In India temples are richer than churches. I searched the wealth of top 10 Indian temples. Many have not disclosed their wealth and many have wealth in the form of gold and land. I calculated a number that is more than $1 trillion. I have seen people in front of my eyes donating gold bricks and diamonds anonymously in a famous temple once. These temples can solve the problem of poverty in India if they want but won't.
Bro you are right in every religion across the globe they are adopting the same module, lets stop this nauncse. we pledge to feed hungry and needy nt these religious contractors lets spread ths msg across,
Most of these 'rich' temples are controlled and practically owned by the government. 90% of their revenue goes to the state treasury and the most basic necessities for the functioning of temples are rationed by babus sitting in some tier 1 cities and the priests get remuneration to the amount of a few hundred rupees per month & most people do that job only out of respect to their ancestral traditions. Get your knowledge and facts right before you try to show off that you are woke and crap
@@alux While it is true that many religious figures such as Robert Tilton, Peter Popoff, Mike Murdoch, and Creflo Dollar take advantage of tax exemptions, ignorance, and desperation to legally scam people, many religious figures and organizations establish charities, hospitals, schools, community gardens, and other community service facilities, which usually rely on volunteer work. During the Dark Ages, it was the Church that held European civilization together politically through spirituality although some kings were condemned as heretical such as Frederick II of the Holy Roman Empire during the 13th century. It was also the Church that established banking systems such as those of the Templars as well as universities. During the Middle Ages, the Church granted loans that were interest free as usury is condemned throughout Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism although it was John Calvin who changed its meaning for his benefit. Such loans had late fees and beneficial terms for the church to profit such as percentages and discounted services. By the way, the New Testament does not condemn wealth, but rather dishonesty and apathy, which is commonly displayed by the don't-ask-questions rich as is seen in James 5, 1 Timothy 6, Luke 18, and Matthew 25. Many white collar criminals and violent criminal leaders feign charity to cheat on taxes as well as to establish positive community relationships.
Money is not evil - The love of money that leads you into committing sin is. Money can be used to help the poor, feed the hungry, help the ministry, research about medicines, and etc. But it can be also used to corrupt government officials, slavery, drugs, create weapons of mass destructions, and etc. The Bible was not against money in the first place, it just gave us a warning that too much focus on money may corrupt you, leading you to commit sin. The end doesn't justify the means. So if you sin so you can have money, and then give it to the poor, that is still a sin. You can earn money without committing sin in the first place. I'm not here to bash this video or anything, I just wanna express our standpoint as a Christian who is also into business. Yes, I am a Christian and I also want to be a successful CEO in the future just like you. Let's spread love and advices, and stop blaming religion for everything. Seriously.
That's an interesting topic, we'll think about it! 'til we decide to make you can check out our video on 15 things to do before you're 30 and see if you crossed those :)

Catholic Priests sign an oath of poverty. The Catholic Church is rich as a church but individual priest depends totally on the church. Pentecostals and Protestants are different from Catholics
@Kowalski Penguin Men become catholic priests because of all the material comforts but can't live the celibacy life. They marry and have children in other countries far from where they are known. The few who can't live this double life commit all type of unimaginable atrocities. In all, there are people doing the right thing but no denomination of church is the most perfect. God only, I believe, knows his own people.
Ya that's true they do give up there riches but for giving up all there riches they can have all the little boys they want. Dont worry when they are cought the pope will cover it all up.
"SEED". Thank you Alux this is such a wonderful and eye opening video I am from India. After watching this video my phrase just fells real I always say 'Help the Needy not the Greedy' Thank you once again for sharing the truth.
Seed! @Alux am from Nigeria but live in the UK, oh boy...... The way NIGERIANS are serious about religion, I have no choice but to DITCH it for GOOD! This is your BEST VIDEO so far. Thanks.
thank's for being so honest with this one priest was investing in the stock market and then telling his congregation to live in poverty I walked out of this church ever since some times it takes some time to wake up but we all need to to see what's really going on why should we live in poverty when they aren't
Jesus is Lord. He paid tax to the government during his time and taught his disciples to do thesame. Jesus is Love. He taught his disciples to take care of the less privileged not take advantage of them. Jesus is a prophet. He taught us that this false prophets will come in the end time. There is nothing wrong with christianity because the true Christians are like Christ but there are impersonators and we've been forewarned. I am happy that you mentioned that churches have done great things for their communities...churches are still doing great things for their communities.
Tee Oguns it’s not just “the end time” the church has been a business profiting off of the poor since the beginning. Like Tupac said...”why do I need to be in a gold mega church to talk to God?” (Paraphrased)
@@markmunyui Tupac was a wise man you don't need to become a member of a church or a religious organization to communicate with God. What you need is a personal relationship. The aim of the church was to teach, encourage, support, strenghten the downtrodden and the poor I believe. Like in everything else, the wrong people get all the attention.
The sad thing is, all the negativity about the church these days, would be avoided if people would actually READ THIER BIBLES! Here are just a few examples: 1) God doesn’t need you to buy him real estate. He owns the whole earth. (Psalm 24:1-3) 2) God doesn’t need your money, it already belongs to him ( Haggai 2:8) 3) God doesn’t need you to establish his kingdom. He has promised to do it himself. ( Isaiah 63:5) ( Isaiah 9:6-7) 4) God wants you to work and be productive ( proverbs 6:9, Ecclesiastes 9:10) 5) God approves of saving and investing your money ( proverbs 13:11, Mathew 25:27, Ecclesiastes 11:1-2) 6) God is the one who actually allows you to become wealthy ( Deuteronomy 8:18) 7) God has told us exactly how he wants us to be like here on earth. ( Micah 6:8) 8) God hates it when people try to buy anything from him with money ( Acts 8:19-24) 9) God approves of charity and of helping out the poor and less fortunate ( 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, Isaiah 1:17, psalm 82:3) 10) Salvation and Grace are FREE! ( Ephesians 2:8-9) READ THE TEXT!!! ( Hosea 4:6)
In Greece church has a net worth of about 100B euros ($120B), the GDP of the country is 185B euros, crazy!!!! Great video guys!! I absolutely love it, congratulations (for the courage)!!!
I love this channel. It is inspiring and informative but as a protestant Christian minister I'd love to educate you guys on this subject. Here are a few questions as food for thought. 1. How much money do you think Jesus received and gave away? 2. Do you believe that he Jesus was wealthy? 3. Does God want you to live in poverty or as He does in abundance (according to how you treat your money)? 4. Is being wealthy a sin? 5. How wealthy were the priest and kings in the Bible?
Rosten Riley kindly put some of those your answers under your questions...it’s always good to know your own perspective on the questions you are asking as well.
This prosperity gospel and Roman Catholic Church. Not biblical Christianity, anyone who reads the Bible would know questioning everything and searching for truth is encouraged. Anyone who prays upon those who are emotionally or physically vulnerable is ABSOLUTELY contrary to the Bible.
IG: baltimark One main verse I go to is Acts 17:11. The Apostle Paul says that the people in the church in Berea were more noble than in another church because they listened to their preaching, but after went to he scripture to see if what they were saying the Bible said is actually what it said. This is a good short summary to answer your question. It is not my work but is helpful. intervarsity.org/sites/default/files/biblical_basis_of_asking_questions.pdf
M Saikumar those who killed scientists weren’t interpreting the Bible accurately. God wants us to learn how the universe works and has gifted some with a scientific mind to explore.
Then it's not a problem my friend.The concern of people like us is only about those gold digging bitchy pastors who prey on innocent people just for their own benefits and create rifts among sections of people just for their selfish goals.
Alux.com I like your channel very much because it is one of my favorite channels on TH-cam. I think you have missed it in the clickbait, it is not the will of God for preachers and the so called men of God to have or buy private Jets. God does not necessarily care about the material world. The message God cares about, and wants to be preached and taught, is the message of his love of salvation and of the cross.
My first bill I ever received was from my church..... I was 11 years old.... and they wanted me to pay $100 to them by the end of the year as my portion of an offering. When I asked my Sunday school teacher about it, she said that it's my job to find ways to raise that money to give to the church, by either mowing lawns, walking dogs, etc..... yeah......
My personal belief is that God is in our hearts.Not because some preachers said so.Being kinder to one another is what would God want us all.And if I have extra money,I prefer giving to children or elderly on the streets because I know they deserve a little bit of love and care in this life.And by the way I am born catholic too.All the way from the Philippines here.Thank you Alux, your videos inspires me every time.
I can relate to this video so much..in India there are plenty of Hindu temples that are so rich that they have assets in Kilos of gold but still they chose to decorate the statues in the temples rather than feeding the poor..Rich country rich religion but the uneducated masses are still poor.
Bravo, Alux!! I tremendously admire your candor, research, courage, and the willingness to improve all of our lives, even if some of the sheep in the flock don't want to hear it. Seed !
Clear your mind. You're trying to associate a particular look with a form of speech. I think that's quite a skewed imagination. HOT!? An ironical paradox for a calmly collected persona
These ministries run on DONATIONS, so if you are not donating to them, then it is really none of your business what they do with their money or anything else. Our governments piss away more money in a day than these ministries will get in a century- yet no one does anything about that. It's hypocritical to say that a CEO or politician, or rock star, royalty, are entitled to have and use planes for whatever they want, but a minister that travels to preach doesn't deserve money or the tools to travel. Personally, I'm glad to see some people using technology for something honorable, like ministry. They have used planes to transport food and medical supplies to areas for disaster relief. Kenneth Copeland, who is featured on the opening of this video, has given away more planes, money and food than most governments to help people. It's easy for hate filled bigots to throw stones at people working to spread ideas that help people. Just look at so many people down voting Alux for spreading their messages that are to help people, even if they sometimes rub people the wrong way. Alux- don't be the same kind of hater that you preach against.
Thanks for this content. Here in Nigeria🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 the so called men of GOD are becoming GOD themselves.There's this new trend of every mega church owing a University that are so expensive that the members of the church can't afford to attend 🤣🤣🤣.
Definitely adding this video to my "Favorites" list. Awesome stuff! Oh and I'll be sharing it with a few religious fanatics as well. Haha. Thanks for the great content guys!
When people say “the Church,” I almost always cringe because I know that in their minds, if they are not actually referencing the universal body of believers in Christ Jesus, then they are using “the Church” in reference to the Catholic Church, which has been corrupt over time. But I want people to know that I am a believer in Jesus and His resurrection, but I am not Catholic. My church does not teach “religion,” it talks about faith and real life issues, operating in purpose while serving God and our fellow man, how to see various life challenges/obstacles as opportunities to grow outside of your comfort zone, how we should treat people with love and respect regardless of their backgrounds, etc. We do give money, but that money actually goes back into helping people in the community, not to help make one or a few leader(s) rich. The members of my church who serve on various teams love to volunteer in the community and they are not putting on a fake front to show off. Our pastor is one of the realest, down-to-earth pastors you could ever see preach the Gospel, and he wants people to be educated and healthy and fit and to think for themselves, not dumbed down by religious jargon and weird cult-like dogma. I wish people would distinguish between “religion” and “faith.” I have seen people’s lives get transformed because of faith in Jesus. They will admit they are not perfect, but they have grown in compassion, love, and grace. My church is very modern. No we don’t preach that people can buy their way into Heaven via “indulgences.” That’s all Catholic nonsense. They teach other things I don’t agree with too. Please separate that kind of rhetoric from other modern churches that are actually making a difference in the communities and don’t have pastors who fly around in private jets, etc.
alux never criticize Church only if u want ur company to continue to survive. Church or the people (Pastors) are SPIRITUAL.... personally i luv and enjoyed alux channel and i want it to continue. tx
It makes me sad that I once had a dream of being a pastor as a retirement career. I had noble motives. It was this side of it that started me questioning. It was studying the religion itself that made me turn my back. Now that I see it all as nonsense I've realized that my cozy retirement career is not going to happen. I feel like I should have made teaching my retirement goal instead. It would have been a great way to give back after a great career. And yet it's my current career. Fortunately, I'm still young enough to rethink my life, even if I'm old enough that I will pay a high price for those choices. And, no, I won't be pursuing a career as a rich preacher. I'd like to make some money, but I won't do it that way. I'd rather stay a poor teacher than make my money on religion. Where I live, there are no megachurches, but religion is uncomfortably wealthy. And the word "seed" is a gross part of religion. Meanwhile education is not valued, and too many even despise it. Can't be teaching "that there evolution!" Now that I'm branching out, I realize that my life will be in opposite order. Teaching was my start. My end will be outside it. Kind of sad. I like my original vision, but the reality of religion betrayed it and shut me out of a wonderful alternative. Nevertheless, I'm glad that teaching will remain a part of my life, because I love doing it. It's a shame I got distracted by the idea of religious teaching. My kids will learn the value of humanity, not the value of religion. And hopefully they'll end up better off than I did.
My parents are Christians and my whole family. Ever since I was young, I never once believed in “god” I always believed in what I could see and control.
@@susans8308 Bullsiiiiittt The bible is full of Lies, Jesus was a ignorant dumbass who said a bunch of stuff that's wrong. Religion is on a downward trend.
Nope. Not part of your choir. If because of that jet, or that Bentley or a 32000 soft house at least one person found salvation; the price was a drop in the bucket, a literal big fat zero in comparison to the actual price paid in blood, not your blood, nor mine. So not our place to be the judge.
Thank you Alux. Interesting video. Thank you for opening our eyes on this. Everyone is free to believe in a religion or not, and have an opinion on anything. I am a Christian. Lord Jesus warned us there will be false prophets. False means counterfeit of true, so there are definitely genuine genuine prophets as well. The Bible is God’s Word that is full of people who had a personal experience with God, and is a guide to a Christlike life. I believe when we read it and ask for God discernment, it is difficult to be deceived and just blindly follow anyone that says « God said ». Also, not to defend these pastors, but some of them have written books and held seminars that have nothing to do with religion. The majority of their net worth might be out of those.
These people don't follow the teaching of the bible, before make a claim you need to search what the origins are and then make a difference between the origins and those who do evils
He delights in the prosperity of His servants..... The scripture is clear and transparent that the men of old such as Abraham, Isaac, Israel(Jacob), Job, Solomon, David were men substance, rich and were the richest of their time as a result of God's blessing and it didn't end there its still applies to this day and you are yet to see more of it whether you criticize or not it'll continue and even grow bigger at this latter time as you'll see the church growing richer and becoming more resourceful to aid the preaching of God's word to all corners of the globe.
see, we all are free to do anything we want but that does not mean you could insult religion and yes there are some who are not good but with this video, you are blaming those who are good and work for the better of others. donation is on you if you want to give it, it's fine but if you don't want to then don't. if you don't believe in god then try not to raise a question in the mind of others who do believe in god. we also have to see how much the church has done for others and those who have become rich with the help of church and religion (not the corrupt priest), you cant take few people who miss use religion and blame all, it's not right for anyone. religion has helped many who are in need. religion is there to guide you, so please alux, make a video on how to live a better life but not by hurting someone's religion. also, people remember that you are free to do whatever you want, even to follow a religion or don't, it's up to you but remember a religion has more to it then donation and expensive church. it holds more than you think and only if you follow it you will understand the real value of it, a video won't show you the reality, you have to find it. alux i love your video but this one was not something I expected from you, but all your other videos are very informative but not his one.
Yes.On the Contrary you put images of God's Generals.Dont you see it?Do you not have ears.God is mightily Working through these servants all for HIS Glory.But Nice Video, I Appreciate that Research on a Global Level
Surely you hold your beliefs strongly enough to withstand a little questioning. If not, you should address your own beliefs. As far as the idea that only a few people misuse religion, nonsense. In fact, I personally have had enough bad experiences with religious people that if they promote their personal self or their business by leading with their religion, such as Christian, I turn tail and run far and fast so I don't get screwed by them. The way I see it is that there are some amazingly wonderful people out there, but they're amazing in spite of their religion, not because of it.
In Ghana the churches are the ones cashing all the money, and this phenomenon has gotten to a level where leaders from other religious groups have either adopted the churches still of making money, or converted into Christianity because they want to be rich too
If you realize people who rich as an employees or marketing or businessman etc. Why not the pastora have to be rich ?? Examples in asia our church must be more good than sound system an CLUB have, music, lighting, interior etc. so, if young businessmen have a supercar why not the pastors have a jet or maybe yacht. For mega Churches it must!

Around the age of 8 I became an outright atheist shortly before becoming a pariah amongst my classmates and teachers in catholic class for “asking too many questions” 🤣, I hadn’t heard of atheism before and didn’t even know you could choose to not believe in god, everyone around me believed as tho it was a given. I went my own way and sought out real answers
I am Italian, so it's easy to guess how powerful and rich the church is here. It really is like a mafia, and one of the reasons why I am an atheist is that I don't like how corrupted the church is. Great video btw, very interesting!
As a committed, radical Bible believing Christian who was born Catholic, I find your take interesting, almost amusing but mostly sad. The validity of Christianity cannot be determined by the errors, deception and failures of false practitioners and fabulous fakes. It must based on the claims, teachings and lifestyle of it's founder Jesus of Nazareth. Being the largest and most influential religion it is bound to have in it's ranks both the best and the worst of humanity. You conflict the Medieval Roman Catholic Church with Christianity. That is like saying all Hollywood producers are pedophiles and sexual predators ( because of Polansky, Weinstein etc). That is like saying all Fund managers operate Ponzi schemes because Maddoff and more examples than can be listed here. I have two challenges for you: 1. I challenge you to a debate on this video and it's claims, the debate should be recorded and posted online alongside this one. That will prove that you are really interested in education not propaganda and/or brainwashing. 2. Do more videos of this kind for other religions. My suggestion is to do Islam next being the second largest religion and please take a dispassionate look at the history of Islam, not just on bad or fake Muslims but on the Founder and Prophet of Islam. Then look at all the other major religions of the world with the same standards that you have used for 'Christianity'. I really hope you do this. Thanks.
First channel or social media group about money I see that that touches religion as it is, a poor making machine, I recommed you to see the videos of Richard Dawkings, very alux, and very brave to speak about this without fear of losing some subscribers for this
You guys are looking at this black and white, don’t associate Gods word with modern day pastors. This is not what the Bible preachers AT ALL, Sam Harris unfortunately isn’t a better alternative as well...read the Bible without the stigma of “the church” attached to it..be a free thinker. Nothing is ever what it seems
Well... I'm a Muslim from Bangladesh. And I'm flabbergasted by this. We have a system of zakaat that is compulsory donations of 2.5% of your yearly income. It is just so we believe that the money we earn are not 100% pure (as in slacking of during work and what not) so we pay charity to those whom we know within our community. And help the poor. Many donate to mosque but it is not compulsory within the religion. But I can see that many might be scammed because of a lack of religious and "modern" education. Being charitable secretly is encouraged. Because many have more and some people might feel bad about having less. You donate to whomever you want, (pay their debts, buy them food or clothes or any type of help). Any 1 organisation is not involved. The mosques are separate and independent from each other. That being said, it is the model of how things should be, according to the religion. But things are far from perfect. People boast about charity to mosques but they are penniless when it comes to helping the poor. And as for education, Islam encourages knowledge and wisdom. It obviously encourages the knowledge of religion but from what I see is that it encourages scientific education more than other religions. Oh and BTW. .. seed. 😅😂
for the fact that we have fake dollar doesn't make the original non existing. it is disappointing to note that all you see is negativity in the ''Church" do more research and if you don't have any content to share it's ok to wait until you find something useful
Another great video as usual. The Golden Ticket story is a fake one tho with the crackhead couple (in the picture at 7:20) from FL, but there was a real pastor in Africa who was arrested for doing that very same thing. Loved the ending of this via the Bonus. Never knew China was building Mega Churches, learning something new is always a great thing. Thank you again Alux!
It is really bad to see that they targeted one faith without mentioning other ones though it is the same and people from other religions posting bad comments.
"Pay off your sins, and buy your way to heaven" is not actually Christianity. Those words are not in the Bible. They are in the Apocrypha, those extra books added to the bible. Even in making money, there are and will always be crooks. Salvation is for human beings of Soul, Spirit and Body (flesh). Satan is not a human being and so Even if he repents and is baptized, ...Hell still awaits him
Still don’t get what the objective of the video is. Anything wrong with being rich?? We all have our mission and the church follows its mission. That’s not a problem to paint as wrong. Religion brings sanity. The USA is departingfrom this and hope it will not be regretted. No sense of morality. The wrongs are being considered right and downplaying in the role of the church. God bless president Trump and God bless the church. I support the church
I actually agree with all the jets they have, and all the wealth as well. Them millions is an insignificant/small price paid in comparison to the purchase price of a saved soul; which would have been paid even for a single person of all humanity. So if all them $ billions with a “B” seem too much ......... look again the price is actually very very insignificant.
PHILIPPINES: There is a religion here called "IGLESIA NI KRISTO" were the church goes must declare their monthly salary and required to give 10 % to the church every sunday. They are also required to attend every gathering because attendance will be checked. i'm not sure with this one but I heared there is a penalty if you cannot attend a gathering .
I am from Serbia, and you can buy in regular supermarkets for very high price vines and different liquors produced and blessed in the Orthodox monasteries. And even they don't pay taxes, their products are more expensive than ones form regular companies.
I went to a Catholic Church and the priest (shout out to Father Hippie) but he was one of the only organized religious ppl I’ve ever respected. I saw him at a second hand store driving a crappy car. What happened to the vow of poverty.
Please read the full comment : Actually a person who is more intelligent and welthy they are more easy to control by religion because they understand things and don't have to worry about money . But if a person have only welth not intelligence the it's opposite . Because Why would our creator need money he can create infinitive number of planet like earth . It's the religion sellers who takes those money by the name of our creator If someone say about a religion that it's the best those people who are not from that religion insult or say bad things to them but a intelligent person wouldn't do that they will want evidence . There was a person in India from an minority religion of that country . Indian government spend more then 10 million dollars to stop him but no intelligent person can beat him and go agenst him . that's why lot's of people are leaving from majority religion of India . That's why religion sellers and Indian government tried to kill him According to the person's RELIGION ( Intelligent person will go to heaven first ) and our creator only want us to do the right thing , he gave us the power to think and find the Logic so that we can understand what's Right . Most of the cases a Intelligent Person can explain your religion more accurately then a person who looks so Religious
"Tirumala Tirupati" Temple in South India have 6 to 7 chambers underground which are full of Gold & Diamond jewellery. 4 chambers are opened till now calculate the assets of $ Trillion, still 2 chambers are yet to open.
You are right , but also there is the vatican 🇻🇦, it has secret archives which contains many information believed to be divine and sensitive, along with this with some sources it is said that the vatican contains all the loot they had since the roman empire which comes at the scale of more than 10 trillion dollars and more .
Actually I am Muslim . And we don't have give money to MOSQUE . In most of the places in Muslim country government take care of mosque . but in some place and in NonMuslim countries people individually take care of MOSQUE and give donation their way
Not once in my life have I been told I have to give money to the church that is something that if I choose to do I can do. And I will also say the church has helped me out when I was in need.
I need this video before they bring it down. I am from Nigeria, Pastors and Politicians are now associates. The poorer the Economy, the more patronage of false hope. Then the pastors keep their congregation hypnotized telling them "pray for your Nation and the leaders" (Corrupt and underperforming leaders). So don't bother, we are peaceful no revolt or revolution anytime soon.

@@alux While it is true that many religious figures such as Robert Tilton, Peter Popoff, Mike Murdoch, and Creflo Dollar take advantage of tax exemptions, ignorance, and desperation to legally scam people, many religious figures and organizations establish charities, hospitals, schools, community gardens, and other community service facilities, which usually rely on volunteer work. During the Dark Ages, it was the Church that held European civilization together politically through spirituality although some kings were condemned as heretical such as Frederick II of the Holy Roman Empire during the 13th century. It was also the Church that established banking systems such as those of the Templars as well as universities. During the Middle Ages, the Church granted loans that were interest free as usury is condemned throughout Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism although it was John Calvin who changed its meaning for his benefit. Such loans had late fees and beneficial terms for the church to profit such as percentages and discounted services.
By the way, the New Testament does not condemn wealth, but rather dishonesty and apathy, which is commonly displayed by the don't-ask-questions rich as is seen in James 5, 1 Timothy 6, Luke 18, and Matthew 25. Many white collar criminals and violent criminal leaders feign charity to cheat on taxes as well as to establish positive community relationships.
Money is not evil - The love of money that leads you into committing sin is.
Money can be used to help the poor, feed the hungry, help the ministry, research about medicines, and etc.
But it can be also used to corrupt government officials, slavery, drugs, create weapons of mass destructions, and etc.
The Bible was not against money in the first place, it just gave us a warning that too much focus on money may corrupt you, leading you to commit sin. The end doesn't justify the means. So if you sin so you can have money, and then give it to the poor, that is still a sin. You can earn money without committing sin in the first place.
I'm not here to bash this video or anything, I just wanna express our standpoint as a Christian who is also into business. Yes, I am a Christian and I also want to be a successful CEO in the future just like you. Let's spread love and advices, and stop blaming religion for everything. Seriously.

Catholic Priests sign an oath of poverty. The Catholic Church is rich as a church but individual priest depends totally on the church. Pentecostals and Protestants are different from Catholics
Chibike Echendu in Nigeria...?
@Kowalski Penguin Men become catholic priests because of all the material comforts but can't live the celibacy life. They marry and have children in other countries far from where they are known. The few who can't live this double life commit all type of unimaginable atrocities. In all, there are people doing the right thing but no denomination of church is the most perfect. God only, I believe, knows his own people.
Ya that's true they do give up there riches but for giving up all there riches they can have all the little boys they want. Dont worry when they are cought the pope will cover it all up.

thank's for being so honest with this one priest was investing in the stock market and then telling his congregation to live in poverty I walked out of this church ever since some times it takes some time to wake up but we all need to to see what's really going on why should we live in poverty when they aren't
Never had this much love for Alux
Haha, love it! We're happy you enjoyed the video!
Jesus is Lord. He paid tax to the government during his time and taught his disciples to do thesame. Jesus is Love. He taught his disciples to take care of the less privileged not take advantage of them. Jesus is a prophet. He taught us that this false prophets will come in the end time. There is nothing wrong with christianity because the true Christians are like Christ but there are impersonators and we've been forewarned. I am happy that you mentioned that churches have done great things for their communities...churches are still doing great things for their communities.
Tee Oguns it’s not just “the end time” the church has been a business profiting off of the poor since the beginning. Like Tupac said...”why do I need to be in a gold mega church to talk to God?” (Paraphrased)
Excellent. You are right.
Thank you for your response to this anti Christian video.
@@markmunyui Tupac was a wise man you don't need to become a member of a church or a religious organization to communicate with God. What you need is a personal relationship. The aim of the church was to teach, encourage, support, strenghten the downtrodden and the poor I believe. Like in everything else, the wrong people get all the attention.
Tee Oguns agreed
The sad thing is, all the negativity about the church these days, would be avoided if people would actually READ THIER BIBLES!
Here are just a few examples:
1) God doesn’t need you to buy him real estate. He owns the whole earth. (Psalm 24:1-3)
2) God doesn’t need your money, it already belongs to him ( Haggai 2:8)
3) God doesn’t need you to establish his kingdom. He has promised to do it himself. ( Isaiah 63:5) ( Isaiah 9:6-7)
4) God wants you to work and be productive ( proverbs 6:9, Ecclesiastes 9:10)
5) God approves of saving and investing your money ( proverbs 13:11, Mathew 25:27, Ecclesiastes 11:1-2)
6) God is the one who actually allows you to become wealthy ( Deuteronomy 8:18)
7) God has told us exactly how he wants us to be like here on earth. ( Micah 6:8)
8) God hates it when people try to buy anything from him with money ( Acts 8:19-24)
9) God approves of charity and of helping out the poor and less fortunate ( 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, Isaiah 1:17, psalm 82:3)
10) Salvation and Grace are FREE! ( Ephesians 2:8-9)

I love this channel. It is inspiring and informative but as a protestant Christian minister I'd love to educate you guys on this subject. Here are a few questions as food for thought.
1. How much money do you think Jesus received and gave away?
2. Do you believe that he Jesus was wealthy?
3. Does God want you to live in poverty or as He does in abundance (according to how you treat your money)?
4. Is being wealthy a sin?
5. How wealthy were the priest and kings in the Bible?
Rosten Riley you have to put your own answers below your questions so that we Aluxers can see where you coming from and going to with these questions
@@akinwandetomori2947 I chose not to do that only to cause those who see my comment to do further study and think deeper. My answers are quite vast.
Rosten Riley kindly put some of those your answers under your questions...it’s always good to know your own perspective on the questions you are asking as well.
@@akinwandetomori2947 I will try to do this in an abridged fashion per your request
This prosperity gospel and Roman Catholic Church. Not biblical Christianity, anyone who reads the Bible would know questioning everything and searching for truth is encouraged. Anyone who prays upon those who are emotionally or physically vulnerable is ABSOLUTELY contrary to the Bible.
What I was going to say! These people are NOT Christians, they just say they are for personal gain..
Questioning everything is encouraged? Point me to a verse please (actually curious) thanks
By history Bible killed the most number of scientists than anyone else does
IG: baltimark One main verse I go to is Acts 17:11. The Apostle Paul says that the people in the church in Berea were more noble than in another church because they listened to their preaching, but after went to he scripture to see if what they were saying the Bible said is actually what it said. This is a good short summary to answer your question. It is not my work but is helpful. intervarsity.org/sites/default/files/biblical_basis_of_asking_questions.pdf
M Saikumar those who killed scientists weren’t interpreting the Bible accurately. God wants us to learn how the universe works and has gifted some with a scientific mind to explore.
We're a small church of just under 30 people, but the pastor is rich from his own company
Then it's not a problem my friend.The concern of people like us is only about those gold digging bitchy pastors who prey on innocent people just for their own benefits and create rifts among sections of people just for their selfish goals.
Alux.com I like your channel very much because it is one of my favorite channels on TH-cam.
I think you have missed it in the clickbait, it is not the will of God for preachers and the so called men of God to have or buy private Jets. God does not necessarily care about the material world. The message God cares about, and wants to be preached and taught, is the message of his love of salvation and of the cross.

It is sad when a pastor/priest is asking for luxury items.
My first bill I ever received was from my church..... I was 11 years old.... and they wanted me to pay $100 to them by the end of the year as my portion of an offering. When I asked my Sunday school teacher about it, she said that it's my job to find ways to raise that money to give to the church, by either mowing lawns, walking dogs, etc..... yeah......

Enjoy, it’s a good one
These ministries run on DONATIONS, so if you are not donating to them, then it is really none of your business what they do with their money or anything else. Our governments piss away more money in a day than these ministries will get in a century- yet no one does anything about that. It's hypocritical to say that a CEO or politician, or rock star, royalty, are entitled to have and use planes for whatever they want, but a minister that travels to preach doesn't deserve money or the tools to travel. Personally, I'm glad to see some people using technology for something honorable, like ministry. They have used planes to transport food and medical supplies to areas for disaster relief. Kenneth Copeland, who is featured on the opening of this video, has given away more planes, money and food than most governments to help people. It's easy for hate filled bigots to throw stones at people working to spread ideas that help people. Just look at so many people down voting Alux for spreading their messages that are to help people, even if they sometimes rub people the wrong way. Alux- don't be the same kind of hater that you preach against.

When people say “the Church,” I almost always cringe because I know that in their minds, if they are not actually referencing the universal body of believers in Christ Jesus, then they are using “the Church” in reference to the Catholic Church, which has been corrupt over time. But I want people to know that I am a believer in Jesus and His resurrection, but I am not Catholic. My church does not teach “religion,” it talks about faith and real life issues, operating in purpose while serving God and our fellow man, how to see various life challenges/obstacles as opportunities to grow outside of your comfort zone, how we should treat people with love and respect regardless of their backgrounds, etc. We do give money, but that money actually goes back into helping people in the community, not to help make one or a few leader(s) rich. The members of my church who serve on various teams love to volunteer in the community and they are not putting on a fake front to show off. Our pastor is one of the realest, down-to-earth pastors you could ever see preach the Gospel, and he wants people to be educated and healthy and fit and to think for themselves, not dumbed down by religious jargon and weird cult-like dogma. I wish people would distinguish between “religion” and “faith.” I have seen people’s lives get transformed because of faith in Jesus. They will admit they are not perfect, but they have grown in compassion, love, and grace. My church is very modern. No we don’t preach that people can buy their way into Heaven via “indulgences.” That’s all Catholic nonsense. They teach other things I don’t agree with too. Please separate that kind of rhetoric from other modern churches that are actually making a difference in the communities and don’t have pastors who fly around in private jets, etc.
alux never criticize Church only if u want ur company to continue to survive. Church or the people (Pastors) are SPIRITUAL.... personally i luv and enjoyed alux channel and i want it to continue. tx
I am not embarrassed to say I still go to church and give to support it. It is required of us to give our tithe, so we must do so. Just my opinion.
Ranil Abeyasinghe And tithe is not money and it’s a requirement for the Israelites not other nations.
Jesus died for our sins, not our minds, thank you Alux. 🙏🏼 ✝️
I love Alux for being agnostic/realistic in exposing the hypocrisy of religious establishments
It makes me sad that I once had a dream of being a pastor as a retirement career. I had noble motives. It was this side of it that started me questioning. It was studying the religion itself that made me turn my back. Now that I see it all as nonsense I've realized that my cozy retirement career is not going to happen. I feel like I should have made teaching my retirement goal instead. It would have been a great way to give back after a great career. And yet it's my current career.
Fortunately, I'm still young enough to rethink my life, even if I'm old enough that I will pay a high price for those choices. And, no, I won't be pursuing a career as a rich preacher. I'd like to make some money, but I won't do it that way. I'd rather stay a poor teacher than make my money on religion.
Where I live, there are no megachurches, but religion is uncomfortably wealthy. And the word "seed" is a gross part of religion. Meanwhile education is not valued, and too many even despise it. Can't be teaching "that there evolution!"
Now that I'm branching out, I realize that my life will be in opposite order. Teaching was my start. My end will be outside it. Kind of sad. I like my original vision, but the reality of religion betrayed it and shut me out of a wonderful alternative. Nevertheless, I'm glad that teaching will remain a part of my life, because I love doing it. It's a shame I got distracted by the idea of religious teaching. My kids will learn the value of humanity, not the value of religion. And hopefully they'll end up better off than I did.
This video sums up my perspective on religion 😉

Most important things spoken out by courageous alux.. People keep these to themselves.. 80%War =religion!
Thank you Alux. Interesting video. Thank you for opening our eyes on this.
Everyone is free to believe in a religion or not, and have an opinion on anything. I am a Christian. Lord Jesus warned us there will be false prophets. False means counterfeit of true, so there are definitely genuine genuine prophets as well. The Bible is God’s Word that is full of people who had a personal experience with God, and is a guide to a Christlike life. I believe when we read it and ask for God discernment, it is difficult to be deceived and just blindly follow anyone that says « God said ».
Also, not to defend these pastors, but some of them have written books and held seminars that have nothing to do with religion. The majority of their net worth might be out of those.
These people don't follow the teaching of the bible, before make a claim you need to search what the origins are and then make a difference between the origins and those who do evils
He delights in the prosperity of His servants.....
The scripture is clear and transparent that the men of old such as Abraham, Isaac, Israel(Jacob), Job, Solomon, David were men substance, rich and were the richest of their time as a result of God's blessing and it didn't end there its still applies to this day and you are yet to see more of it whether you criticize or not it'll continue and even grow bigger at this latter time as you'll see the church growing richer and becoming more resourceful to aid the preaching of God's word to all corners of the globe.
Tell them, they ain't seen nothing yet!
You are Right about Religions! And this is Why They must be
Tax,
The day governments decide to tax religions that's the day they will crumble like sand castles.
@@alux lets first properly tax the rich of every country who are evading it through loopholes in the laws then we can tax religious institutions
The title alone cracked me up 😂😂
see, we all are free to do anything we want but that does not mean you could insult religion and yes there are some who are not good but with this video, you are blaming those who are good and work for the better of others. donation is on you if you want to give it, it's fine but if you don't want to then don't. if you don't believe in god then try not to raise a question in the mind of others who do believe in god.
we also have to see how much the church has done for others and those who have become rich with the help of church and religion (not the corrupt priest), you cant take few people who miss use religion and blame all, it's not right for anyone. religion has helped many who are in need. religion is there to guide you, so please alux, make a video on how to live a better life but not by hurting someone's religion.
also, people remember that you are free to do whatever you want, even to follow a religion or don't, it's up to you but remember a religion has more to it then donation and expensive church. it holds more than you think and only if you follow it you will understand the real value of it, a video won't show you the reality, you have to find it.
alux i love your video but this one was not something I expected from you, but all your other videos are very informative but not his one.
Yes.On the Contrary you put images of God's Generals.Dont you see it?Do you not have ears.God is mightily Working through these servants all for HIS Glory.But Nice Video, I Appreciate that Research on a Global Level
Surely you hold your beliefs strongly enough to withstand a little questioning. If not, you should address your own beliefs. As far as the idea that only a few people misuse religion, nonsense. In fact, I personally have had enough bad experiences with religious people that if they promote their personal self or their business by leading with their religion, such as Christian, I turn tail and run far and fast so I don't get screwed by them. The way I see it is that there are some amazingly wonderful people out there, but they're amazing in spite of their religion, not because of it.
In Ghana the churches are the ones cashing all the money, and this phenomenon has gotten to a level where leaders from other religious groups have either adopted the churches still of making money, or converted into Christianity because they want to be rich too

As a committed, radical Bible believing Christian who was born Catholic, I find your take interesting, almost amusing but mostly sad. The validity of Christianity cannot be determined by the errors, deception and failures of false practitioners and fabulous fakes. It must based on the claims, teachings and lifestyle of it's founder Jesus of Nazareth. Being the largest and most influential religion it is bound to have in it's ranks both the best and the worst of humanity. You conflict the Medieval Roman Catholic Church with Christianity. That is like saying all Hollywood producers are pedophiles and sexual predators ( because of Polansky, Weinstein etc). That is like saying all Fund managers operate Ponzi schemes because Maddoff and more examples than can be listed here. I have two challenges for you:
1. I challenge you to a debate on this video and it's claims, the debate should be recorded and posted online alongside this one. That will prove that you are really interested in education not propaganda and/or brainwashing.
2. Do more videos of this kind for other religions. My suggestion is to do Islam next being the second largest religion and please take a dispassionate look at the history of Islam, not just on bad or fake Muslims but on the Founder and Prophet of Islam. Then look at all the other major religions of the world with the same standards that you have used for 'Christianity'. I really hope you do this.
Thanks.

You guys are looking at this black and white, don’t associate Gods word with modern day pastors. This is not what the Bible preachers AT ALL, Sam Harris unfortunately isn’t a better alternative as well...read the Bible without the stigma of “the church” attached to it..be a free thinker. Nothing is ever what it seems
Well... I'm a Muslim from Bangladesh. And I'm flabbergasted by this. We have a system of zakaat that is compulsory donations of 2.5% of your yearly income. It is just so we believe that the money we earn are not 100% pure (as in slacking of during work and what not) so we pay charity to those whom we know within our community. And help the poor. Many donate to mosque but it is not compulsory within the religion. But I can see that many might be scammed because of a lack of religious and "modern" education. Being charitable secretly is encouraged. Because many have more and some people might feel bad about having less. You donate to whomever you want, (pay their debts, buy them food or clothes or any type of help). Any 1 organisation is not involved. The mosques are separate and independent from each other. That being said, it is the model of how things should be, according to the religion. But things are far from perfect. People boast about charity to mosques but they are penniless when it comes to helping the poor. And as for education, Islam encourages knowledge and wisdom. It obviously encourages the knowledge of religion but from what I see is that it encourages scientific education more than other religions. Oh and BTW. .. seed. 😅😂
for the fact that we have fake dollar doesn't make the original non existing. it is disappointing to note that all you see is negativity in the ''Church" do more research and if you don't have any content to share it's ok to wait until you find something useful

Still don’t get what the objective of the video is. Anything wrong with being rich??
We all have our mission and the church follows its mission.
That’s not a problem to paint as wrong. Religion brings sanity. The USA is departingfrom this and hope it will not be regretted. No sense of morality. The wrongs are being considered right and downplaying in the role of the church.
God bless president Trump and God bless the church.
I support the church
Crazy b****
I actually agree with all the jets they have, and all the wealth as well. Them millions is an insignificant/small price paid in comparison to the purchase price of a saved soul; which would have been paid even for a single person of all humanity. So if all them $ billions with a “B” seem too much ......... look again the price is actually very very insignificant.
damn!! the words you use in this video are so strong!! anyway good video👌👌
Seed- This is so heartbreaking to me, not unheard of, but still totally heartbreaking.
😂😂😂😂 dying off the title and thumbnail alone
How could they speak for GOD like that.
Well GOD told me I can do what ever I want & ignore others opinions on me 😂
ALUX... PROTECT ALUX AT ALLLL COST ! AMAZING WELL DONE.

PHILIPPINES: There is a religion here called "IGLESIA NI KRISTO" were the church goes must declare their monthly salary and required to give 10 % to the church every sunday. They are also required to attend every gathering because attendance will be checked. i'm not sure with this one but I heared there is a penalty if you cannot attend a gathering .
Seems like a cult to me!
@@sumittiwari1711 you said it... :)
SAVAGE Alux! LOL Awesome video that resonates with my beliefs. Stay "woke" people!
Thank you :)
Nice one ALUX, nice to hear some brutal truths. How these pastors sleep at night is beyond me
This was entertaining.. and educational.. thanks alux
In my country, "the educated" are the most ignorant. Theyve become so desperate, they buy blessed rice, blessed oil. Uganda.
Then they are educated in the wrong way
I am from Serbia, and you can buy in regular supermarkets for very high price vines and different liquors produced and blessed in the Orthodox monasteries. And even they don't pay taxes, their products are more expensive than ones form regular companies.
i love this video i tell people all the time about those highlights you went over
I'll be waiting for your criticism on Islam...
I went to a Catholic Church and the priest (shout out to Father Hippie) but he was one of the only organized religious ppl I’ve ever respected. I saw him at a second hand store driving a crappy car. What happened to the vow of poverty.
Please read the full comment : Actually a person who is more intelligent and welthy they are more easy to control by religion because they understand things and don't have to worry about money . But if a person have only welth not intelligence the it's opposite .
Because Why would our creator need money he can create infinitive number of planet like earth . It's the religion sellers who takes those money by the name of our creator
If someone say about a religion that it's the best those people who are not from that religion insult or say bad things to them but a intelligent person wouldn't do that they will want evidence .
There was a person in India from an minority religion of that country . Indian government spend more then 10 million dollars to stop him but no intelligent person can beat him and go agenst him . that's why lot's of people are leaving from majority religion of India .
That's why religion sellers and Indian government tried to kill him
According to the person's RELIGION ( Intelligent person will go to heaven first )
and our creator only want us to do the right thing , he gave us the power to think and find the Logic so that we can understand what's Right .
Most of the cases a Intelligent
Person can explain your religion more accurately then a person who looks so Religious
"Tirumala Tirupati" Temple in South India have 6 to 7 chambers underground which are full of Gold & Diamond jewellery. 4 chambers are opened till now calculate the assets of $ Trillion, still 2 chambers are yet to open.
You are right , but also there is the vatican 🇻🇦, it has secret archives which contains many information believed to be divine and sensitive, along with this with some sources it is said that the vatican contains all the loot they had since the roman empire which comes at the scale of more than 10 trillion dollars and more .
Actually I am Muslim . And we don't have give money to MOSQUE . In most of the places in Muslim country government take care of mosque .
but in some place and in NonMuslim countries people individually take care of MOSQUE and give donation their way
Yeah some good things in isalm some bad like every other religion on this planet 😊👍
Not once in my life have I been told I have to give money to the church that is something that if I choose to do I can do. And I will also say the church has helped me out when I was in need.
Say alhamdhulilah
@@shivam.mishra7300 well know about your religion by your self ( read ) . Your view of religion will change
@@mikeleisher3089 that's how it is . And that's what he said
I need this video before they bring it down. I am from Nigeria, Pastors and Politicians are now associates. The poorer the Economy, the more patronage of false hope. Then the pastors keep their congregation hypnotized telling them "pray for your Nation and the leaders" (Corrupt and underperforming leaders). So don't bother, we are peaceful no revolt or revolution anytime soon.
On God... Bro, I love meeting Nigerians that are aware of what is going on
