get to discussing your claim… if you can provide Scripture to support it.

Ephesians 2:11-22 directly asserts that in Christ the Jewish commandments are dropped.

Galatians is a whole text on the matter, Hebrews 7:1-28 continues the theme, as does 2 Corinthians 3:1-18, along with Romans 13:9-10.

For me your statement is anti Christ.

No matter how much evil the Catholic church commits they justify it all by pointing at their charity.

They have caused the reason it's necessary.
… and here I thought you wanted to discuss Christian practice, not Catholic practice.

To emphasize that look at Mark 2:24-28 and 3:1-6

In the first he is claiming authority over the sabbath and he will be questioned about this later.

In the second he breaks the sabbath and in the NIV translation it is clear the Pharisee want to uphold Exodus 31:15 and kill him.

Now, if we are still upholding the law, and every sect I know of is, then how are we on Christ's side?

It is there across Christianity, the baptist movement is proving to have the same sexual issues as the Catholics for instance...

There is a basic issue with how things are understood today.

Jesus did not break the Sabbath. To claim He did as you do makes Jesus a sinner.

Your Jesus can save nobody. Thankfully, the Jesus of prophecy (which you claim is irrelevant) can, and does.

I mean, whether you think he did or not, the Pharisee in the scene think he did.

It is why I say those who uphold the law still are anti Christ.

They share the mindset that killed Jesus, there is no more direct definition.
