Reply #4: "No money ever exchanged hands" [View All]

[Boojatta]

Money was introduced at different times in different places. Consider where the writers of the New Testament were when they were writing. The use of money was already well established. If you're talking about a time before the use of money, then you are in Adam and Eve territory: most of the writing is myth.

Of course, money is an invention and there have been communities that didn't use it, but people used money before the invention of written language.

Information about life in those communities is typically available only from anthropologists. So if you're going to say something about what things were like when and where "no money ever exchanged hands", then either we should see references to research done by anthropologists, or we should see some alternative explanation of how the information was obtained.
