Men too afraid to preach anything that will step on your toes. Who makes final decisions in that type of church? That is a train wreck. God's design has always been one man as his leader and authority over a congregation. Yes, have other elders and teachers in the church, but there can only be one Pastor or shepherd over the congregation. Your problem isn't tithing. Your problem is authority.

This has conversation has been going on for a couple months. He is a saint in a church that I guess from what he posts, the Pastor doesn’t accept tithes. He may accept offerings, Tithemeister hasn’t said I believe on the offering part. Now, he says many pastors would be a blessing, its not biblical for one man to be the authority of a local assembly. He also clams tithing to a Pastor is not biblical and therefore we shouldnt do it. I’m a Pastor that believes the Pastor should be full time if he is able to, not because he is in debit and cant afford to.
