Subject: I won"t be saved if I don't tithe |
Bible Note: Your question Who cleans the church? Who paints the church? Do these people get paid? Now is the paint bought? Answer:We supported it through love offering, this things are labor not for spiritual, we hire painters and they get thier payment for it we get contructor for those things. Who and now is the electric bill paid if there is one? Who and how are supplies paid for. Shouldn’t that person be paid something for handling this aspect of the church? Answer:The administration taking care of this, again through love offering we share. We have telivision program most of the payment for that services shoulder of our (*founder) if we have to help him he asked us if we can give, for those who cant its ok. If the Pastor has to travel is his expenses reimbursed? Answer:Of course, this things has to be shouldered by the church, but not thier salaries, thier income should be came from thier own job. They happy to serve as pastors and dont get pais by the church, true service. As I said freely you receieved freely give. I take from what your saying you don't think a pastor should be paid? Do you have an comments on 1 Cor. 9:11 If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you? Answer:As I said our pastors has thier own Job they get income from thier own job or business, They dont want to be burden for our members. I'm confused a little you make it sound like you don't expect anyone to give then your last sentence you "Give as want you can, if we can give more than half of our income it is ok but we never required anyone." Is that saying many or most people give half their income? Answer:We taught love offerings, not tithes, if you can give you can, if you cannot it ok, give what you can give. Does your church support missionaries? What denomination is your church? Do you pay any support to a central organization? Answer:Of course we have our church in different nations. Our support to the church is through love offering, again most of the overhead was shoulder of our preacher. A few more questions and now I'm showing my ignorance of your country for that I apologize. In the Philippines do you have professional sports, movie theaters, and commercial shows? Do you attend those? Do you expect to pay for these? Is the price set? Or do you pay what you want. Answer:We have sports, movie theaters, commercial show in our nation, I dont see what is the relation of it in our church. We have TV programs for our church we pay the overhead through love offereings. I hope I answered all of your questions. God bless, Johnny |
