You're regurgitating propaganda.
You're already poor. You believe that what you inhabit and interact with, is yours. But, unfortunately there is God. And, God is God. What you believe is not even yours.
In this propagation of faulty logic, the 2ND temple belonged to Rome. John the Baptist's head belonged to Herod. The Natives' land belonged to the conquistadors. Etc.
To capitalize irrespective of God's ownership is capitalism. The capitalist believes that what is theirs individually, is even hidden from God.
Laughable.
It doesn't mean that everyone has to be "poor" (however one defines it), but that everyone shares things equally. Just like in a family, where siblings have to share with each other. I've often heard some Christians say that we're all part of "God's family" and "children of God," so wouldn't that imply that we're all brothers and sisters and should take care of each other?
At least in theory, Communism advocates something similar, although they took a more militaristic approach and called each other "comrade." But that still implied "brothers in arms," which put them into the same vicarious "family unit."
So at least in theory, both Communism and Christianity share this basic principle, that all of humanity is equal in the eyes of God and that we're all part of God's family and are obligated to share with each other and take care of each other on that basis.
I believe that means that you don't believe what God says when He says thou shalt not steal. If no-one owns anything there isn't any stealing.
that would make for a good thread.Moses speaking on God's behalf.. But,
If God owns the earth, everything in it, and the world, as well as everyone in it-
What happens when someone assumes ownership?
At all the real estate closings I've ever been party too,What happens when someone assumes ownership?

At all the real estate closings I've ever been party too,
not once has the title company ever found God's name
in the chain of title.

But critters don't claim legal ownership.interesting aside, most animals don't recognize a homo sapiens name on any title either. the birds still build their nests where they will, the others still trespass without regard, and others squat without permission.
we all live by someone's assent; otherwise it's murder.But critters don't claim legal ownership.
They live on my property only with my assent.
Alas, native Americastanians didn't have recognized title towe all live by someone's assent; otherwise it's murder.
native americans didn't believe that you could own the land. it's a human belief to think you can, or can't.
try killing a bald eagle, or most raptors on the property you claim as yours. watch what happens.
ironic
I believe since God approves of ownership then He is aware that said ownership is an illusion due to the transitory nature of life.
Alas, native Americastanians didn't have recognized title to
our land that they lived on....rent free for thousands of years.
I suspected that too.you suppose that might be a cultural bias?
I suspected that too.
It's like we share one brain!
they say, and I don't know who "they" are, that great minds think alike.
