text: how do we get to heaven? i believe we must have some way to worship god.  however,  jesus said in mathew 10:  9provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,  10nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.  he was referring to those (preachers) who would spread the story of the things that he taught and how he died for us  however,  preachers get paid for what they do. if they get paid for what they do then how can they be teaching what jesus taught? by believing in jesus.  that's how we get to heaven.  preachers are paid because in today's modern society, people need some money to survive.
