I don't understand you fellows who think that the Church should be poor God is not poor so neither should the Churches of Jesus Christ.Prosperity of the Church/Christians is for a purpose: TO FURTHER THE GOSPEL. The Gospel is free but not CHEAP! For e.g do you guys know how much it will cost to sponsor Bibles to prisons? you do the math.That's the reason God will always prosper the Church becos they have a lot to do in ensuring people get to hear the Gospel all over the world. I prefer to be wealthy,becos POVERTY IS A SIN AND ITS OF THE DEVIL! |

BadBoy25: I see nothing wrong . Of course not! I don't expect you to see anything wrong since we are talking about AMERICAN peeps here. If the topic were to be about Nigerian pastors and their lavish lifestyles, you and your ilk will be all up on this thread reigning insults on Nigerians and Nigeria as a nation and telling the people how foolish they are. However, since the thread is about your pay masters the americans, the cat has suddenly stolen your tongue or maybe your fingers have suddenly gone numb. SMH! @Post God knows his own. These archbishops should remember the bible verse that says in Matthew 19:24 "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." (NIV) |

What's the source of Jesus' income? While He may have been a carpenter before he was 30, after clocking 30 he took up ministry job full time. Please don't tell me its donations..because a good number of His followers were poor and the few rich ones were advised to give up their riches to improve their chances of making heaven. How do you support your claim that money exchanged hands when he made a reservation for the upper room if the bible was your source..here's an excerpt from Mt.26:18-19: "...He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house. So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover..." As for the expensive clothe, I hate to burst your bubbles..they weren't His..it was put on Him by Herod's soldiers before sending Him to Pilate...""Then Herod and his soldiers treated Him (Jesus) with contempt; and after mocking Him, he put a splendid robe on Him and sent Him back to Pilate." I have repeatedly listened to teachings of this type from our pastors and i think they're wrong. Jesus is very rich but not by our world's standard be careful of pastors who says otherwise! MiguelMi6: Some have misplaced priorities,others just enjoy what they have,its part of their rewards.The Bible makes it known that Jesus wasn't poor,he could afford the very best fleet of ships,he could afford to make reservations for the upper chamber-a mordern day presidential suite,his garments was even prophesied to be beautiful and priceless for the centurions to cast a lot for its possession.This is just a few,the Bible can tell you more. |

tim411: How do you know they aren't investing in the people? The catholic church has the highest number of followers, and also the wealthiest. The catholic church engages the community way better than your average Pentecostal church. They feed the poor, help the needy, pray and visit the sick, host community events and what have you. So I ask you, why do you think they are not investing in the people? Poverty? Hmm, you can't eradicate poverty just like you can't remove the rich. Call me insane and inhuman but the truth is both are needed for a balanced society. I see nothing wrong in building a house worth $5million for the church servants, particularly if that's an asset and not a liability. These houses will forever pass onto other faithfuls in the future, this is how the catholic church operates. Ask yourself how much do you think St. Paul's Basillica is estimated to be worth? 1 Like |

Oh okay. So i suppose to make it complete we should just convert Heaven to a place of minimal value and do away with all the good and opulent ornaments so that we can prove that as Christians are supposed to be humble. Humility doesnt mean you should live in penury. Infact the true test of humility can only be when surrounded by riches and wealth. What choice do you have but to be humble when you are poor? ...Not like our poor people in Nigeria are even humble sef. |

Alishachris: [size=15pt]I just knew some dumb, slave-minded, white worshiping peabrain like you will sneak out from nowhere to defend white theft and corruption and condemn the black. Cursed idi.ot backed by 50 other slave-minded self haters. Fact is there is ZERO DIFFERENCE between the deceit that sees white clergy emerge multimillionaires and the deceit that sees black clergy emerge multimillionaires. Attempting to elevate one over the other in criminality makes you a self hating black who needs psychological treatment and maybe a dose of Malcolm X literature, so you can cure yourself of the mental disease that makes you automatically hate your own kind over others.[/size] 2 Likes |

BadBoy25: I'm baptist by birth and the catholic church is not even my cup of tea. I simply see nothing luxurious about those mediocre gothic houses. I'm sure Nigerian archbishops have similar official residences . they also take commercial flights instead of private jet.Is that his fault?so he should become poor because you don't agree with the teachings of prosperity? Prosperity is a choice so also is poverty if you are not comfortable with the teachings of prosperity, leave prosperity and those whom have embraced it alone and stay with your poverty or average lifestyle whichever one that suits you. |

Alishachris: I don't see anything evil here. The properties are serviced by the archdiocese or the Catholic Church. More over, those apartments or lavish apartments you labeled it are all shared by the priests and staff but that does not mean that's how all catholic priests live in every part of the world |

Rich4god: If this should come from any one, it shouldnt be from you... It negates thereal Christ you claim to follow...The fuss is that the Church should not own such property in the first place.Did Jesus own such property? Would he have? If the church has excess funds then they should invest it in commercial property that generates income not luxury and opulence for men of God. The proceeds should be used t help the poor and community in general What about the story where a property already existed,a weekend lodge, and $800000 was being spent to add a wing a pool. If we would criticize politicians for doing so then me must be even more vocal against those doing so in the name of God. Where did $800000 come from? would those who gave it have it have done so if they knew it was going to be used for that |

well these buildings are investments, they have not been built for one year use but a 100 years and when the need arises they can be sold, any improvements made to the building only increases its value. |

dasparrow: sorry those are NOT lavish homes. A masion doesn't always mean an luxurious residence. A mansion also means a "official residence". Those buildings above are old buildings, built in th 1900, their prices aren't a reflection of their cost, it is a reflection of their age, historical advatage, their sites among other things. Lastly, the houses bishops live doesn't make them "rich", they are simply official residences, the bishops actually have a fixed allowance and that isn't even tailored to meet minimum wage, they rest is from personal charitable donations. |
