I heard it argued that it is sinful to sell T-Shirts and other things that have Bible verses on them because this is "making a profit off of the things of God". The person made a distinction between this and selling Bibles, because he admitted that it does cost money to produce a Bible, and Bibles are necessities, so it's OK (in his mind) to charge money for a Bible.
But cups, shirts, etc with Bible verses are apparently akin to the moneychangers in the temple. Do you think that Jesus would go into Lifeway or Hobby Lobby and turn over shelves (containing non-heretical merchandise)? Is selling a Bible verse cup "selling the things of God"? Is it wrong?
