Subject: Pastors and Salaries |
Bible Note: 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?
