Subject: Pastors and Salaries |
Bible Note: Are you saying that it is ok to a pastors to get his living from his members? Can you please show me in the scriptures that it is ok to Jesus Christ that His apostle will get salary from thier people? Can you show me that getting salary is part of the teaching of Christ? Can you show me the passages that will stated that one of the desciples get salary when they are teaching. What Jesus Christ taught to them is freely received freely give. Did Christ allow that they will get their salaries? Mt 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Paul said that he is not burdensome to his people. Meaning He did not get salaries from his people: 2Co 12:14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. In order to earn his living, Paul has to work for himself and not to get salaries. Ac 18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. Pastors that getting salaries is not that really devoted to what he is doing but use the word of God to earn a living for himself. God bless, Johnny |
