I understand pastors are meant to give back to society and all

but I want my pastor to look flashy, expensive and rich
esp if hes church is big

whats the point of having a big church and wearing rag clothes
that does not match

I love rich pastors

2 Peter 2:1-3Good News Translation (GNT)

False Teachers
2 False prophets appeared in the past among the people, and in the same way false teachers will appear among you. They will bring in destructive, untrue doctrines, and will deny the Master who redeemed them, and so they will bring upon themselves sudden destruction. 2 Even so, many will follow their immoral ways; and because of what they do, others will speak evil of the Way of truth. 3 In their greed these false teachers will make a profit out of telling you made-up stories. For a long time now their Judge has been ready, and their Destroyer has been wide awake!

How does d pastor bn rich or poor determine ur salvation.

Rather than focus on ur pastors looks or whatever, u shud b more concerned about the message, and d Spirit of God in him.

His message can either make u or break u.

Ask God to guide u.

One word explains why people of the same mindset as the op feel blessed when they give their meagre all to fund their pastor's lordly life style, and it is called idolatory.

As a god, their pastor is not expected to look like them, or be concerned with the same mundane issues (such as food, shelter, clothing and health) they are forced to grapple with everyday. Their man of god should be above it all, awesome and seperate from them.
It is his awesomeness that gives them hope that perhaps someday, if they are lucky, one of his many blessinngs and prophecy might take hold in their lives and open the door for them to have a little share of their god's kingdom.

Bros,
Service is so lucrative that even the uncalled can't help but jump in.
The other group are the called who butt in with a sense of entitlement. The demand recompense for all they left behind and for the prayers and fasting and the rigors of the job

If the spirit of god resides in only crooks, then everyone should be saying " no thanks " to that silly spirit.

I only criticise rich pastors who keep taking from their flock to enrich themselves even after they've been given enough. And to do it in God's name?

I like when pastors act and look posh
pastors are like role models
you aspire to be like them while achieving ur goals or aspire to be like them

my pastor has a degree in pharmacy from the US
been married for 20 years

looks well dressed, nice and acts sophisticated

when i see him, hes like a heavenly figure on earth
which everyone aspires to be like even greater

it wldnt be sweet, if he wore rags or does not have swag
