Solomon was a king, that was his primary occupation. Abraham was a cattle rearer. Why won't they be rich ?

Here, we are referring to men whose primary occupation is preaching and living on charity..

If you don't know the standards under which the far majority of Nigerians live today, well, that tells us all we need to know about you, and confirms and justifies calling you and your type Brood Of Vipers.

And Btw, standards of living indices such as per capita income, infant mortality rate, unemployment rate, available of affordable health care, etc, were taught in primary and secondary schools, if only you had paid attention.
I fully grasped the concept in my primary school days.

Asking me to show you what standards with which the extravagant lifestyle of a bling bling Nigerian pastor should be measured clearly betrays not only your moral deficits, but your academic and intellectual deficits as well.

saxywale:

In fact, my white pastor has contributed more donation to Africa than all this our billionaire pastors in Nigeria.

Defcon1:

so those who are poor are not God's children...since they have no "onwnings" to inherit

You are a real conman. A miracle hawker.

That is the point that all these apologists deliberately sidestep.

A N10m car is a practical option for a pastor who wishes to move about in style. Style is not forbidden by the Bible. Even Jesus rode on a donkey on a red(ish) carpet when he had the chance.

Our Father didn't wish any of His children to be Poor,for we av already been made rich..for Those who are poor like u said,their destinies are in their hands

Wrong again bro, they are earning they pay just like you....that's not charity but they right

You have exposed your moral and intellectual paucity enough already on this forum.
You don't need any further help from me.

A week ago, I saw a popular pastor at shoprite coming down from a newer model range rover with a bodyguard. That car should be at least 10-20 million naira. A 2012 range rover sport goes for 11 million naira at least.


I do not want to mention the pastor's name so that his members and followers here do not come and bash me. I am a christian but such extravagance bothers me.


I just want to know what biblical or commonsense justification can be given for such an expensive asset?

femisek:
these things are for human beings not for spirit and a pastor first is human before been called to be a pastor.If a pastor can afford it .Then let him/her go for it.life is a choice if he is genuine he will make it to heaven along the pastor that decides to own a 200k car.

dsquare33:
True talk,the black men of God is so possessed by material things,unlike the whites who still preach the whole essence of Christ.they are not obssessed with material things,they preach out of love, extreme love for God and anybody who listen to some of them preach will know this pure unadulterated word of God. However, one can still find some real men of God that are blacks e.bro Gbile akani, bro kumuyi e.t.c

This is the mindset of parasites and bloodsuckers Since remote antiquity. The haves always considered the havenots less worthy, subhuman and evil.

Yes indeed.
Growth, spiritual growth through accumulation.

The only problem with this particular philosphy is that it didn't constitute any of the known teachings of Jesus, upon whose teachings christianity is built.

So whether you are a Pauline churchtian or whatever you are, you are definitely bringing bad odor to the simple teachings of Jesus.

Afford it what way?

Pls what is the dictionary meaning of "Afford"?
Afford corrolates with income. Not so?

I have asked before. How does a pastor earn income?
Is he paid a stipulated salary?
Is he paid appearance allowances or bonuses, or does he simply grab church offerings, tithes and seedsowing money (lol) as his income?

This is what I want honest christians here to Answer and address.

JoeCutie:
This is why all these so called 'Men of God' can never and will never preach poverty. How can they, when they enrich themselves with the Church members' money. And the foolish thing is that all these Church members sheepishly buy this idea, sacrificing their own wealth for the sake of the "man of God". Pathetic.

It's true they don't take vows of poverty like the Catholic priests, or do they? But the reality is that many of their members are poor, and they are rich. This reality is very clear for all to see. "Our God is not a poor God". Rubbish! "There will be no poor man among His children". Blasphemy! God made everything in such a way that some will be rich while some won't. That's the clear message they should preach to their members. But how could you preach poverty when you're a proud owner of a Private Jet, fleet of exotic cars that the President would only be proud of? It's not possible. This is the thing: no matter how faithful all the Christians put together are, there will still be poor people, and it's not because of their unrighteousness, but because that's the way of God. Nothing can change that. The earlier people realise this, the better for the world.

Two of the MAJOR contributors to our problems in this country are: Politicians (Government) and Pastors (or generally, "men of God" ). The Politicians enrich themselves with the Tax payers' money, while Pastors do same with the Tithe payers' money. Any how, they are being paid: Tax or Tithe.

Pastors should live comfortably well, fine; but all these aberrations we see in this country? Only God knows the heart of men; and only Him can judge.

wonlasewonimi:

I think it's fair for a pastor to drive a N10m car in Nigeria, the one I can't understand is having 4 private jets.

plaetton:

Oh these low iq people.
After 9 pages on this thread, you are still asking me that question?

Ok let me indulge you and test your honesty.
First, no one on this thread has criticized christians or Anyone enjoying wealth.

The question on this thread, which the brood of vipers have deliberately sidesteped, is, upon whose shoulders or sweath should a pastor enjoy any type of luxury?
Pls tell me, how does a pastor earn an Income that affords him to live in opulence?
Pls tell me which Nigerian pastor selfmade himself an lived in opulence before becoming a pastor.
All of Nigerias billionaire pastors were dropouts of one occupation or another.

Do you think that a pastor should take money from his congregation through various extortion schemes to live an opulent lifestyle?
If you have no problems with that, then surely, you and I do not live in the same moral universe.

this is how some so called christians justifies their behaviour i wonder which Bible he has been reading he also asserted that poverty is of the devil, so which means if you dont own a range rover 2015, you are of the devil
