False claim[1], Paul Says Elders Are Entitled To Pay for 'Preaching & Teaching,' But Jesus Says No"

  1. This is not what Paul says, and in fact Paul, and Barnabas who was a levite, was more in compliance with Jesus than most modern Christians concerning the ministers of Christ. You need to learn about who the elders were and what Jesus meant by disciples and getting rid of your personal estates and why.
    People like to quote Matthew 10[2] suggesting that ministers should not be paid or eat of the offerings like Paul says. But this was a one-time thing, to learn to walk in faith. Later Jesus says take your purse[3] and even a sword.
    Jesus' ministry was even supported by offerings from poor and wealthy alike.[4]
    The practice of Pure Religion requires ministers providing for the needy Christians in a system of Corban supported by charity rather than men who exercises authority that would make the word of God to effect like the Corban of the Pharisees. see treasury

  3. ↑ Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
