Well you are of course entitled to your view. However I,like the Studies mentioned, prefer free. I do not believe anyone should charge for Christian teaching. Jesus did not charge those who heard Him. The Gospel should be completely free. Personally I do not trust the ones which charge. God bless you and may He lead you in all truth.
I agree. If they offer an option for donation (instead of simply charging a person money), that would be different. But I agree that the teachings of Christ should be free. Granted, if one is spreading paper tracts, or they are offering a book that is different (But that same information in the tracts and book should be available for free online, too). But publishing does cost money and some folks prefer reading books or paper literature instead of staring at a screen for long periods of time. But I do concur with you and understand your concern.
For example: Logos Bible Software is an example of what is wrong in the world of Christianity today. They charge thousands of dollars to access their teachings. Some already have spent thousands to access such teachings. This is really wrong to me. Then again, the Logos software promotes the corrupted Alexandrian manuscripts and not the Received Text (i.e., The Textus Receptus). The Alexandrian manuscripts also promote Catholic ideas. Then again, we shouldn’t be surprised. Logos is owned by Faith Life Corporation and one of their brands is Verbum, which promotes Catholic studies. So they are ecumenical, and money focused.
In any event, thank you for your words.
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you today.
Side Note:
Have you seen the film called “Polycarp”?
That to me is an example of what Christians should be like.
