Confidentiality of Tithes

[Jay]

In all seriousness, I am not a pastor, nor do I ever aspire to be one (many reasons for that). I do support strongly the concepts of pastoral authority. I am convinced that the tithes go to the Pastor, and I am not going to question what he does with them. I do not question the salary/pay of my bosses, and I do not feel a need to do that with the Pastor. If he makes more than I do, the may God bless him. If not, then may God bless him double because he is really going to need it.

I was raised that the pastor does not live above the congregation, but I am not opposed to pastors owning and having nice/expensive things. And I know of too many times that people scream about the pastor buying themselves or their families anything. I understand that there are occasional abuses by a few in the ministry, but I have seen more abuses of the ministry by saints.
