Bible Question:
In the context of the new testament church, how are the tithes to be handled? Are thay still for the material support of the levites fulltime 5fold ministers. How are they distributed among them? Do ministers who are paid from the tithes tithe to the pastor as the levites did to Aaron the high priest? Who does the pastor tithe to? In this verse it appears that the Lord intended for the tithe to be given upward people to the levites, levites to the High Priest If the pastor and church are a apart of a covering organization should the church tithe to that organization? Should the pastor tithe personally to the head of that organization or does he tithe to whom he considers to be his spiritual father? There is great controversy in most churches about this issue. What do the scriptures really say about this issue in the new testament? |
Bible Answer: First of all your not tithing to a Pastor or at least you shouldn't be. You are to be honoring God with your tithe. The church is only an agent assigned by God to be a steward for the money. A senior pastor is pay his tithe to honor God also. He presents it to the church and they then become stewards of it and use it as God has directed. EdB |
