Mormons use the fact that they claim “lay” clergy instead of paid ministers to convince people that they are the true Christian church.

That is the reason this stuff gets posted. It is to inform possible converts that the story being told my missionaries is half true at best.

I understand, the point i am trying to make is that if this were the state of Israel more than two thousand years ago these people who are getting paid would be called levites and they would be getting a share of the tithe, they would be public servants.

The levites were the only ones God gave the authority to collect tithes, the writings of the Apostles do not once mention having that authority, they only took donations.

The early Christians who wanted to be servants of God sold every thing they had and gave to the Church , they lived off of the church in common with the others who did the same.

The tithe collecting churches of today are more what jesus set us free from to begin with except there are hundreds of them now instead of just the one.

So if they want to fight about which one is the most apostate then i guess it should not bother me, so i should just say let them go at it.

Then they do know that if they were the true Christian Church,( which they are not ) they would not be taking money for serving God, which by the way was my point.
