Just curious, how are Christians categorized on a credit app? Unless someone puts down as their profession something to do with religion, how would you know their religous beliefs?

I try to share who I am and what I believe even in my job situation, because of this other Christians will share about their lives. If they choose to get a set of cookware (hence" Panhandler") through financing I have to take an app. The app does not ask but if they have shared....

I notice it's the Pastors and spouses of small churches with small church mentality that are for the Communist way of paying the Pastors. (Equal for all.) Let's hear from the Pastor of a medium or large congregation (500+) and see what s/he has to say.


You might be on the wrong board to here from such a Pastor. I will say though that I find your theory interesting. Is it that you expect that those who have more want more, or believe they should recieve more?

I hope I have mis read you!

It is great you home church has done what it should be doing.
I hope you are going to do the same with your $468,000 a year. $8000 a week. If you just gaive $100,000 it to another church this year and they grew like you did, and you could do the same next year, and they could in three years, and you could and the next church could. There would be no church on a mountain somewhere who could not pay a pastor. As a matter of fact. The need has been presented on this very thread. Do I hear $10,000 to keep the chuerch on the mountaintop!

I thank god for your testimony and what has been done to help your ministry, but there are people suffering who no one is helping. some churches in the sames denominations who have large CD accounts while there brothers are pastoring below the poverty line.

I am not a Pastor of a small church. I don't pastor any church. Feed the pastor!
