Good day my country people, I observed something today which I felt I should share in the forum.
Well it's about a pastor who comes to me and some friends of mine to know little about trading, which my friends and I tried our best to give him the knowledge he can to start trading.      But funny enough he's also interested in sports betting too , he's congregation has quite the number but he stills struggle financially, so he's ready to start doing anything legitimate for money.

But the thing is, is it really acceptable for a man of God as they do call themselves to indulge in things like this?

Pastors and spiritual leaders of a congregation are entrusted with a sacred calling. Their primary responsibility is to guide teach and nurture Thier flock and not to engage in secular pursuit like trading and gambling.

Please what's your take on this?

Pastors and spiritual leaders as you said should actually get a job and do the church thing in the side because even idealness and lack of funds can push them to gamble too, which is far from what they are expected to be preaching.

Trading bitcoin or even investing in bitcoin is something that they can do that will not distract them from their religious activities.

They are humans not Angels as most people perceive them to be, they shouldn't be lazy but get more engaged in activities that can make them a living.

Gambling should be out of it but proper investment should be encouraged.
