This here came to me:
Churchianity has it all wrong again. Yeah, preachers don't get a salary, or are not suppose to, and it is the group of local believers that support those who are fulltime in the ministry, be it food, clothing, housing, etc.
Can i get some Bible verses that Pastors dont get a salary? Just thinking about it now.
Anyway this came to me to add to the thread:
1 Timothy 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who LABOUR in the word and doctrine.
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and LABOUR of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Revelation 2:
1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2 I know thy works, and thy LABOUR, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
1 Corinthians 3:
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own LABOUR.
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
John 6:27 LABOUR not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
