First of all in order for a pastor to question your tithes, the Pastor has to know how much you make.
If the Pastor thinks that the member is not giving the proper amount in tithes, then the Pastor and the member could sit down together so that the Pastor could explain about Tithing and what percentage should be given to the church and not to the pastor.
Also, the Pastor has to take into account that the member could be working on commission or getting social security, unemployment or some other income therefore the tithing amounts could change each time.
They can certainly challenge you on your tithe if they feel that's the right thing to do. They cannot do anything about it if you state that you are giving what you feel is right.
What else can I help you with?
Do you tithe from your unemployment benefits?
This one I think is up to the individual. Check with your pastor. One pastor said we are supposed to tithe off of our labor, so I think you should discuss with your pastor. It wouldn't hurt to tithe for the blessing to come from it.
I've gotten into a conversation on tithing with the pastor and brethren. I was told if I do not want to be cursed by God I must tithe. I told the pastor and the brethren I do not find the scripture saying the church must tithe?
Um.... I think that's a lie.
How would you answer this question- do you tithe?
The most appropriate answer would be "yes" if you do and "no" if you do not, or,simply state that your practices are personal.
Do the tithes go to the pastor of the church?
The tithe money does not belong to the pastor. It belongs to the church and they have a budget determining how the tithes will be used to carry out the ministry of the church and meet their legal obligations. The pastor is paid a salary. Some pastors don't receive a salary if they already have another income. Rabbi's receive a salary too.
Is it okay to date a married pastor?
Considering that this question is posted in "Cheating" you probably already know the answer.Just because someone is a pastor does not change the fact that he or she is married.Ask this: Would the pastor's spouse think it is OK? Please, please say this is a joke question. It is morally wrong to cheat with anyone, period. But with a pastor? You are not only helping betray the pastor's spouse, but the pastor's congregation as well.
Tithes should be given to pastor's own needs?
Sometimes they should. A pastor is called by God and the Church to a specific, religious, professional vocation. By secular law, he is hired to do a specific job and is to be paid enough to support his family. He pays taxes on his salary and perks, though in the US, churches themselves are not taxed. So part of the money you tithe usually goes to pay the pastor.

How much money does it cost to get married in a baptist church?
Depends on the church and the pastor of the church. I pastor a church and don't charge anything for our members to get married. However, I do expect them to tithe as the Bible asks them to. I don't perfrom a marriage ceremonies for non-members except for special circumstances. I still don't charge anything.
Your pastor says you should not tithe to the poor and the whole tithe is his?
The pastor is all wrong here. As you must help both church as well as man.Additional Info:The tithe is Old Testament/Mosaic Law commandment given to ancient Israel. Under this Law ancient Israel was commanded to give tithes to give tithes to the widows, fatherless and strangers among ancient Israel. In essence, this is referring to poor people.The only other people commanded to receive tithes were the tribe of Levi and the Levitical priests. See Deuteronomy 14:29.That pastor is incorrect. Nowhere in the Bible does it say a Christian preacher should receive tithes under any circumstances. Besides the biblical tithe doesn't apply to Christians anyway.When Jesus fulfilled the Law, tithing was no longer necessary. Voluntary giving replaced tithing. See Hebrews 8:13, Galatians 3:13, Galatians 3:24-25, Romans 7:6.
What does it mean when your pastor asks you what did you dream about?
The question is not clear as to whether this was a dream in which the pastor asks about dreams, or if the pastor questioned the dreamer in real life. If this was a real-life question from the pastor, then the dreamer must ask that pastor what he/she meant by the question. It probably would make a big difference if the question was posed during casual coffee-hour conversation, during a class about dreams in the Bible, or during personal counseling sessions. > If the question itself was part of a dream, then the pastor represents the dreamers own inner authority (parental figure) and suggests that the dreamer needs to pay closer attention to one's own dreams. Tell him dreams do not mean anything. They are random firings of neurons in the brain.
