I keep asking because the replies I get don't make sense with what I read in scripture. Sorry, but I'm not going to remember something that doesn't add up.
You've jumped all over the bible and forced pieces together that don't belong together to come up with your "command" to sell all. The context in Acts itself proves there is no "commanded" to sell all.
Stuff your GOOGLED sound byte cliche above, and although "context" is important,you employ that dodge on every post, when there is no context, as the words are in plain, direct language, that a 6 year old can "get," with your "it really does not mean that" deception. You lied, when you asserted that the 12, the early Acts believers, were not told to sell it all, leave all-they did exactly that, moron, and no amount of spinning, deceit, on your part, "Three Card Monty," can mask your lying.....
There is no command to sell all you have.
The Lord Jesus Christ commanded his disciples to sell all:
Command given: Mt. 19:21 KJV, Mk. 10:21 KJV, ;Luke 12:33 KJV, 18:22 KJV
Command obeyed: Mt. 19:27 KJV;Mk. 10:28 KJV;Luke 5:11KJV, 18:28 KJV, Acts 2:44-45 KJV,4:32-34 KJV
Penalty for disobedience-death-Acts 5:1-11 KJV
Do you have "...all things common...": Acts 2:44 KJV, 4:32-34 KJV , 3:6 KJV?
Well?
"And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" Luke 6:46 KJV
Have you sold all your possessions? This is one of the commands of the Lord Jesus Christ, in simple, 6th grade English, Jethro:
"Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and
sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me." Matthew 19:21 KJV
"Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth." Luke 12:32-33 KJV
("Extra credit" on this test! Please elaborate as to why you do or "do not the things" of giving alms, since obviously the body of Christ is being addressed here-"little flock"=the body of Christ.)
"Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing:
sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me." Luke 18:22 KJV
Read it-"sell all that thou hast,"
Any answer along the lines of "He really did not mean that literally- He was merely ONLY attempting to teach/convey a spiritual truth", or, "that was before the cross and the resurrection", will be "red marked" as incorrect, and "non responsive/incomplete", for the disciples did exactly what the Lord Jesus Christ said, both before and after the death, burial, and resurrection:
"before"
"Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?" Matthew 19:27 KJV
Read it-"we have forsaken all,"
"Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee." Mark 10:28 KJV
"Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee." Luke 18:28 KJV
Read it-"we have left all"
35 and laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.
They saw brothers in need and were helping. Not selling all.
4:36 Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas (which means son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus, 37 sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet
Sold a field, not all.
5:1 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,
A piece of property, not all.
5:4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal?
It was theirs to do with as they pleased, before and after the sale.
Their sin was lying to the Holy Spirit.
5:3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?
Keeping back some of the proceeds was not their sin, they lied about how much they sold it for.
5:8 And Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” And she said, “Yes, for so much.” They wanted the praise of the people.
No, you deceitfully spinned it, liar. 40 days of "Boot Camp" from the Master, post resurrection....the 12, all filled 100% with "the promise of the Father," and they sold it all, and instructed the early Acts belivers, to sell their possessions, land.............You lied, and continue to lie, liar:
"And all that believed were together, and had all things common;.....Then Peter said,
Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk....
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. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 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, And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need." Acts 2:44 KJV,Acts 3:6 KJV, Acts 4:32-35 KJV
Now, turbosixx-you, and your fellow obvious Christians, should immediately establish a communist community, where you all equally share everything, "having all things in common," and sell your sell your land and houses, gold, 401(K), 403(B),........and distribute it to the poor.
Leave all-including your wife, family.....
Do you do that? Do it.
Why not? Tell all of TOL. Go ahead. Let me guess: It really does not mean that, like your Mark 16 ff deception, right, deceiver?
Your command to sell verses are not about selling all you have. 3 were specifically addressed to the rich young ruler because that is what his problem was.
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich.
The other verse are about trusting God to provide and treasure that really matters.
No, you lied, and made the above up, spinning, deceiving the flock, liar-the 12 were told to sell all-they did-they left it all-the rich young ruler was told to sell all that he had-why are you lying-what is your motivation, liar?:
"Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and
sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me." Matthew 19:21 KJV
"Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth." Luke 12:32-33 KJV
("Extra credit" on this test! Please elaborate as to why you do or "do not the things" of giving alms, since obviously the body of Christ is being addressed here-"little flock"=the body of Christ.)
"Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing:
sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me." Luke 18:22 KJV
Read it-"sell all that thou hast,"
I am honestly testing what I believe to be truth. I'm not going to believe just anything. I test what I'm told to see if it holds up compared to scripture.
No, you are not. You are lying, about your assertion that the LORD God gave no command to sell all. And you continue to lie, and deceive, with your sophistry, "spiritual back flips/cart wheels/gymnastics," to deceive the babes/flock.
Tell all of TOL your motivation for lying. Go ahead.
And, no, you want to see if what you've been shown, chapter and verse, by I/others, from scriptures, from a dispensational viewpoint,agrees with/supports your "it all says the same thing," and "just one" church SOF, as you ignore the preciseness, details of the scriptures, a book of details,and display your disdain for such details, in laziness, and disregard, a cavalier attitude, for said scriptures.
