The communal, loving society which reflected the first version(s) of Christianity is mentioned in Acts 2:44-47 and Acts 4:32-37. Probably it was quite separate from "the World" (= the "usual" society).
..... In modern times there are religious orders, "utopian societies" and also the Kibbutzim in Israel that probably are close to what Jesus wanted.
..... Just omitting Miles and Points (etc.) plans are a very minor change of what fundamentally would continue the current dog-eat-dog society that Jesus very probably would have rejected.
..... By the way, the color scheme is quite OK on this computer screen; maybe not on others?
