So when I drive my company car on the way to work, it would be illegal for me to stop at Starbuck's to get a latte for personal consumption? No, it's not.Yes, it's abused, but that still doesn't make it legal or moral...especially for Christian nonprofits.
Already addressed the Judas thing, thanks so much for the comparison.Giving a $20 Timex to a pastor in a Third World country can be argued as being extravagant....that money can be sold to feed the poor. Wasn't that also Judas' argument?
Keep in mind I'm not advocating a $23,000 piece of furniture - at least not me personally.
Already addressed the Judas thing, thanks so much for the comparison.Not cool. It's obviously very different being generous to the Lord; another to spoil oneself. Surely you're not comparing giving Joyce a $23,000 commode the same as annointing Jesus' feet with oil???
LOOK, I'm leaving this post.
I just saw it in Forums and just realized that I'm in the Pentacostal zone. I would NOT have posted here if I had realized that.
We do not share the same theology and I did NOT intentionally come out here to debate or argue.
Sorry about that. I'm leaving now.
Yes I know. People would rather turn the false into truth than accept the truth. It's so much more fun because then we can bicker and place blame and make accusations.Well, that's because we are choosing to ignore it, because it's................

agreedIts an antique dresser not really a toilet and was given to her...she didn't buy it.
Yes but she poured it on Jesus to prepare him for the burial.
The issue is could she have poured it over herself?
I think the point is that someone gave the ministry the commode as a gift, just as the woman gave Jesus the ointment as a gift.
Peace...
So what about the giver of the camode? Lets be real stinky about the gift, and say no thanks I refuse your gift, and hurt the givers feelings. Its not always about us. There is the other side of the coin about giving, and someone desiring to give a gift. Lets cut them off quickly. It certainly couldn't be scriptural about someone desiring to give anything, right?Yes but she poured it on Jesus to prepare him for the burial.

WHAT part of it is a dresser NOT A TOILET are people NOT getting. GIVE me abreak. Another reason to slam someone...I hope your logs are worth 23K!
so I take it YOU are perfect??? Is the beam in your eye gold? WHere in the Word of God does it say to criticize ANYONE for ANY reason?? Chapter and verse please? If you can't find it..maybe you shouldn't be doing it and confess it as SIN>
Who cares if it is a dresser or a toilet, it cost 23,000 stinkin dollars. It does not matter if it was purchased by her or given to her; it just set her up for criticism. You think she would have more discretion, either way, seeing that such an unnecessary luxury could only serve to draw fire from her critics. It certainly does not help anyone use the restroom any better.

who judged? I just asked for scripture darling to back up what he is doing. I am not here to please you or be your scape goat for not being a Chrisitan...that is your choice.And you can go ahead and judge his heart and motives and everything else. Ahhhh! I love "Christianity"!!!!!!!!!!
just asked for scripture. If you can show me..I will apologize..if not, maybe you should?
Are you pointing out the mote in my eye?
