Changes

According to Saint [[CatholicPaul]]sthe Apostle, as those who serve it was common practice in the altar should live by New Testament Church to provide for ministers of the altar Gospel ([http1Cor 9://www.ccel.org/c/challoner/douayrheims/1_Corinthians/09.html 1 Cor 9:13)]-14). Though he himself was demonstrating that he did not participate in this practice, provision for the sake of some kind had necessarily to be made for building up new communities, the clear implication is that the sacred ministerspractice was commonplace.

In the beginning this was supplied by the spontaneous offerings of the faithful. In the course of time, however, as the Church expanded and various institutions arose, it became necessary to make laws write canons which would ensure the proper and permanent support of the clergy.

Many Christians (both Catholic support the [[Church]] and her [[Protestantpastor]]) support their churches and pastors s with monetary contributions of one sort or another. Frequently Sometimes these monetary contributions are called tithes whether or not they actually represent ten-percent of anything. However, as tithing was an ingrained Jewish custom by the time of [[Jesus]], no specific command to tithe per se is found in the [[New Testament]]. References to tithing in the New Testament can be found in [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]], [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]], and the catholic epistle to the [[book of Hebrews]].
