A Whole New Level of Apostolic Hero Worship

[MissBrattified]

It's a fun idea for a fundraiser. Nowhere on that website does it reference the ties being "highly anointed" or say anything that looks like hero worship. FYI, one of the ties listed belonged to a NC congressman.

While most of the church world has gone casual dressing up in suits and ties is still a big part of old time Pentecost culture so I don't have a problem with this as long as they are not presenting the ties like Ruth Reider Harvey Har Har does uncut hair. Which is as some sort of magical token.

I think for men who dress up a lot it is cool for them to be able to bid on a tie worn buy someone they admire as a way to raise money for a good cause.

I suppose on that note I would more than gladly wear a tie that was once worn by Harrison Ford.

I bet the sandals of peter would have brought a pretty penny into the coffers of the early church. Pauline peanut brittle would be a great money maker too.

Jesus said His church would be built upon monetary gimmickry, didn't he?

Even the early church needed money. Stuff costs money.

Why did the early church need money?

Because things liek food cost money. Helping the poor and orphans wasn't free. Perhaps you missed when Paul wrote to the other churches saying he was in need and they took a collection for him. Prolly cost money to travel to new lands on missions, both for Paul and the others.

Really...what didn't, or still doesn't, cost money? Even if you only meet in homes there is still cost somewhere that must be paid for by either the host alone or the church as a whole.
