Is it a sin to charge money for religious services? Such as Christian counselling, pastoral care, bible sharing?

I came up with an easy way to earn money, but I'm not sure God would be okay with it.

Not a christian, but the bible is not the biggest fan of money. Hebrew 13:5 Luke 12:15 1st Timothy 6:10 All talk about the love of money being evil.

In Mathew 19:24 Jesus says its easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle then for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven

In Acts 2:44 It says believers shared everything. Acts 2:45 Goes on to say they would gladly sell property if someone needed it.

Probably super relevant here in the book of 1st Corinthians 9 4-12 Paul addresses some controversy about him and Barnabas taking some money from the ministry for a salary. Now Paul argues he has a right to take it. So this is why most pastors are payed

None of these address your question directly, but I think it's reasonable to say that they can charge for some services, but only if the person can afford it and that person should probably pay what they think they are called to pay.

That's just my 2 cents though. You should probably talk to a pastor and not a pagan witch XD
