@kaleb @sinbach @tymektt … hi kaleb I saw this discussion and thought I would join 😁 … I will just say it’s very important that we pay close attention to all the small details of Scripture. At a closer look of acts 5 you’ll discover that Ananias did not die for failing to give to the believers. He died for lying to the Holy Spirit. His greed and his desire to people please led him to deceive. Based on those verses,, he could have given any amount and then been honest. His deceit is what was condemned. That’s a huge difference. Also take note of acts 4:32- these believers were of one heart and mind. Their hearts led them to give freely.

Can you tell me all those who suffer under communist regimes are of one heart? Do they give freely from their heart? I don’t think so. If they were, then why would they try to escape from places like north Korea or others.

@kaleb @sinbach @tymektt
I’m addition to the last post — EVERYWHERE else in the Bible that financial giving is talked about (both for Old Testament Israelites and New Testament believers), collections are made based on freely and generously giving as each one desires from their heart
