A “FORM” of “SOCIALISM” in the “HOLY” bible?

How CAN that be?

Well, FIRST of all, “SOCIALISM” NEEDS to be DEFINED”, & it’s “DEFINED” as, ACCORDING to Encyclopaedia Britannica;

"Socialism, social and economic doctrine that calls for public rather than private ownership or control of property and natural resources. According to the socialist view, individuals do not live or work in isolation but live in cooperation with one another. Furthermore, everything that people produce is in some sense a social product, and everyone who contributes to the production of a good is entitled to a share in it. Society as a whole, therefore, should own or at least control property for the benefit of all its members."-Encyclopaedia Britannica: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/551569/socialism

And ACCORDING to Diffen.com;

"All people should be given an equal beginning. Workers should have most say in their factory's management. Looking out for general welfare. Control of production by ideology rather than consumer desires."- Capitalism vs Socialism: http://www.diffen.com/difference/Capitalism_vs_Socialism

So, with “SOCIALISM” BEING “DEFINED” UP ABOVE, how CAN a “FORM” of “SOCIALISM” be in the “HOLY” bible?

Well, “CAREFULLY” READ the FOLLOWING biblical passages below, to GET a “CLEAR” UNDERSTANDING, of how GOD PUT a “FORM” of “SOCIALISM” in his “HOLY” word, the “HOLY” bible.

Exodus 16:15-18 (KJV):

15. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.

16. This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.

17. And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

18. And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.

Exodus 30:15 (KJV): The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls.

Acts 2:44-47 (KJV):

44. And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

45. And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

46. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

47. Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Acts 4:32-35 (KJV):

32. And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

33. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

34. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

35. And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

2 Corinthians 8:11-16 (KJV):

11. Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.

12. For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.

13. For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:

14. But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:

15. As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

16. But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.

As you CAN SEE, from “READING” the ABOVE biblical passages, there is a “FORM” of “SOCIALISM” that GOD PUT in his “HOLY” word, the “HOLY” bible.

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his contribution, with emphasis on profit being distributed among the society or workforce in addition to receiving a wage.”- Capitalism vs Socialism: http://www.diffen.com/difference/Capitalism_vs_Socialism

“SOCIALISM” is ALL about “HELPING” one another out & NOT just “HELPING” yourself, but “GIVING” to your “NIEGHBOR”, if he or she lacks in something he or she needs, but you HAVE MORE of what your “NEIGHBOR” NEEDS, & GIVING it to him or her, because;

"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."-Matthew 22:39 (KJV)

"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."-Mark 12:31 (KJV)
