    I like to quote them Luke 3:11:

    John replied, “If you have two shirts, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry.”

    There are so many “ two shirt christians” out there. Hypocrites all.

    This is actually how the megachurches justify themselves. The "lay money at the feet of the apostles" is now "give me your money"

      yeah because the ken copeland types love to fancy themselves as apostles as they fly around in private jets... but old jeezy already rejected them for that:

      Beware of the officials who like to walk around in long robes, and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets! They devour widows' houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers.

    My favorite Bible story is when a guy sold his house and donated half his money to the early church he was joining but then he got smited for only giving half the money
