Should religious objects not be made of gold?

Was God wrong for commanding that the Ark be made of gold?

17"You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide. 18"You shall make two cherubim of gold, make them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat.
Does God not care about starving children?

Are you equally concerned about Joel Osteen's wealth?

This is his humble home. It probably costs even more than a gold cross.

Maybe you should clean up your own Bible-alone churches before casting stones.

To me this is a stench. Sure, he ‘can’ buy this, and not be immoral - but my bet is that Joel doesn’t have his priorities right.

Since “my church” never pled poverty while living in gilded halls, there is no analogy to be made.

Talk about casting stones.

Why don’t you condemn the way the Catholic hierarchy lives?

Or do you only object when it’s not a Catholic?

Joel Osteen runs a Bible believing church? HA HA.

Now that’s really really funny!

I don’t think that Joel even owns a cross.

Attacking straw men is an Alinsky tactic.
