just want to say few words to
Mr.. Hackworth and Representative.
Both have evaded the issue. They I'M
dertook to answer Rev. G. w. White
at Whitwell, Tenn, but neither one
touched side or bottom of what they
have taken him to talk about. Is it
right to pay minister, or is it wrong
is the issue. No one disputes but what
salvation is of the Lord. Mr. Hack
worth leaves the issue and jumps off
on 1.-THE paying and church funds.
The medium through which God
reaches fallen man is the gospel. Paul
says it pleased God by the foolishness
of preaching to save them that believ-
ed Who breaches it? The ministers,
of course Representative" left the
issue in which he takes the parson G.
w. White, to task and said salvation
was on a cash basis. | guess he meant
preaching and not salvation, for that
is of the Lord. / am considerably in
terested in this subject. | want the
two learned men to tell us is it right
or wrong to pay preacherI Give
chapter and verse in the Bible, but
don't array scripture against scripture.
''God has ordained (appointed) that
they that preach the gospel should live
of the gospel. - Thou shalt not muz-
zle the OK that treadeth out the corn !,
and "Who goeth TO a warfare any
time at his own charge" Paul said,
II robbed (stripped) other churches,
taking wages SALARY J of them to do
you service ministerial work..
Just want you two distinguished wri-
ters to show where the Bible says it is
wrong to support the ministry. One
gives the abuse of tithing and the 9TH
or the abuse of salaries. know there
is abuse and the salary business is
carried to an extravaganza, but that
is not the point. Is it right or wrong
to support preachers Now, I am not
seeking controversy. am seeking
for the scriptures where it teaches to
not support preacher. l have been
guilty Of giving them money to pay
for their services, to help feed their
families, to keep the muzzle off the OK
so they could go on and preach the gos'
pei and give themselves continually tc
the Word and prayer and not be forced
to leave his work and serve tables.
Now, if am disobeying God, show me
the scripture, chapter and verse AND
don't commence pointing out some nm
worthy one or the abuse someone has
made of the trust committed to hit
charge.
