Socialism in the Bible
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 and laid at the apostles' feet; and distribution was made to each as any had need.

Acts 4:34-35

1. Communal living is good
but its not the same as Socialism on a national basis. The people in the Acts community belonged to it and shared their wealth by choice.
