When referring the camel to the rich man and heaven.

Today's Evangelical Christians, many of them, are lacking humility towards the poor if they follow the tenets of the RWNJs. For Jesus focused much of His teachings that the very rich had a duty to care for the poor and lift them up.

As "originalists" we turn to the words and acts of the first Christians, those living nearest Jesus, who saw and heard and understood first hand.

"Acts" describes a communal, socialist lifestyle; from and to each without personal greed and grasping.

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?

Lithuanian is more closely related to Sanskrit and English than to Hebrew (or Aramaic), which is not Indo-European.

Magdalene means "of Magdala". Magdala is a village on Lake Galilee, it comes from the Hebrew word for tower (migdal), and the Aramaic name meant "tower of fish", i.e. it was named after piles of salted fish.

I am not fluent in Hebrew, but the closest Biblical Hebrew words for distribute and magic are chilek and kesheph.

Mary Magdalene was one of the leaders, so maligned by patrician history that her story, and with that the story of Jesus, is forever lost, but I see nothing in the gospels or in archaeology to say that they were a band of sorcerers.

Your point is all supposition. There is no reason there couldn't have been someone from far off in Galilee. Magic need not refer to sorcery.

We have more knowledge about Mary Magdalene than we do about some of the twelve individual male disciples. As for Mary, it would seem she had been possessed by seven demons! So, perhaps there’s something to it…

"However, I am inclined to say the question of whether they were a traveling band of sorcerers or not is quite beside the point. — Otherwise the four canonical Gospels would have been more explicit about it, rather than simply assigning them portentous names."

Where do you get a traveling band from? My point was Mary Magdalene might have been saved from a job involving sorcery, which had made her both wealthy and possessed.

The couple in Acts 5 may have withheld a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their souls due to being involved in a similar profession. Suppose their way of death was meant to be taken as a euphemism for being killed by the mob for holding back and not putting their faith into their salvation from the mob?

And, perhaps the point of the early communities was to save the blacklisted, until society was converted enough to not require extra support to stay out of the mob, rather than redistribution in general.

He was forced out of the pulpit, because influential members accused him of preaching socialism. He argued that he was simply preaching the Gospel.
