Should a pastor that spends most of his time preaching and teaching get paid for what God has him to do? I know what the scriptures says about this, but would you pastor for free?

Mr. Kenny~writes~"This does not include fakes, frauds or imposters.= do not pay the frauds and impostors...."
We are so glad you cleared that up..... Well that just about includes the entire 23,000 sects of christianity around the world.
Fire them ALL now~~~

Should pastors get paid ? I like to keep in mind every work done never go unpaid. We as man have a tendency to want or to expect to get paid right here right now. As Luke 6:23 "Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets" . We have to be able to rejoice in that day an leap for joy knowning our reward is not on earth, but in heaven. We know and believe God will take care of all people regargless of who we are, what we are, and how we are. we must keep in mind "what you reap is what you........." With that being said, sow great thing and yu will reap great things. Which is having life abundantly. Your pay is your blessings.
Really it is all about control,... every denomination has its control features,... And Rome controls it all with total unbridled Idolatry...Violating the very Torah it first accepted.

Since 1841 Wescott and Hort renditions of the original KJV you all revere, sadly your English versions have been altered to fit the dogma of Rome and certainly not the teachings of a first century Rabbi...why because in Israel and especially Torah study,...nothing changes for the most part.

Rome on the other hand has a never ceasing struggle to please all there masses with generational lies...Simply at the end of the day we are all born into the Lie" and we need to dig out of the quagmire....

Other than venerating some of the great students of YHVH / Rabbis of note and there particular slant to a custom or say may be more into personal Self nullification type teaching than another sect perhaps,... then that is all there is.

But I can't walk the Torah walk...How silly,... if your Rabbi could do it..You can do it Walk,.. the Derech = the WAY" as Yeshua did~~ who always prayed "Our Father" Right,..he never claimed to be G-d,... but that G-d was within him and you and me.

See G-d is everything, including me. Go ahead say it...Yeshua did,... you can too,.. Look into the Mirror and say this; The Kingdom of G-d is here and then point to your heart,... your very essence is the Essence of YHVH the Master of the Multi-verse..If that is to heavy go watch the video on the previous page:
That is the oneness of YHVH with Israel,... as One unit.... as a Hubby and his virtuous woman Echad/one from the ONE!

Hope that helps someone find the ShekinahLife

The theory of the Torah walk is that you can do it better and that is passed on to the next generation...your Son (s) and so on..and ...so on.
I feel a pastor should do whatever God called him to do whether it's free or not you can never put a price on the acceptance to the call of ministry nor can you put a price on any soul our reward is due in Heaven which will last for eternity that's far longer and greater than a weekly paycheck.  Never have I seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread; God supplies for his own whether it be through a job or through the church it shouldn't matter as long as God is doing his job we should always do ours.
I HOPE SO BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO MINSTER THE WORD OF GOD FOR A LIVING AND I HAVE A FAMILY TO SUPPORT. I MEAN 24/7 SO IF I DO THAT HOW WOUD I GET BY BESIDES BY FAITH. EVEN WHEN THE LORDS ARCH WAS ESTABLISHED GOD KNEW THAT THE ARAON AND THE PEOPLE WORKING IN THE TABERNACLE NEED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF THE OFFERINGS TO SURVIVE. OR MABEY I NEED TO READ IT OR I AM STILL A YOUNG BABE IN CHRIST OR YOUNG ADULT LOL.... GOD BLESS
The true man of God doesn't minister to make a living,he lives to minister..

That question is 100 fold not two fold because it comes down to if the Pastor is 100% full time meaning their Pastoral duites keeps them from working for job, meaning they have a large church anywhere from 250 people and up ,where they are always couselling members differernt times every day of the week and travel consistingly to minister aroyund to fellowship churches etc.
I can not see a Pastor requesting a pay check with 5 members and no one gets saved, delivered and set free. And have 90% of the week free to work a regular job. I call them greddy dogs.
I have personally meet a pastor who have 6 members and get $2000 a month from the church is in a upper middle class area.
I can see having a envlope for people to give a love gift to a Pastor with a few members thats helping them grow in God.
100 FOLD isn't speaking of money, its speaking of souls won for Christ through the preaching of the word of God...
John 10:11 "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep."y because he's working only for the money and doesn't really care about the sheep. John 10:13

The Bible says many are called but few are chosen. If you are called and not chosen you might think you deserve something. I f you are a chosen vessel then you know you don't deserve anything and His Grace is sufficient. God knows the heart. This is why The Word says many on that day will try to justify their service by crying: did I not cast out demons and heal the sick in your name. And He Will reply; depart from me you worker of iniquity. Seek yea first the Kingdom of God and the rest will be added to you. Going into ministry to get paid is like pimping the word. That'll get you front row seat in HELL....
yup
The Lord does not speak other than in his word the bible....
For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:21

But suppose they respond, 'This is a prophecy from the LORD!' Then you should say, 'This is what the LORD says: Because you have used this phrase, "prophecy from the LORD," even though I warned you not to use it, Jeremiah 23:38

The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. Jeremiah 23:28

We are forbidden from God to prophesise in His name. Why? Because there are false prophets in the world (chaff) . A curse is connected to using "thus says the Lord". Rightly dividing the Word comes from studying the Word to be approved by God and diligently seeking Him. I believe God can speak to us in many other ways but the Word is clear on Prophesesing in God's name.
