Nate, The scripture clearly indicates that 1. The members of the church are suppose to support their pastors. and 2. We are not to judge the motives of others hearts.

To make the statement that pastors at least on some level are all thinking of their salaries is not right.

You may have told us, but I don't remember. What reasons does your husband give for not wanting to go to church?

Sounds pretty Catholic to me.

I do not support "pastorship" or the idea of such in a fulfilled covenant. Pastors were set up to sustain the first century believers until the time of Christ's return and the fulfillment of "all things." Their ministry went away with Apostles. After all, the Apostles set up the pastors. Without them, who squares away the "pastors?"
Also, pastors are "self proclaimed." Why do you give allegiance to a man who says he is a pastor just because he earned a degree from a denominational school?

Becky, when you break it down, it is an occupation.
