God doesn't but the pastor has to eat presumably.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Maybe the pastor should get a job working every day but Wednesday and Sunday?

Sounds like the landlord issue to me.

[-] mayonaise_met@feddit.nl 2 points 11 months ago

What's happening on Wednesday?

[-] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

A lot of churches have small group gatherings, youth church, or other similar events on Wednesdays, while the main service is on Sundays.

[-] mayonaise_met@feddit.nl 1 points 11 months ago

Thanks.

It's when they groom the kids. Oops I mean youth group.

Wednesday gathering. Mine did it. Umm kinda like an after school program. My most distinct memory of it is the ping pong balls would keep on vanishing so it would be just a table.

God will provide, I'm sure.

Technically you're right, but that example (moses and the others in the wild) is from the old testament which doesn't even apply to Christians. Christians are only to follow the new testament.

Didn't jesus say that he did not come abolish the law of the prophets (aka the old testament)?

[-] havokdj@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

See that's kind of the thing right? The bible does a lot of back and forth on this shit where the old testament matters one second and then it doesn't the next, but that's aside the point.

Jesus himself did say this, but god rid many of the rules before that as well, so technically that would mean they would be the law of the prophets as well.

One big change for instance is the requirement of a sacrifice to worship god, yet this was changed in the new testament with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Yes, some laws before apply such as the ten commandments, but those are also a part of the new testament, they can have overlap.

So what you're saying is that it's all a bunch of nonsense.

[-] havokdj@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Obviously

[-] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 5 points 11 months ago

Why doesn't God just rain manna on the priest like the old days?

[-] havokdj@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Old testament doesn't apply to Christians

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Budget cuts. Try next heaven business quarter.

[-] JollyTheRancher@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Pastors must eat extremely well

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I'm confused now. So if the money goes to God, and God has to eat flesh, then...

So many questions...
