    There’s another verse of the bible that says “all things are possible with god”

    However…One thing the bible is pretty consistently against is liars, cheaters and thieves.

    To be a mega-church preacher, you need to be a liar a cheater, and you need to know how to run a scam, so that would fall under the category of a thief.

    “Give me all of your money and god will cure your cancer!” obvious scam and a lie.

    “Give me all of your money and god will make your credit card debt vanish” is another thing I’ve seen mega-church types say.

    The one time Jesus was ever violent was when he flipped tables and used a whip to get all the merchants out of the church. But under 100% of other situations, he literally wouldn’t fight anyone even if they attacked him unprovoked.

    Does that sound like the kind of guy that wants a church to be a for-profit business? Mega-churches claim they’re non-profit, but all of them live in giant mansions and own multiple private jets and multiple cars that each cost more money that I’ve ever earned in my life.

    I’m non-religious, but I’m more in line with what Jesus wanted people to do than 99% of self proclaimed Christians.

      99% of self proclaimed Christians hate megachurches.

      Anyway, I think with “all things are possible with God” really means if God consents to it, as Jesus said when praying: “Thy will be done”
