Tell me, what has changed since Christ returned to the Father?bibleman wrote:[image]https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/ ... 9e12f89fd8[/image]
Here is my type of Pastor!
2 Corinthians. 11:23, Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
24, Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
25, Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
26, In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27, In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
28, Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
Sadly, many; v. 13, "are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ."
The world is full of them! The majority of pastors, ministers, and priests that I thought were ministers of God were all living in luxury while the brethren not only starved and lived in poverty, these poor widows and the elderly paid tithes? And the church took the money!
I refuse to pray for the likes of those!
