I disagree. The verses quoted in Post 48 show Mary's 'offerings' being criticized by apparent 'Believers' (Martha probably was one ... Judas -- no). They said Mary's resources could be applied to better purposes.
That is the gist of your complaint.
And if you don't think the construction of a 'to scale' replica of Noah's Ark is a worthy cause - by all means you are free to donate where you see fit.
Again a false comparison. You don’t really get those verses, but that’s ok.
