You got that right Mondo

I live in a small town and the Lutheran Preacher makes $125,000 per year.
And there are 5 churches in this town. I know this because my parents were on the board of commissioners.
Population 2107.
What the hell has Rome done to this world and gathering places for Christians?
(make merchandise of you) $$$$ Money money money MERCHANDISE of YOU....
2 Peter 2:1
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Sad but True.
Bro Tim.
