do you remember what Jesus did last time he saw people vending in the church??
Jesus did that because the vendors were stealing the peoples worship. These guys put their stuff right in front of the gate of the temple, so the first thing you saw when you walked in was food, or whatever they used to sell. They even had money changers at the back or something so that during the passover people would come from all over the place and they all had different forms of money. They even had sacrificial lambs. So what was wrong with these people? They were even trying make your passover easier by having a sacrificial lamb ready for you to buy and even had money changers! They were good guys like you and me. All they did was steal peoples worship, and that's one thing God never accepts
Thats why at our church we have a food market, a bookstore that more cds than you can ever imagine, those cute cross necklaces, and even computers and all that cool stuff, but you would never see anyone selling anything during a liturgy or any church service.

I collect sneakers, but not as much as i used to. Now that the summer is here, i find myself back on this buying and selling sneaker website a bit more than usual.
any thoughts?
This is really quite charming. I think you're extremely charming having this obsession.
Why do you collect sneakers for? They are comfortable, I admit that. But is it really an obsession? I didnt know people bought and sold sneakers like bonds.
I must admit, I find the youth in Canada/USA/Australia EXTREMELY inventive and business-minded more than the youth in Europe. I knew at least 12 people who were under 21 that already had their own companies in Canada.
I don't want to say or advise anything to change your business spirit or anything, it could be a talent you have in business. Frankly speaking, at your age, if you are doing it for business, and you get a chance to wear the sneakers you then sell on (at a profit), then it seems like a really smart idea. If you keep on making a loss, and it is JUST a loss, then it is more of a hobby than it is a business; in which case, it is a very expensive hobby you are in!
The sin is if you love anything/anyone more than God. I doubt very much you are that obssessed with sneakers that you'll put it before God. ? Right? You're not that sa3eedi - are you!??

Just so people understand and are not confused about what was written.
What these people were doing was much more than just buying and selling in the temple, they were selling the gifts of the Holy Spirit for money... this is as ridiculous as a priest charging you money for communion.

Is it an obsession?
How many do you have?
How many do you need?
--You do not have to answer, but I think you have the answer already.
lol just kidding, but don't let it distract from more important things or take up your money that could be going to better things
But, it's not bad if you're not wasting all your time on it.
is it wrong to collect model cars?
is it wrong to collect rocks?
no no no.
