The Thief Inside The Church

One living good example of a thief written in the Bible is the story of Judas Iscariot.

John 12:4-6 But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

Members of the Church are taught to share with generosity.

2 Timothy 3:17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Galatians 6:6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

The shared money is called the Holy things or Holy offerings.

As such, when used for personal consumption or sustenance or anything that is not lavish or excessive can make the one using it holy, on the assumption that the user is clean.

Leviticus 22:3 Say to them: ‘Whoever of all your descendants throughout your generations, who goes near the holy things which the children of Israel dedicate to the LORD, while he has uncleanness upon him, that person shall be cut off from My presence: I am the LORD.

Answer: If used for the purpose of preaching the gospel, then yes, it is definitely holy.

To simplify the answer, any action associated with the holy thing of preaching His gospel unto all nations is holy and thus acceptable to all members of the Church.

Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Unholy, are those greedy pastors, ministers, priests who are polluted by the world and uses the Holy thing for their own personal gain.
