THE SHARING TEAM
For those people who may need a biblical reminder about the application of a sharing nature, then this is for you. I usually refrain from using biblical references to make my point because substances of the scriptures from the bible have no weight under corporate consciousness. This means that it doesn't matter what the bible says as long as the corporate agents associating with the bible keep you distracted enough to stay divided and ineffective when it comes to acquiring paradise among yourselves. Corporate consciousness is a psycho-social component of colonialism that help the malevolent reside under Christianity (as well many other religions, churches, masjids, temples or sanctuaries) and get a pass for hypocrisy when it came to chattel slavery, discrimination, disenfranchisement, murder, land theft, genocide, mass incarceration of the black community, etc.
In Acts 4:32-35, the passage describes the early Christian community shortly after the Day of Pentecost, when many believers were coming together in Jerusalem. Here's a breakdown of how this passage speaks about sharing:
Communal Living: The believers were "of one heart and mind" (Acts 4:32), indicating a deep unity and solidarity among them. This unity was not just spiritual but practical, as they shared a common purpose and commitment to each other.
Shared Possessions: It is stated that "no one claimed that any of their possessions was their own" (Acts 4:32). This suggests that the believers had a communal approach to their material possessions. They viewed their belongings as belonging to the community as a whole rather than individual ownership.
Distribution According to Need: The passage goes on to say, "From time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need" (Acts 4:34-35). This demonstrates a practical outworking of their communal living. Those who had excess wealth or property sold it willingly and gave the proceeds to the apostles to distribute to those in the community who were in need.
Resulting Equality: As a result of this communal sharing, "there were no needy persons among them" (Acts 4:34). The community ensured that everyone's basic needs were met, and there was a level of economic equality among them.
Witness to God's Grace: The passage concludes by noting that "God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all" (Acts 4:33). This communal sharing was not just a social arrangement but a testimony to the transformative power of God's grace among the believers.
Acts 4:32-35 illustrates a community of believers who practiced radical sharing and communal living, ensuring that everyone's needs were met and reflecting a deep commitment to unity and mutual care. This passage serves as an example of early Christian values of generosity, compassion, and community solidarity.

SHEEP & GOATS
The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats is a teaching of Jesus found in the Gospel of Matthew, specifically in Matthew 25:31-46. It is part of a series of teachings and parables that Jesus delivers concerning the end times and judgment.
The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats emphasizes the importance of compassion, kindness, and care for those who are marginalized, suffering, or in need. It underscores that true discipleship involves actively loving and serving others, especially those who are vulnerable and overlooked in society. The parable also teaches about the final judgment, where people will be evaluated based on how they lived out these principles of compassion and love.
This parable challenges believers to examine their lives and consider how they are treating others, particularly those in challenging circumstances. It calls for a life characterized by selfless service and care, reflecting the love and mercy of Jesus Christ.
Summary of the Parable:
In the parable, Jesus describes a scene where he returns in glory, accompanied by all his angels, and sits on his throne to judge the nations. All people are gathered before him, and he separates them as a shepherd separates sheep from goats. The sheep are placed on his right, and the goats on his left.
To the sheep on his right, Jesus says, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me" (Matthew 25:34-36, NIV).
The righteous are puzzled because they do not remember doing these acts for Jesus. Jesus explains, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me" (Matthew 25:40, NIV). This indicates that acts of kindness and compassion shown to those in need are seen by Jesus as acts done directly for him.
To the goats on his left, Jesus says, "Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me" (Matthew 25:41-43, NIV).
The goats are similarly puzzled because they do not remember neglecting these acts for Jesus. Jesus explains, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me" (Matthew 25:45, NIV). Thus, acts of neglect towards those in need are seen by Jesus as acts of neglect towards him.
PARADISE
You are not the creator, unless you created yourself. Upon realizing that you did not create yourself, you should determine that God has natural authority which is very similar to parental authority. This is where we tap into our natural inclination to trust our parents which defines the type of authority we are talking about. And if you find a way to perceive that as a collective conscious source you then manifested a creator where you are ALL ONE who then creates a world to place stars, planets and people on the planets - the question then becomes how removed would you be to trust in the higher authority of yourself instead of the man and woman of humanity who will be submerged in the temptations of their own power; especially regarding the things that they can "MAKE" each other do?
It is natural for parents to want to do well (love) by their children, which is an attribute that we receive from God. God also offers paradise and promises paradise for those who trust in God.
The concept of "paradise" is mentioned in several instances throughout the Bible, both in the Old and New Testaments. The term "paradise" generally refers to a place of bliss, delight, or heavenly joy, often associated with the presence of God and eternal life.
Garden of Eden: The word "paradise" originates from the Hebrew term "pardes," which is first mentioned in Genesis 2:8-15. It describes the Garden of Eden, a pristine and harmonious environment created by God for Adam and Eve, where they enjoyed intimate communion with God and experienced perfect harmony with nature before their disobedience led to their expulsion.
The concept of paradise is also tied to the future hope of believers in Christ. Revelation 21-22 describes the New Jerusalem, where God dwells with His people in a new heaven and new earth, characterized by the absence of pain, sorrow, and death—a perfect paradise.
Overall, the Bible uses the term "paradise" to depict various aspects of divine favor, blessing, and communion with God. It represents an ideal state of existence, whether in the earthly Garden of Eden, the heavenly realm after death, or the future eschatological fulfillment of God's kingdom.
THE SHARING TEAM
If you would like to be a part of a sharing team or a society that shares, why not make it known by being counted among others who are also interested. Some of the ideas that I have proposed involve establishing credentials for those who are interested with a goal of reaching a minimum of 8 million people. We all will have opportunities to place two dollars towards projects to place professional services and products in our country and around the world that we can access without paying for it after we have already prepaid for it. Together we will have neighborhoods, hospitals, clinics, cafeterias, auto mechanic shops, vehicles and anything else we can think of that we will be able to access without needing money-in-hand. Imagine for a moment that you arrive at a location similar to Disney World and it's all free; the food, the rides, the services, the hotel stay, just all of it. We are ready to move beyond Disney World experiences to establish a lifestyle where financial barriers are dissolved for our future generations and we would love for the black community to get in on this first.
