Remember Klaus Schwab, going back down memory lane, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum.
The World Economic Forum published a statement on their website that said, quote, "By 2030, you'll own nothing, and you'll be happy," close quote.
What? This idea is based on a 2016 essay by the Danish politician Ida Auken, and that essay was originally titled, quote, "Welcome to 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy, and Life Has Never Been Better," close quote.
It was retitled as such, quote, "Here's how life could change in my city by the year 2030," close quote.
But this essay, it describes life in an unnamed city in which the narrator does not own a car, does not own a house, does not own any appliances or any clothes, but instead relies on shared services for all of his daily needs.
So the question is, some people say, "Well, Jess, doesn't Christianity in the New Testament teach socialism?" Hmm.
Well, let's take a look at the favorite Bible verse that socialists will use to try to say that the New Testament teaches socialism.
Some lefties, some liberals claim they point to Acts 4:32-35, and they say that socialism is taught by Christianity in the New Testament in Acts 4:32-35.
Here's what it says, quote, "Now the company of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had everything in common.
And 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 were possessors of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold," verse 35, "and laid it at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each as any had need," close quote.
Christian giving give-- Uh, Christian social works of mercy, corporal works of mercy, is totally voluntary.
Rather, Christians themselves, we see in the New Testament, gave generously and sacrificially to those in need out of love for God.
Christians that had more financial means supplied for those with less financial means because they understood what St. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 9:7, quote, "God loves a cheerful giver." However, even the poor are called to give and share their widow's mite.
