To tithe or not to tithe?

Or one person should take the time out every day to visit when there are many in the body???

Or that?

Most people do have to do the things you posted above Prax.

It does not change the FACTS I just presented. They can't do it full time because they are working 8-12 hours a day and have families to take care of and other family duties

All I am saying is that all the people should want to share in the duties of the ministry because we are all supposed to be ministers in the word and in deed. To delegate and pay one man to do all of the physical and spiritual work of the local church body is quite frankly....stupid. A congregation will work a poor man to death because they are paying him and get sloppy lazy on their own commitments to the Lord.

And all I am saying is, in the context of this discussion on full time Ministers and tithing, they can WANT to share in it all they want to but they can't do it full time unless they quit their jobs and or neglect their families and other duties

But since people want to do it that way...that is ok with me. I get tired of hearing all of the bellyaching about the lack of tithing and the disproportionate amount of work for one man when there are so many different ways the body of Christ can work together to labor in the Lord.

that really has nothing to do with what I have been discussing
