Bible Gateway passage: Acts 5 - King James Version

We know that the experiment didn't work as there is no history of its existence. We do not know if it was abandon shortly after the death of the couple.

We know that people over the centuries have tried to make it work and a few still exist like the Hutterites. Various other groups have tried and had various successes and failures. What are your thoughts on this?

Satan thought that persecuting Christians would destroy the church. It backfired spectacularly. So he started to use the human inclinations to pride, greed, envy, rebellion and selfishness instead. That worked very well. It's still working. I've was involved in a fellowship that was very much like the early church. It was amazing, but it imploded. When I asked the Lord where we went wrong, He just said, "The parable of the sower".

There is a price to pay to be a kingdom Christian, not just a Sunday believer. To be saved costs nothing. To be a disciple costs everything.

The parable of the Mustard seed also talks about the birds ( a type of sin) resting in the branches of the tree when it grows.

Birds are a type of demons (parable of the sower). Demons wait to hinder the word of God before it can take root.

In this case they sit in the branches of the tree of the Kingdom as it gets bigger. The point being that they are ready to subvert the bearing of fruit (by eating the seeds) and defecating all over the things of God, killing the tree.

Those birds are prey to be removed so that a certain kind of bird is freely given a nesting place.

One would hope. Unfortunately history reveals that we do not. What we do instead is tolerate them, hoping that the continued growth of the tree will deal with the problem. What we have ended up with at different times in history is something resembling the tree upon which the Cormorants rest where the tree is dead and the birds dominate.

"Those that destroy the earth will be......"
That tree was very likely dead long before the cormorants began nesting.
trees that have been submerged underwater due to a damming of a waterway have similar characteristics.
The cormorants along with other water fowl have a diet solely of "fish ! "
Not fruits.

So now depending on the location geographically speaking.
And various languages concerning birds considered unclean..

Isaiah 34:11
Jackdaws and owls shall possess it; Great owls and ravens shall dwell there. He shall measure it with a line of chaos And with weights of emptiness.

Hebrew - English Bible / Mechon-Mamre
11 But the pelican and the bittern shall possess it, and the owl and the raven shall dwell therein; and He shall stretch over it the line of confusion, and the plummet of emptiness.

I strongly suggest you read the posting agreements before teaching such vile against our Lord Yeshua and the brethren.

Rejoice in union with the Lord always! I will say it again: rejoice!
5 Let everyone see how reasonable and gentle you are. The Lord is near! 6 Don’t worry about anything; on the contrary, make your requests known to God by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving. 7 Then God’s shalom, passing(pesach) all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with the Messiah Yeshua. 8 In conclusion, brothers, focus your thoughts on what is true, noble, righteous, pure, lovable or admirable, on some virtue or on something praiseworthy.

The tree with birds given over to delusion ..?
The birds who abandon hope.?

They are lacking far more than knowledge in the spirit.
A current discussion is being held concerning diet of waters, bitter and sweet.
With what is offered in the spirit of self discipline I hope the readers here find value in the mitzvah of charity.

While a lion, ox, and man may have milk to offer their young.
A bird such as an eagle offers it's young nourishment with a holy kiss.

Blessings Always

9 I will hear what God the LORD will speak;
for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.
10 Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land.
11 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
12 Truth springeth out of the earth; and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.
13 Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her produce.
14 Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall make His footsteps a way.
Ps 85

I believe Yeshua and the prophets spoke with clarity in Blessing the poor.

While the enemy of The Lord of Host is about role playing a divisive kingdom forewarned of and called a certain cup and habitation. (Left/Right/north/south)
The strategy of such a convoluted attack falls on shields that far out number the arrows that it's archers are able to loose.
For lack of knowledge in the spirit the enemy will eventually run out of provision for such arrows of timber.

The attempt of the unfaithful pair (husband wife)that is mentioned as deceivers of charity.
They not only failed to give a whole tithe.
They drank of the cup in .
an un-worthy-ness manner.

1 Corinthians 11:27

Amen Amen,
There is nothing more admirable than love for a friend.
Like the beauty of instruction given with abstainance(4) upon a guarded heart with a whole armor from The Holy One.
I imagine a whole tithe is revealed in ears and eyes and accepted with hands and feet.

Blessings Always
