... or run their business. If that's how they want to practise their faith or run their 'religious' business, then the Constitution of the US protects that. As a Christian, though, I know that it is wrong to ask for donations for the spreading of the Gospel and spend it on a $5M house, when a $250,000 would easily suffice for Pat and Jan and her hair to all live comfortably together.
"if you want an enemy to fight,don't make it a minister making money."
They aren't ministers. Not of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, anyway. They are scam artists looking to scam money supposedly in the name of our Lord and Saviour.
"There are thousands of ministers who barely make enough money to raise a family. Remember this when you start "clumping" them together. What if they ARE working for God...and you're not? Guess who's gonna be fried?"
Those committed to the Great Commission are not by any means required to take a vow of poverty. But blatant profiteering in the name of God is blasphemous in and of itself. Money used to further His Kingdom should be used for that -- not on $5M luxury homes when a $250,000 would suffice for Paul and Jan and her hair.
Paul and Jan are not preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are just industry leaders in the religion business.
