Political authority is not anything I was referring to.
Also, there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed but the church refuses to address them.
The folks in Acts sold their possessions to give to those who had need. That is true. "Not because they were starving and about to die". I do not understand what you are meaning by this.
Did the believers stop needing things after they were given what was needed in the daily distribution?
Yashua said that the poor and needy would always be with them/us. Even until today. He would not always be with them/us. We have the spirit of truth, scripture, to lean on in times of need.
No. People need to eat, wear clothing, and drink , as fresh as possible, water, and have shelter.
This is not "lording" anything over anything or anyone. There is to be one overseer in each city, and 7 deacons, or helpers of the congregation, in each city.
There is a serious disconnect between how we as believers are to live, and how we do live.
He returned with vengeance when Titus destroyed the city and burned the temple to the ground. That was 40 years after his death.
Just like there were 40 years after the Egyptian passover until Yashua entered the land of Canaan with the children of Israel after Moses died. That is correct, his name was Yashua, the son of Nun. He was to be a "type" of the NT Yashua.
Something missing in each city is overseer and 7 deacons.
It isnt something I prefer in calling him "Yashua". It is out of respect and how his name is pronounced.
His name is not Jesus. That is bastardized from Iesus, from Yashua. Hebrew to Latin to English. Not needed.
He was a Hebrew from the line of Yehudah and his name was Yashua.
But this is what people focus on when there are more important topics to tackle like what was stated before...
