In Yahshua,
by Yahshua's Own Word, isn't it necessary to give up everything for Yhvh to belong to Yhvh ?
....
"Who do you say that I AM ? "
"You must be PERFECT" ...... ("..because your FATHER in HEAVEN is PERFECT..") to whom/ but who has "FATHER in HEAVEN"?
"NEVER turn AWAY from your FELLOWMAN" (ALWAYS give him what he NEEDS(food/shelter/cup of water)
.....
.....
Why did the ekklesia in Scripture not lack anything - no one had need of anything. "NO ONE" . "NOT ONE PERSON" . "HAD NEED OF ANYTHING."
.....................NO ONE LACKED..........................
............................................................
.......NO ONE WAS HUNGRY.........NO ONE HOMELESS............
............................................................
............................................................
........and this wasn't in 'secret' nor in 'hiding' ........
............................................................
........this was in view of all of the city - it was publicly
........observed by the priests and bishops and governors and
........citizens and pagans and religious zealots and laborers
........and carpenters and boat builders and cloth workers
........and whoever worked in the city --- they all could and
........many did see and REPORT -
........many outsiders too -
........REPORTED --- LOOK! AMAZING !! these people(ekklesia)
-------- "HAVE BEEN WITH G_D" (I don't know if they said YHVH)
.............................(did pagans utter the NAME above
............................. any other name???)
...........................................................
......."they (ekklesia) have been with YHVH the CREATOR!!!"....
............................................................
(surprise! YHVH dwelling with men on earth).................
............................................................
now, you, the reader --- have you observed ANYONE ANYWHERE ?
of whom this is said ???????????????
