And who are you to judge what another person does with their lives?

Each and every one of us answers to GOD for what we do.

There's not enough information in the article for you to pass judgment on his life and it's not your place to anyway.

As for working for a living? How is being a pastor worse than sucking off the government teat as a *researcher* doing research on government grants?

And I was joking.

Yeah, right. That's what the bully says every time he's caught red handed and wants to weasel out of responsibility for what he said or did. Then it's everybody else's fault because they didn't get it and have no sense of humor anyway. Classic blame shifting....

Uhhh . . . let me think . . .

The pastor gets paid by voluntary contributions from his flock?

You can always tell the person who hasn’t had the 2 Cor 5:17 change happen, because they can’t understand it in others, and continue to judge them by their “before” life, because the unchanged person is STILL in their “before” life.

I don't work off government grants metmom, although I know what high regard you have for science and the myriad benefits it has brought to people in terms of application and discovery - and the high respect you have for scientists!

Thanks!

I will pray for you.
