Good question, Jen. It is easily proven and I have in many messages. Now the reason 'they' take up offerings is they are of the beast. They have the 'love' of money, which is the root of all evil.
They are doing what they do purely for the money. 'preaching' and 'singing' has become the most outrageously priced 'profession' in this world. It is not fit to be called a profession, but it is certainly not fit to be called anything else, either.
God does not deal with money; satan does. God said , come BUY without PRICE AND WITHOUT MONEY.
He said you cannot 'buy or sell' except, or unless you have that mark of the beast. .....means they are 'marked' that they belong to her or have that evil spirit.
A true person of God cannot and will not take pay for doing his work for God, because he is doing it out of love for God, and a hope for eternal reward.
If they take pay, that is their reward, and they will be damned for they have taken the mark of the beast. Of course, 'they' all deny this, in order to keep the people deceived and PAYING them to do their little 30 minute sermonete.
They will all say they do not do it for money, but let everyone quit paying them, and see how long they would hang around and 'pastor' that 'church'?????
Now don't get me wrong, it is not wrong to give a love gift to anyone. But it must not be for the purpose of paying a man to preach or sing or make music for 'worship'. for then it becomes mark of the beast. If you PAY, it is in your hand. If you take pay, it is in your head. that simple.
These churches in our land today or of satan. Satan's seat is in the church. that is why they deal with money and merchandize against the command of Jesus. Make not my Father's house a house of MERCHANDIZE.
Taking up 'offerings' is NOT OF FAITH. We are all called to minister. But these fake ministers, heirlings, have deceived people into thinking it is only a 'special' few, for the purpose of getting that money.
For instance, my sister told me a few days ago that she paid her pastor $100.00 for his little 15 minute speach at her husband's funeral. She paid his wife $50.00 for playing one song at his funeral. High pay for a few minutes 'work', would't you say? Yet she thinks they are SOOOOOOO wonderful and loving. I say if they did it out of love, they would not take pay for it. I mean after all, that church pays them big time for a 30 minute speach on Sunday.
How bout a man who gets $65,000.00 a year for a few minutes speech each Sunday? I know of this and even guess there are those who get more. Out of proportion? You bet.
But even one dollar in PAY disannuls it as a work for God.
