I have been accused by some of not taking the Bible seriously (ie literally) enough. So I'd be interested to hear people's interpretations of Christ's teaching on finance and property (esp. from those who maintain the Gospel has nothing to do with socio-economic issues). For a start off, take a look at Luke chapter 12. In particular, I'd like to draw your attention to verse 33:
Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not... for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
As Bible-believing Christians, should we be taking Christ at his word - it appears the very earliest Christans did (see Acts 2:24,45 and 4:32,24-25), so why do we not do the same?
