When we embrace our own faith and learn about it (ie buy the same books the Pastor has research his sermons) what they say is what they say. I disagree with my pastor but I wouldn't get hot because he bought a big house! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 6:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Reverend Wright's Million Dollar Retirement Home]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/31/reverend-wrights-million-dollar-retirement-home/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/31/reverend-wrights-million-dollar-retirement-home/</guid><description><![CDATA[When I said "What they say..." I mean when you learn something you're no longer vulnerable. You know the truth and no one, not even pastor and tell you different. That's our problem we look to people to be more than they are. Yeah he's got a million dollar house but so what? You think he's doing it with the offerings? If so that's his soul and life on 20/20!

And if all you've seen of him is a few 30 second Youtube clips, then I don't think you are qualified to comment on the 28+ years that preceded those clips.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan Isaacs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 4th 2008 7:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Reverend Wright's Million Dollar Retirement Home]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/31/reverend-wrights-million-dollar-retirement-home/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/31/reverend-wrights-million-dollar-retirement-home/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wright's speech was inspired by Ambassador Edward Peck, who was chief of the U.S. mission to Iraq under President Carter.

Wright is my pastor I felt inclined to comment. When you give 30+ years of your life to a profession what's wrong with being given a gift. Preachers don't live lifestyles of grandness when compared to corporate head honchos. If we as the church chose to show our thanks by buying him a house, so be it!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Trey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 1st 2008 5:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Reverend Wright's Million Dollar Retirement Home]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/31/reverend-wrights-million-dollar-retirement-home/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/31/reverend-wrights-million-dollar-retirement-home/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually it does, it all depends on what burb you buy in.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Trey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 1st 2008 5:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Reverend Wright's Million Dollar Retirement Home]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/31/reverend-wrights-million-dollar-retirement-home/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/31/reverend-wrights-million-dollar-retirement-home/</guid><description><![CDATA[So, big deal!

I don't see the difference. I am sure everybody at Trinity United Church of Christ isn't living in a $1 million home with an elevator. I imagine you have many living in poverty. Like he has stated about megapreachers. "Couldn't the money be used elsewhere to feed the poor.<br><br>But of course.

I'd bet He'd rebuke them harshly for being of the world.  He'd probably then sell the home and buy a more modest one, giving the difference to help those in need.  How sad that His disciples today want treasures in this world instead of the world to come.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 5:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Reverend Wright's Million Dollar Retirement Home]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/31/reverend-wrights-million-dollar-retirement-home/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/31/reverend-wrights-million-dollar-retirement-home/</guid><description><![CDATA[WRIGHT IS NO DIFFERENT, THE OTHER PASTORS DO THE SAME THING, ONLY THEY KEEP IT IN THE NEIBORHOOD.
