That there are people who take advantage of others in the name of religion and in the name of Christianity is a given, but it is not something Jesus taught.
but do you deny the college professors who teach all out lies and anarchy their salary? I bet you don't !
Everyone is in the water as creatures of the sea and this is why we have so many examples of being taken from the water as Noah, as Moses, as Jonah, as the whole nation of Israel born through the water, and Paul received fish scales over his eyes in symbolism. The great sea of Solomon is there for people to be taken from the water and the temple design illustrates a sea creature of water that becomes a creature of air.
Fishers of Men is what Ezekiel is speaking of when the waters proceed from the temple and fishers will cast their nets in that water and pull many from the waters, and this has already taken place and is taking place. That water that proceeded from the temple has a mind of it's own to curse other waters or to bless them as it goes.

What is a "fisher of men" than someone who doesn't have to do manual work anymore?
Of course there is an appeal for material wealth for anyone who has been "saved" from reading the gospels. Didn't Jesus later on tell them to go out and "fish" for men in order to pay the taxes (with a valuable coin), since they were all considered children of the king?
In other words, anyone who has converted or been "born again" after reading the gospels has done so out of greed.
Even more greedy is anyone who has been "called" to ministry after reading the gospels.
Fishers of men= Luke 10--Acts 20:20-- It does not stop until the end. Matt 24:14
wow. I'm sorry for whatever has been done to you. Seriously.
I know for a fact my pastor makes 1/2 what he used to make. He did not do it for money, nor am I in it for money. In fact, I give a large portion of my salary to my church and to other charities.
No one has done anything. I just read the entire Bible and understood the original meaning.
Okay, I'll admit I exaggerated to prove a point. Obviously, not all ministers and believers are doing it for financial reward. I even respect the things that Christian churches are doing, as in any faith tradition. But I will never respect the dogmas that are clearly being ridiculed in their own "scriptures".

Apparently, it wasn't directed at anyone?
