Subject: Is asking for money false? |
Bible Note: Dear Luis, Before you wrote, "it is 'the height of evil' to ask for money for proclaiming and living truth (The Gospel)." Now you have switched to saying it isn't about possessions, but some spirtual aspect of regeneration. This kind of waffling does not make for sound exegesis. Besides it confuses your audience to no end! Furthermore, the continued use of undefined (at least I haven't yet seen where you have defined them) like "mammon system" and "crucified souls" confuses even more. I'm all for church planting, and the feeding of the flock. But the flock need to be fed something they can digest. Over-spiritualizing scriptural terms, combining them as needed, and not taking the rest of scripture into account, etc... these will not make for healthy sheep, friend. I pray that the Lord will aid you to become sound and faithful in the doctrines of Christ and the Apostles, that He may use you effectively for the purpose to which you have so much zeal. In the mean time, we pray that God will be merciful and gracious to you and those you seek to teach. In Him, Doc |
