Christians should look at Scripture as a whole

The next time a Christian partisan shouts a Bible verse at you - as if citing Leviticus 18:22, Exodus 20:13 or 1 Corinthians 7:4 ended all discussion of homosexuality, abortion or women's rights - shout back, "Acts 4:32-35!"
Oops!
Yes, that is the passage that might have inspired Karl Marx. "No one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common," and wealth "was distributed to each as any had need."
No free-market capitalism in that biblical economy. No "prosperity Gospel" either. And certainly nothing as lax as a tithe of merely 10 percent.
Or you could shout "Exodus 22:25!" about not charging interest on loans, or "Deuteronomy 15:1-3!" about forgiving debts every seventh year, or "Leviticus 19:9-10!" about leaving grain in the field for gleaners, or "Luke 19:8-9!" about Zacchaeus giving half of his wealth to the poor.
