Paul believes in full disclosure: 2 Corinthians 8 "We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift. For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of men."

These scriptures are showing that the ministry itself is being accountable to God so as not to bring a reproach on the name of the Lord not the church members making the ministry accountable.
JRoc, who should receive the tithes in your opinion?
