Now, I don't care if one makes money off of it, if the congregation is willing to pay him. Whatever, that's their business.

But, I do know which one I have more respect for.....................

I agree Dave. I have no respect for a "preacher" who makes his living off of preaching. The religion I was raised in did not do such things. I explained this to a few folks I work with and they said "how did he make money", my reply, "He went to work at a job like you and I".

Sickening to see some of the salaries that folks make off preaching......
