The ones that got wealthy from investments without taking a dime...do you mean they got rich before becoming pastors?

That's great...after becoming Pastors do they accept donations and tithe from the flock and keep it for personal use or do they redirect it to others who are not rich and in dire need of financial help?

Jas 2:5 Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?
