Yes, but I am not a pastor. Being a pastor is different, it is not an ordinary job that is why I am asking if there is any apostle that getting there salary in return of thier teaching about christ. I gave many example in my previous note, and with all due respect you just ignore it and put a verse too far from my request which is in the time of Christ. Just give me the name of apostle that get thier salaries in return of thier evangelical mission and i will agree with you that getting salary of the pastors is a teaching of Christ. I gave the example of paul, being a tentmaker. For your information, our workers in church did not get thier salary from the people they have thier own job aside from being workers of the church. Because we believed that freely receieved, freely give. Just show me that getting salary for the pastor is teaching of Christ, show me the verses and the names of the apostle that receieved thier salary in return of their evangelical mission. God bless, Johnny |

Sorry Johnny, I did not read your previous note, just this one. We belong to quite a big church, and there are quite a few people there that work at the church full-time, so they get paid by the church/us. They do not have time to have another job beside church. Neh. 10:37 says: "Moreover, we will bring to the storerooms of the house of our God, to the priests, the first of our ground meal, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees and of our new wine and oil. And we will bring a tithe of our crops to the Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all the towns where we work." My NIV Bible study notes says about this verse: According to God's law, the people were to give a tenth of their produce to the temple for the support of the Levites (those who cared for the temple and the religious observances). A tenth of what the Levites received or produced went to the priests for their support. The principle at work was to ensure the support of the house of God and his workers. We must not overlook our responsibility to God's workers today. Thanks Shelly |

It seems that you always quoted verses in the old testament. You get the example of levites, and the examples of tithing. My questions remain the same, we know that in the old testament it is in the law that they can take the tithe from the people of israel. But in the new testament there are no teaching of Christ that will require us to give tithes (ten percent) or getting salaries for the pastors. Can you give me the verses that will stated that tithes (ten percent)is included in the teaching of Chirst. If we continue part of the law which is tithe (that will become a salary of the pastors) we must do everything including in the law, we have to be consistent otherwise we are the same with the scribes: Mt 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. The teaching of Christ about offering is: 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. If you are ready to do the things that you quoted in the old testament you must do everything included in the law of moses to be consistent. why it is only the tithe is the most special and we cannot exclude it. Why you are ready to exclude other law of moses i.e., cirscumcisations, sabbath, and other things including to it. Did you eat pork and other food that required not to eat by the law of moses? A tenth for the levites, they have all the authority given to them, why question to you is are the pastors today are children of levites? are they given authority to collect the ten percent of their members? Heb 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: Are they pastors sons of levi? God bless, Johnny |

Sorry my friend you terribly wrong. Kindly read it from 18:10 and you will find who said that statement. Please be careful of reading the bible. Lu 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. Lu 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. Lu 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. Lu 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. Lu 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Jesus is God He never give 10 percent of his income. |
