Interesting manipulation of Scripture, facts, history . . .
Large and small churchs both have their plusses and minuses. To God be the Glory whenever and however HIS WILL is done.
Oh? And what would be the un-manipulated scripture, facts, and history be?
I must not have one of Warren's modern translations of 1st Timothy chapter 3 where Paul describes the desired church leader as a man that is greedy for lucre.
The scriptures I have read call for just the opposite.
