The video was captioned, "Crypto training. Proverbs 14:23In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.'' According to the netizen who shared the clip, the pastor got a professional to train congregants on crypto. While boasting that such an opportunity can't be got anywhere, the netizen expressed joy that 'kingdom wealth is on the way.' In the clip, a projector is seen displaying a crypto trading chart while people listened.

So at the end of the day he can ask donations in cryptocurrency   . I am not against learning about new things but the reason why people follow religion is to have peace of mind and majority are there to exploit that and then seek their donations and have a luxury life on their own. So i hate all those money mongering religious people who are after money exploiting the weakness of innocent people .

^ Lol.
This is possible that as we know most churches now asking for donations even online process.
Educating people is not bad at all and I think the intention of the pastor was good for their youth but the problem is if they exploit this by for asking money in the name of their church through cryptocurrency which is not good for me. However, this will bring a positive impact on the BTC community, it belongs to the increasing adoption because the awareness has been spread. Educating people is not bad at all and we hope in a right way not misleading them into many scam projects.

It seems the pastor of that church has forgotten the 1st commandment and Jesus reaction to Money Changers in the Church.
Reference source : King James Bible

If churches conduct.....
Business Seminars
Marriage Seminars
Career Seminars etc. for their members, I personally think a crypto Seminar is not out of place, but then, the motive should be clear and well aligned with the word of God, where problem will arise is if the pastor in question starts using this as a business for himself, that is if he leaves what he is called to preach and start referring his congregants to different crypto investments platforms in a bid to make money through referral bonuses.

That's odd for me, it shouldn't be the church conducting that training. But, if that's the pastor's thinking, I guess he's into money and basically should prioritize other things than it like the gospel itself and just leave works like this to those professionals and enthusiasts that likes to conducts meeting and seminars related to crypto or, maybe he's also an enthusiast but that's off of his scope as a pastor. And with technology like blockchain and bitcoin, it can really be in lined with a lot of bible verses.

Churches have a great deal of influence over their constituents to the point that they blindly follow their leaders despite morality and logic is not aligned with our values. But the fact that this church advocates the use of cryptocurrencies is quite alarming since as far I know, they tend to teach about living a simple life.

Though that May be the case, this definitely news that I did not expect; something that peopleabd churches should also follow.

I mean it would be a plus, yes but it is kinda bizarre to have crypto which is mostly technical a part of agenda in a church. Almost in those times, I usually expect songs to be played and having crypto being talked about so sudden is kind of....... sudden.
Regardless I respect that crypto is getting attention to any groups out there even religious ones. I don't see any  point making news about it, since surely in other groups have been already doing the same (e.g. workplace).

Well it is good news and we are looking for news like this daily.
This is not new in my own opinion because I have heard this before when the church accepts bitcoin for donation and now they are educating those young children about bitcoin which is a perfect way to educate them regarding the financial system and how it will work if this is in a decentralized way and that is bitcoin. We hope that other churches will do the same but I think it is good if the churches not only focus on bible history, it should be also on financial matters or a livelihood program.

This may look like weird to me but whatever since this will expand the adoption of Bitcoin once people know how to use crypto currency such as Bitcoin. Although, I'm having a doubt about the people who teach about crypto inside the church or maybe they don't just have a room to start on how to spread awareness about the crypto.

I hope there's no secret agenda in this when teaching those people because usually when there's something like money involve everything will change in the end.

It looks like the Church is well aware about the need of cryptocurrency and the possible ways through which one can profit. It have realised the fact, if people can profit then automatically the church can benefit out of the cryptocurrency adoption. Religious institution participation into the awareness program is simply a positive approach on bitcoin usage.

[Darker45]

LOL! This is funny! But, yeah, it must be a plus. Any effort which seeks to inform others about Bitcoin must be a plus to the community, although I have reservations on how religion is being used here for purposes which are apparently outside the realm of spirituality or morals.

If this is being conducted within a service or an official ceremony, I think this is misplaced. And to promote Bitcoin with a passage from the Bible is something that I personally don't find right. God probably doesn't care about Bitcoin. This is purely man's business.

My concern is that I hope that the Pastor did not try to sell crypto currency to his members as a get-rich-quick scheme. I also hope the so-called crypto professional is actually a professional who is teaching them first about bitcoin and then the dangers of investing in shitcoins.

Does this look like a plus to the crypto community?

Yes, I think this is a plus for the crypto community. The awareness would go a long way in ensuring both a proper understanding of the crypto ecosystem, it's adoption and what's coming. I must confess that I like what I have been reading lately from folks teaching school kids, to folks teaching their colleagues at work and now a church? This is awesome.

[davis196]

Cryptocurrencies are money and money is the root of all evil, according to almost every religion.
I have nothing against some pastor educating it's people about the risks of dealing with cryptocurrency trading and investing.
However, this looks really cringe, if you ask me.  The church is definitely the wrong place to teach people how to invest and trade.
Anyway, perhaps some protestant TV evangelists might adopt cryptocurrency donations. This doesn't seem like a wrong approach(if the coins are spent for a good cause). The problem is that most TV evangelists are greedy fanatics, who want to brainwash as many people as possible and make more money out of them.

Of course, this is an added value and special attention for religious people towards Crypto/digital currency.

Maybe in this case we should understand that every believer has a Bible and his own understanding of the use of crypto, I remember the refusal of donations by the (Russian Orthodox Church) in the form of crypto, they believe in crypto usury, for that they do not want to accept donations in the form of crypto, let alone to educate and teach them.

However, in contrast to the understanding of Christians, they do not find a specific prohibition in the Bible about crypto, but they have an understanding of what can be done and what cannot be done, bottom line: consider the good and the bad for the church community, family and others.

I believe what christians/churches do, they believe crypto is technology, it is an attitude and motivation for pastors and including people who believe crypto brings good for them in investing, depending on their attitude and motivation to do so, I think that's a reasonable thing considering the age of technology agnostic.

This is absolutely a great job done by the pastor and the professional, teaching the congregation about the basic key importance and knowledge of Bitcoin. I just wish the pastor was a member of the forum, because he would have definitely gotten 5 merits from me for such wonderful job well done. Because this is actually the kind of pastors we need now in this current hardship, a one that will give you update on how to be financially free here on Earth while he is preparing you to make heaven. It will likely reduce the rate of poverty in some countries.

[buwaytress]

NG is the same place where you have preachers who claim to exorcise demons from people with sexual penetration, and where there's a famous pastor who apparently has God's direct phone number and speaks to him with a mobile phone.

Oh but that's not just NG, almost every place where religion is a fervour, you have all kinds of magic men and prophets claiming all kinds of things.

They're not about to leave Bitcoin alone.

[yazher]

This is happening in some places sun valley is a very small growing number of  churches in America that are really accepting online donations through cryptocurrencies.so in future it will be a great ideas in other continents even in future crypto-christianity will be the secret practice of Christianity 

Things like this are understandable because with the wide popularity of cryptocurrencies nowadays, churches will find some way to get their hands on this kind of opportunity where they give their people options to donate with their crypto assets. Anyway, we expect to see more of this in the future because it will gonna spread once they saw it works well and they gathered a huge amount of money from it. they will make their own version and maybe they make rules out of it.

I'm starting to believe that churches are like businesses since it may seem look that way considering they now share and preach things beyond the churches knowledge. Well, whatever I've seen worse than this and everything seems to be happening in all kinds of stuff in crypto space and as long as this will benefit the Bitcoin community then I am not against with it. I'll wait what the media would do when they know this kind of stuff.

I mean it's not a bad thing that's true, but are we talking about something that should be done by a priest? Don't get me wrong, anyone can do whatever they want personally, but when you have a job as a priest then you are responsible for something else other than people's money.

If you talk about crypto like it's good or bad, doesn't matter, that means as a priest you have a big chance to influence people and that's not really an easy thing to do, I would be scared to do something like this if I had that kind of power. He could literally cause people to buy millions of bitcoins just because he said it compared to if I said it, and that would be the scary part, what if they lose money?

well bitcoin is a currency that has already reached a worldwide level of acceptance, that's why churches can no longer ignore bitcoin, since there's nothing wrong with someone donating bitcoin to a church. now churches will have to create conditions for people to make bitcoin donations. One thing I've been asking myself:

Where do these church donations go?

anyway it seems that this is a question that would bother me if i asked in church

[romero121]

Teaching about cryptocurrency is good, because there are so many people who doesn't have awareness about the existence of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Guiding them to invest and profit too is good, but the same needs to be allowed on their personal interest. Because, with the learning he/she had through the session they should know decide whether to invest or not.
