These people also manage to ignore the fact that Jesus went to Peter’s HOUSE in Capernaum to heal his mother-in-law. (Aren’t all of these men supposed to be gay? Peter was married!)The New Testament is filled with references to homeowners who were followers. Jesus talked about people who owned vineyards and their right to determine what they would pay their workers.
Excellent points! Jesus frequently dined at people’s homes, too. I can’t remember a verse where He says, “Hey, what are you doing with a house in the first place?! Why haven’t you sold this place?” Instead He accepted people’s hospitality. In fact, in the case of at least one guy, Jesus invited Himself to the man’s house for supper! LOL
I’m no theologian, but I would say it’s okay to have homes and other nice things, and we should accept them with gratitude as gifts from our heavenly Father...and then use those gifts to bless others, as the people in the Bible did.
