If churches are going to claim their tax exemption, they oughta reveal individual salaries.

[PetroniusMaximus]

"If churches are going to claim their tax exemption, they oughta reveal individual salaries."

Best that I can tell, there is no basis in the NT for tax exemption.

"Render unto Ceaser..."

"If churches are going to claim their tax exemption, they oughta reveal individual salaries"

Why? Churches are voluntary associations. If you don't like it move on. If you don't think your pastor is worth what he is paid, whether disclosed or not, move on. As an aside, to get the housing allowance, there must be a disclosure as to the amount and there is the balancing "excess remuneration" rule used by the IRS when it thinks executive remuneration is excessive.
