dadeadman1337 SG

Nope. That 'someone' is wrong. What wrong a pastor being rich? As long he don't get it through illegal or underhand means, and he can the job of the pastor done nicely (without anyhow interprete the bible for their own benifits), it's ok

I heard there was a pastor in the UK charging 50 pounds per blessing, that is just preying on people's ignorance and guiliblity

laurence82 SG

Used to be a day where we feel guilt if we did something

Nowaways is, pastor's rich, what's wrong?

How to counter guilt and pursue personal interest? Be shameless about it, people cant do anything

A good trick to use in office too

Fairyfairy86 SG

a must or not a must at chc.

It depends on whether u want to give

however "their teaching always remind us of 100 fold returns"

thats why ppl thought i give 100, will reap 10000 in returns

yeah, as if it is an investment which is morally wrong and it is definitely not true.

why god let jesus had a humble birth place at a stable instead of a palace ? this just got to show that god and jesus are telling their people to be humble, it is the people who don't get it.

Rock^Star SG

i dun remember jesus going to fanciful temples or palaces to preach.

Stevenson101 SG

Then we seemed to have a difference in the idea of what is underhanded or not.

I find the practice of instilling guilt on your followers to give money to be pretty damn underhanded.

Would Jesus have liked fancy churches like this?

Hey I agreed with you.

To be humble and nice.

GOD is great, only the human make the GOD look not nice.

So the ritual of prayer has become more important than living according to the teachings of Jesus eh?

I may question the divinity of Jesus but i could agree that he was a very moral person. Somehow i don't think he would have approved of such behaviour.

Time change alot, so as human.

Last time, Jesus time, where got plane and high rise building and shopping center? Now all have liao. Air con somemore.

Last time, human very humble, help each other, now, even next door neighour we also dont know and selfish too.

reservistsianz SG

I thought all disciples of jesus are poorer and simple people. He said tat rich people should donate all their wealth before joining him before. He also warned people not to make money using religion as an excuse by hitting the stores around temples and calling them thieves.

Nelstar SG

Chicken and egg.

Blame the fools for making the rich wealthy or blame the rich from leeching from the fools?

BadzMaro SG

lol

Fantagf SG

what you said is true. Wealth sometimes is a blessing from God. It is the motives that count.

BadzMaro SG

Money is not the root of all evil.. the LOVE for money is the root of all evil.

bingo. Many people take it wrongly that money is the root of evil.

Dark_Zero SG

Don't twist the words and find fault here. Is this the way you show God's love?

I not twisting words. I also not finding fault. I just merely stating facts.

Agree.

Underhand. Haha. Playing with people mind. But human are not perfect. And pastor are human, thus not perfect. So this is their imperfect side. Just don't fall prey to it and we will just do fine

Mind and Heart is also the root of evil.
