My problem is not with the amount of money a pastor can make, but with how he spends it. I should aslo make clear that I believe he should be LEAGALLY eligable for the tax breaks, but personally he should give more to God and his fellow man if he truly is a Christian minister.
Here's my scriptural support:
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth...but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven[good works and devotion]..." Matthew 6:19-20
"...A man ran up an knelt before him, and asked him 'Good Teacher, what must I do to inherie eternal life'...'You know the commandments:"Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother."'...'Teacher,all these I have observed from my youth.'...'You lack one thing: go, sell what you have and give it to the poor,and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.'" Mark10:17-21
