Here is an interesting remarks from F.K.C. Price:

Frederick K.C. Price states: "The Bible says that He [Jesus] had a treasurer-a treasury (they called it "the bag"); that they had one man who was the treasurer, named Judas Iscariot; and the rascal was stealing out of the bag for three-and-a-half years and nobody knew that he was stealing. You know why? Because there was so much in it, He couldn't tell. Nobody could tell that anything was missing..., if Jesus didn't have anything, what do you need a treasury for? A treasury is for surplus. It's not for that which you're spending. It's only for surplus-to hold it until you need to spend it. Therefore, He must have had a whole lot that needed to be held in advance that He wasn't spending. So He must have had more than He was living on."

well what did he need a lot of money for? he could feed thousands with 5 loaves .. didn't even have to pay for a boat ride. just went ahead and walked on water

amen .. that's what i keep repeating. a church IS a business. it's a social organization, needs financing. and like any other, corruption happens. corruption is the issue, not being a business. nothing wrong with it.

a business can't run without money. so yeah, religion IS business.

kung gusto mo nga madato
pagtukod mo ug simbahan
kamo ang pastor unya apili sad
ug shabu para samot kadako ang income

the God of the church is so all-powerful, all-knowing, but can't seem to handle well with money.

a business can't run without money. so yeah, religion IS business.

Real Masters never charge for their services, nor do they accept payment in any form or any sort of material benefits for their instructions. This is a universal law among Masters, and yet it is an amazing fact that thousands of eager seekers in America and elsewhere, go on paying large sums of money for "spiritual instruction.". Masters are always self-sustaining. They are never supported by their students or by public charity.

that's where you draw the line between Masters and entrepreneurs.

so is it fair?
you blame to GOD all the mishandlin of CHURCHES today?
have it ever come in to your mind for just a second if the churches youre referring to is not basing with the doctrine of GOD?

Its not because these church claims that they are from GOD doesn't mean they really from GOD and the GOD of ABRAHAM, ISAAC and JACOB is really their GOD.

Read Matthew 24 (whole chapter) for you to have an idea, its just an suggestion if you like.

give you an situation:

is it fair if I'm going to publish in the newspaper bearing your name and its not what you've said and I'm just using your name and people will believe of blame you for what I've published?

or it is fair if the people who read my published article checked if its really from you and you've really said it?

Peace!
