I have uncovered a little etymological evidence that questions some of the Socialistic interpretations of the Gospels.
The Lithuanian language is at least as ancient as Biblical Greek or Hebrew. "Dalint" means to distribute. "Dalina" means he or she distributes.
One of the followers the Lord saved was possibly named for the profession of distributing examples, referred to as magic, or
"Magija Dalina", perhaps truncated to "Mag-dalina." She was both wealthy and possessed.
Then there's Lazarus, who may have been so poor because he resisted being blacklisted into a similar profession.
Then there's Annias and Sephira. Perhaps they withheld funds obtained by the sale of their soul. Perhaps the point of the early communities was to protect those who were being pressured into such professions and the intention was that the sharing communities would fall away once society was converted to Christian principles, because they would be no longer necessary.
And, can it be the rich young man who wanted to know what he had to do to be saved should not have pressured the Lord for a guarantee when he already had his answer?
