We will look at the verses surrounding all the wage verses, and than see an interconnection of themes with respect to the wage of the final message to humanity.
So much blah blah blah about I-don't-know-who paying Mo some wage?!
And those verses don't even seem to follow on to what you say. You seem to be saying that Mo asked for such wages, while other prophets didn't.... but those verses seem to hint that no wage is due... except for some spiritual thing... So... it's the same as nothing?
Anyway, the sentence I quoted above is the one that caught my eye the most...
Why the need for "helpers"?
Why would the all mighty god need humans?
Why should anyone trust those who claim to be such "helpers"? What makes these people trustworthy, and not charlatans?
Why would we need the message to be carried and interpreted by a human vessel?
What does god need with a helper?
What does god need with an interpreter?
What does god need with a message holder?
What does god need with a book?
