    Can pastors be multi-millionaires?

    But then why the switch in the NT? Or were the rich people in the OT different? Like did King David hoard everything he could get his hands on? Or did he use the wealth to improve the nation instead?

    Can pastors be multi-millionaires?

    I always wonder why so many people in the OT were rich. You could also add Joseph after he became Pharohs second and Job after God gave him back everything. I'm sure there are even more. But then in the NT Jesus and his followers were poor, Saul became Paul then became poor. The rest of the...

    Socialism: Does the Bible permit governments to provide welfare?

    As a Canadian, I feel relaxed knowing I don't have to pay for health insurance or get approved for health insurance on a yearly basis. When I see Americans on websites like GoFundMe asking for medications or operations just so they can stay alive, it is difficult to read. Jesus always looked...

    Can pastors be multi-millionaires?

    If a pastor owns a multi-million dollar home, 8 cars, a big boat and other luxuries, is that greed or is it just being blessed by God? Can a pastor have an excess of wealth and live a life of luxury or is it unbiblical to do so?

    Yeah, I was thinking the same. I guess glass-half-full, he has been at the adoption agency so long he is probably used to it now anyway.

    If we are 100% honest, the adoption agency won't let us adopt him, that is our situation. It is very hard to get into the details and has been an exhausting back and forth process. Our options are, 1) Let my brother and wife adopt him and we take care of him. 2) Or tell them what we are...

    I believe only a few Christians will go to Heaven

    But, a lot of people playing Christian think they are "true Christians". I think I'm a true Christian but I sin every day. I don't want to or set out to do it, but it just happens.

    It's a no-lose situation for conservatives tonight

    I would say Biden is more conservative. He had cheated on any of his wives yet.

    Trump’s Blasphemy

    Anyone that thinks Trump is a Christian has to ignore a lot. From cheating on each of his wives(including the current one), to walking into women's changing rooms, to joking about sexually assaulting women...if Trump was a fig tree there would definitely be no fruit.

    Have you heard? The end of legalized abortion is coming to America!

    Question, how come fighting for a fetus is more important than fighting for Syrian refugees to be able to immigrate to America? Both are dying, but we only care about one of them. I dont know, I might have read the Good Samaritan story wrong.
