It would be nice, if you backed your statements with scriptures.

‘…things like money, that we highly value, aren’t valued highly by God’ Should we really believe, that Almighty God who lives in heaven, where the streets are paved with gold, does not value money or wealth? No one is saying that Jesus was filthy rich, but there is also no indication, that He...

The ground is now under a curse, because of you… - Genesis 3:17 If the ground or earth, came under the curse, after Adam sinned, that means there was no curse in the earth, before Adam sinned. This also meant that everyone born the natural way after Adam , would be born in sin and therefore...

You can operate like that with a small church or ministry, but not when you have mega numbers.

You are correct that many years passed in between, but God’s Word and blessings does not change with time. So, if God blessed other people before Jesus, why is it unreasonable to speculate, that Jesus may have been blessed also. Why would God bless so many other people in the Bible and skip or...

When people support a ministry or church, it is not necessarily because the preacher is destitute and could not survive without them. There is no record to indicate that Jesus and His disciples would have starved to death, without the help of the women. After all Jesus launched His ministry...

How many people would be willing to use their house as a church, these days, with all the inconvenience that comes with it? Back then the church was just starting out and had not really grown, so in the absence of church buildings, homes were the alternative, but not for long, as numbers grew.

Can you seriously run a church, without money?

Please accept my apologies for the confusion. I should have been more specific in my questions, from the beginning.

In the real world, whether religious or secular institutions or operations, they both need money to function.

You are entitled to your opinions and conclusions, however without solid basis. I said, ‘If some of the fishermen used their own boats….’ I did not say, ‘some of the fishermen used their own boats…’. The key word is ‘If’ . My statement was speculative and not definitive. They may have or they...

I did not move any goal posts! Standing in a boat to preach for a while is not the same as using the boat to travel. The Bible does not tell us, which boats or whose boat Jesus used for traveling.

The scripture you have cited talks about Jesus using one of the fishermen’s boats for preaching and not for traveling? I’m not aware of any scripture, that specifically says, Jesus used any fisherman’s boat for travel? Since the Bible is not clear on this, you can only guess and your guess is...

‘if’ means we do not know, whether Jesus used the fishermen‘s boats or not in His ministry? We do not know, if Jesus rented the boats or purchased the boats, that He used? And we do not know, if the boats belonged to other followers or supporters of Jesus?

If some of the fishermen used their own boats for the ministry, that would require even more compensation from Jesus?

That’s a possibility!

It would be very helpful, if you read my whol It is very easy to quote scripture and try to make it mean whatever you wish, but context also matters in understanding scripture. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake, He became poor, that you...
