My Question was not to ask you if you were guilty of a crime. I asked you would you be guilty of the same sin he was for taking money meant to do God's work and use it for his own personal gain?
If you do not want to answer the conditions of my question, know that i am not requiring you to do so. Meaning you don't need to get defensive and try and dismiss what I asked. Next time Simply remain silent, and I won't even know you read what I wrote.
I already answered the question.
If by "sin" you mean being immoral - then sure, the pastor is guilty of that. If by "sin" you mean "going against god's will" - then that's obviously a bullshit argument.
The reason why the pastor is considered immoral is because he took the church's money which should've gone for the church's work for his own personal gain. The "sin" - as you call it - would've been the same if he worked for an oil company and he took the money belonging to the company. That's the moral of the story you seem to have missed. He is not guilty of misappropriating funds meant for an imaginary god's work, he is guilty of misappropriating funds that were not his.
And this is why your question falls flat. In your example, you did not give the money to an organization I represent, you gave it to me. So, I get to do whatever I want with it.
