“His responsibilities are far greater than a military leader...”
By that standard, ANY christian should get paid over $200K. Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way. The degree of difficulty in his job and the number supervised, etc is minor compared to a 4-star general.
Obviously we cannot codify that nor should we. Even the Son of Man had no place to lay his head. Yet wealth was not unknown even among the first century church (though it was rare).
So yeah, it works that way.
The Apostles and early Christians were of far more value in the eternal sense than the Roman generals.
And Graham's "wealth" isn't, in the big picture of his ministry, that ostentatious.
Elsewhere in this thread I offered a comparison of the pay of FG in light of the contributions he is able to garner on behalf of the ministry. To wit, his recompense is decided by a committee of men. At .15% and .30% respectively, Graham is receiving a pittance comparatively speaking. Neither YOU nor I would take a job with that much responsibility for that little consideration.
Admittedly, I don't know what a four star general is paid--maybe even a lower amount, but his pay is determined via the law (unlike Graham's), so anyone wanting to achieve that level of leadership knows the score going into the job. So their choice and the "rewards" are known before hand.
