I confess we are all equal
So you are also deceived by pastors, haven't read the NT, and everyone else gets everything from the word of God like you, therefore you are on the same level as others, and they are then your equals? Or, are you above everyone else in these things?

I confess we are all equal and God is greater....there you go again making stuff up but why? does it make you angry because the truth hurts you
Because he is lost and angry and hateful and running on empty. he does the same thing to everyone. just look at his cheesy Spurgeon signature

brother he sent him a loonnnnng time ago and his name is jesus
Yes I agree. But it takes men that have the gift(through the Spirit) of pastor teacher to teach us that don't have the gift of teacher. Even the gifted men, Timothy,Titus and many more had a teacher.
Eph 4:11

New American Standard Bible
And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,

tell me what is the word of God talking about on Matthew 6:24
the topic: for us to set up treasure in heaven where no one can steal unlike earth, where your treasure be there will your heart be.... the light of the body is the eye if your eye is evil your body will be full of darkness and for us to work for god and not money and can not serve both....put first his kingdom and everything else will be added for us not to seek what gentiles seek trust him on feeding us and clothing us that we are more of value to him than the fowls of the air

Your ideas remind me of someone else on here a while ago.

You know one can earn money and not treasure it.

We are also told to work

Paul instructs those who had been idle, “Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:12). ESV.

You really are not clear on what you believe and what you are trying to say, but maybe it is just me

I think so, it is normal to preach in the street because Jesus did it himself. it reveals that benefits, because in doing so, the hearts are touched by the message either immediately or later, a seed that is sown, will yield harvest.
I think so as well, indeed Jesus preached in the streets, in the woods, on a mountain, from a boat, in synagogues pretty much anywhere. It is fine to preach the word of God anywhere there is a need, the streets is a good place to preach.

I am trying to recall Jesus standing on a street corner, yelling at passers by. But, all I can remember is crowds following Him as He silently walked along, because of His reputation, till He reached a particular place, and then the crowds gathered around Him to hear what He might say when He sat down.

That is SO different than what "Street Preachers" do in their assaults upon the public.

Well I am fine with a barter system if that is what you are saying, my ancestors in Italy lived off the land, they had very little need for money

Having said that, Jesus does not say to not work for money, you are twisting (the only word that I could think of) the text.

Jesus is not laying down new law, He is however telling us the difference between the temporal and the eternal.

I really dislike it when... all His words become about condemnation and judgement...sometimes He is just teaching.

You do got a point not all street preaching is of truth, I guess like preachers in church as well.

i do recall Jesus bending down and writing in the dirt of the street, a topic probably not mentioned much as being in the streets but I say he did that as well.
