First of all in order for a pastor to question your tithes, the Pastor has to know how much you make.
If the Pastor thinks that the member is not giving the proper amount in tithes, then the Pastor and the member could sit down together so that the Pastor could explain about Tithing and what percentage should be given to the church and not to the pastor.
Also, the Pastor has to take into account that the member could be working on commission or getting social security, unemployment or some other income therefore the tithing amounts could change each time.
They can certainly challenge you on your tithe if they feel that's the right thing to do. They cannot do anything about it if you state that you are giving what you feel is right.
This one I think is up to the individual. Check with your pastor. One pastor said we are supposed to tithe off of our labor, so I think you should discuss with your pastor. It wouldn't hurt to tithe for the blessing to come from it.
Um.... I think that's a lie.
The most appropriate answer would be "yes" if you do and "no" if you do not, or,simply state that your practices are personal.
The tithe money does not belong to the pastor. It belongs to the church and they have a budget determining how the tithes will be used to carry out the ministry of the church and meet their legal obligations. The pastor is paid a salary. Some pastors don't receive a salary if they already have another income. Rabbi's receive a salary too.
Considering that this question is posted in "Cheating" you probably already know the answer.Just because someone is a pastor does not change the fact that he or she is married.Ask this: Would the pastor's spouse think it is OK? Please, please say this is a joke question. It is morally wrong to cheat with anyone, period. But with a pastor? You are not only helping betray the pastor's spouse, but the pastor's congregation as well.
Three tithes are mentioned in the Old Testament: the Levitical tithe, the festival tithe, and every third year the tithe for the poor.
Sometimes they should. A pastor is called by God and the Church to a specific, religious, professional vocation. By secular law, he is hired to do a specific job and is to be paid enough to support his family. He pays taxes on his salary and perks, though in the US, churches themselves are not taxed. So part of the money you tithe usually goes to pay the pastor.
the church owned the tithe barn and they put all there tithes (a tenth) in the tithe barn
the tithe of a hundred is 10 %
Depends on the church and the pastor of the church. I pastor a church and don't charge anything for our members to get married. However, I do expect them to tithe as the Bible asks them to. I don't perfrom a marriage ceremonies for non-members except for special circumstances. I still don't charge anything.
As tithe is not a person, you can only give it to god or the church.
Tithe was a tax to churches or religious places!
