fukk Joel Olsteen, he's a prosperity pimp.
He should be robbed regularly.

What would Jesus think of Joel Osteen's $325,000 Ferrari?

Had you quoted the rest of the parable, you'd know that Jesus would be none too pleased with Joel right now. Jesus has no problem pocket-watching. He has a problem with greed.
A) What is “greedy” about owning a Ferrari?
B) The part I quoted isn’t a part of that parable - it was Jesus saying he doesn’t have anything to do with personal money disputes between people.

They agree with what I said.
Off the back of your congregation who don't have nearly as much wealth as you, financial tools, nor financial literacy? Nothing.
Yes, I agree he did say that. But the guy asked because of greed. And Jesus isn't getting involved in that.

You sure about that?

You know absolutely nothing about the financial particulars of that congregation. You pocket watching.

Who said mega church pastors are supposed to live like that?
Church is huge af. And it's a calling, not a business.
Plus most people wouldn't have a problem with that, if the congregation was also living like that legitimately.
thats unrealistic mayne. Be the head of a church with 52,000 members that attend weekly.
thats not to say i believe he should have enormous wealth. Bruh been the pastor for 22 years lol. But if he take half a dollar from every member hes making 1.3Ms a year. No tithes or nothing.

I honestly don't care what dude does with his money. If people wanna continue to get grift'd, fukk em.
Well yeah, but this literal passage says more than both of us can debate.
Jesus is asked by a rich man what can he do to get into heaven.
Luke 18:22
When Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

Then I take partial issue lolBoth
this is the issue though is I have no problem with Pastors making money, but once you can’t tell where the money is coming from they need to separate them. Maybe don’t talk about your church in books/speaking engagements and don’t advertise your books at your services
Basic common sense should tell you to stear clear of such people, but people still get drawn in and get legally duped by these charlatans.
orthodoxy is the way imo
@HarlemHottie its stuff like this that makes me appreciate the monastics and the men who dedicate their whole lives and time to God
makes you realize that the devourer/consumeristic spirit truly is the biggest hurdle to holiness
