How do pastors get paid?

There are a variety of ways a pastor can be paid. Many smaller congregations don't have the income necessary to pay a full-time pastor. One solution is for the denomination to pay a single pastor to perform his duties over several small, often rural, churches; the funds can come from a pooling or partial pooling of the offerings of those churches, or through a fund supplied by the denomination itself. Other congregations have pastors that are not paid staff, either by choice or by necessity. These pastors work full-time like anyone else, and perform ceremonies and services on weekends. Larger congregations are able to finance a pastor's salary through a portion of offering income. Some may sub-divide the pastor's pay into a number of different budgetary line-items (for example, housing may be a separate item for congregations that do not maintain a parsonage), and each line-item may have a silghtly different accounting "bucket" to pull from.

Do Seventh-day Adventists tithe?

Yes. Seventh-day Adventist claim to use the tithing system established in the book of Leviticus as a template. In Bible times, the tithes the Israelites paid were placed in a storehouse and then distributed to each Levite and the workers according to his need (Nehemiah 13:12:13). The Seventh-day Adventist church aims to emulate this by having all tithes paid to a conference instead of the local church, and then having those monies paid out in salary fashion to all pastors.

Why do Christians get so jealous that Mormons figured out a better way to control people and their wealth and just get on board and ride this gravy train right into heaven?

It is true that some Christian pastors have admitted to 'Mormon envy', because in general, Mormons are more faithful in the payment of tithes than other Christian groups. It isn't known why Mormons tend to be more willing to pay tithes, but here are some ideas. First, Mormons actively preach about tithing and feel they are expected to pay it. Many Christian pastors today avoid preaching about what you should and should not do because people don't like to hear it. Since pastors are paid by their congregants, they try to preach about things that people want to hear. Mormon leaders are not paid for church service, so they don't care if their preaching is popular or not. Second, Mormons believe that the glory you enjoy in heaven depends on how faithful you were in keeping the commandments of God. While many Christian churches believe something similar to this, many others preach that good works or obedience to God's commandments has absolutely nothing to do with your reward in heaven. If there is no personal reward for paying tithes, people are much less likely to do it. As a Mormon, I pay tithes for several reasons. First and foremost, I love God and want to obey His commandment to pay tithes. Second, I have noticed that when I pay tithes, my financial situation has been more stable than when I have not paid tithes. Third, I love my church and want to help them continue to grow. Fourth, I have made a personal promise to God that I would tithe. Fifth, I support the things that my tithes pay for (building and maintaining churches, assisting the poor, fellowshipping activities, etc) and believe that my donations are used wisely. The reason why other Christians don't 'get on board' is because they don't believe that way. There are plenty of other ways that Christian pastors can make loads of money (check out the megachurch pastors!) but most pastors just preach what they believe is true and dont care if their congregation is small or large, so long as they are faithful and love God. Also, I'm not sure you could make a train out of gravy, but even if you could I doubt it could get you to heaven.
