I didn't call you biased for your simple reading of scripture. (Actually, my reading was simpler than yours.) I called you biased because you can only see things one way. You get like this sometimes. You act like you know more than you do.
I understand your point of view, but you haven't tried to understand what I'm saying.
That shows me you have a bias. You haven't given my points fair consideration.
But you seem to think you know what is the acceptable lifestyle a minister should have. Have you ever considered that you really don't? That's part of my point.
My wife made a statement about you. She said,
I'll bet if he got blessed like Meyer did, he'd be buying some nice things for his family, too.
Think about it. God gives you a $40-$60 million windfall from books that
you wrote. Don't you think you'd think God wants you to be rich?
