I suppose that is one human way of looking at it.

But, what did they do in Bible times? Did God ever allow a nation to overthrow a wicked king who was living on the donations of the people?

Did God ever sanction a New Testament assembly to "vote out" or "Run out of town on a rail" a pastor?

I agree with you that it's a tremendous injustice when the above situation happens, and I have stated for the record repeatedly that I do NOT agree with a pastor doing this.

However, my position boils down to one simple question:

WHAT IS THE BIBLICAL WAY OF DEALING WITH THIS????????

I don't want your opinion, I want some scripture.

(And by the way, a true Christian knows that once they've given their money to the church, it's not their money any more anyway, it's God's, and God will deal with those who misuse it)
