I'd say that is probably a fair assessment of how many people see the situation, in light of passages such as:

Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. - Luke 12:33-34

Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you. - Luke 6:30-31

I would say that we should be careful not to judge the individuals mentioned in the original post. The teachings of Jesus quoted above apply to all Christians (i.e., ourselves), not just pastors. I'm sure we could all give a bit more to those in need.

People cant be expected to give away every penny, some of the people in the list may well have given away ten times as much as what they are listed with. I'm more concerned about the extremely wealthy Nigerian ministers and how they amassed wealth in a country where the average church goer has very little money.

No disagreement, but a person who has already given large amounts, but still possesses luxurious mansions and automobiles and flies first class, could give more without encountering any hardship. Again, this is an issue for all of us, not just those in the original post.

Yeah, I wondered about that too, Colonel.

Does that mean that you got back up over the zero line again for the third time ?
