Recently I was not a Christian. I initially stumbled across your videos while looking up reviews on the McPherson Sable guitar, which I did end up purchasing. However, I suddenly found my KZfaq algorithm filled with more of your videos, which I watched intently because the pair you are so well spoken and likable. As time went on my focus of learning more rock songs changed to learning worship songs, and again stumbling across your worship song tutorials. Then videos of wanting to know more about Christ. Within the matter of 2 months I went from questioning if God is real, to wanting to learn more about Him and ultimately becoming a believer. Hats off to you two gentlemen. What a blessing you’ve been to me. God is most definitely using you to reach people.

My wife and i began to tithe about 20 years ago. It was definitely a step out on faith at that time. Today we are not rich by any means, we do own a home, we have 2 vehicles paid off. I own my own small business and my wife hasn't had to work in many years. I feel I am blessed beyond all that i need. Sure i would like a larger home, a new truck, etc... but i dont need it and i am blessed not to have the financial burdens of carrying them. GOD IS GOOD and He is faithful!

YES to this conversation! Giving and tithing is so important and I’ve seen God’s faithfulness and provision because of tithing and giving! Even if i didn’t have much!

I am southern baptist, my dad is a retired southern baptist pastor. I tithe, I play weekly and do not get paid. My 14 year old son who is a drummer does get paid, he tithes. Our church is very responsible and gives a lot to missions. Tithing is part of being in Christ. WT I continue to be very happy watching your content and how grounded y'all are in the Word. Thank you.

Thanks guys. This is a great video. A lot of good content!!

I'm like 8 minutes into this video and I already love this so much! I am a volunteer Worship and Tech Ministry Director and have been watching your videos mostly for tech tips and entertainment purposes, but hearing you guys humbly talk about God's word and using the truths in it as the basis for your life and your logic gives me so much more respect for you guys! Speaking out against prosperity gospel and talking about songs being biblically based is not a popular thing in modern worship. Keep it up guys! Way to store up your treasures in heaven!

I do! I’ve heard from our pastor preach 3 things: 1. Giving honors God 2. Saving builds wealth And 3. Living on the rest teaches contentment

Very nice!! Glad to see this type of conversation in this channel. I hope it keeps happening. Thank you and Blessings!!!

Thank u guys for being a big example to me and sharing this..not too many people talk about this topic and I'm very happy u guys did..yes times are tuff but God does honor his servants who honor him..Thank You brothers and it'll be nice if u guys bring out other topics like this to encourage us...Thanks again and God bless you brothers 🙏🙂

I wish I could have been a part of this conversation. Thanks for sharing. Can I call in next time? BTW, cool guitars! I'll try to summarize a few thoughts from some of the presented topics. 1. There is no biblical precedent for how tithing is practiced today. At no point in the Bible was a tithe collected from a monetary wage although it's evident money was widely traded and wages were earned during those times (Haggai 1:6). 2. To understand Malachi 3 one has to read the whole book of Malachi. In Malachi 1:1 the narrative is towards the "children of Israel" and the narrative is narrowed towards the Levitical Priests in Malachi 1:6 and 2:1. There's no clear change in the direction of the narrative through Malachi 3 so the tithe indictment cannot be universally applied wither historically or currently. In chapter 2 the Priests are chastised for bringing foul offerings for sacrifices. It makes sense they are also being chastised in Chapter 3 for not bringing the WHOLE of the tithe items, not just select parts of it, to the Temple storehouse. Also, we see the reference to FOOD in my house - not money, consumable items. The ordinances under Mosaic Law that facilitated systematic tithing are now obsolete (Hebrews 8:13) 3. Abraham (Abram at the time) submitted a one-time honorarium to Melchizedek in exchange for wine & bread. There's no biblical evidence this transaction was required by God, that it established any precedent, or that Abraham ever "tithed" again. There is historical evidence that his submission was in alignment with the pagan custom of the time. 4. There's no biblical evidence that Jacob ever tithed. He made a conditional promise to do so if God provided for him as he had envisioned. If he were obligated to tithe, he would have no latitude to make his promise conditional. It's interesting how his lineage carried out his promise to tithe under Mosaic Law. 5. Only consumable items from within Israel were accepted as a systematic tithe deliverable under Mosaic Law. There was the "tithe of the land" and the "tithe of the herd" (Leviticus 27:30-32). No mention of tithing from earned wages or tithing money with the possible exception of the land tithe redemption, and there was a penalty assessed for doing so. 6. Jesus referenced tithing in Matthew 23:23 when he chastised the Pharisees for their pious attitude while they carried out the least of the ceremonial tithing ordinance in place at that time, while neglecting more important moral matters. Notice again the reference "mint, dill, and cumin", not money in that passage. 7. Yes, gifts are different than biblical, systematic tithes, which were required. As such, tithing isn't a form of giving. That which is compulsory is a payment, like a tax, which essentially was the function of tithing under Mosaic Law - to support the Levitical theocracy, the poor, and for consuming and sharing at the festivals. Summary: There's nothing wrong with practicing tithing as a discretionary way to give systematically. Yes, we should support our local church, other ministries, charities etc. Where we get into trouble is when today's version of tithing from earned wages to a religious institution is taught as a universal, continuous, biblical mandate. This victimizes the less fortunate to be bound to pay money they can't afford in the hopes they won't "be cursed" or otherwise "not blessed". Today's version of tithing can't be seen as an act of biblical obedience since it has no biblical precedent. We're free to give, not bound to pay. Blessings.

YES. We’re asked to give “first fruits,” so 10% before other stuff. Definitely not easy when you see the actual number that you’re giving away, but trust in the Lord is paramount. He provides what we NEED, not what we often WANT. Love your “Brian’s name” comment. So true. Appreciate this kind of content!

I know that tithing is a hotly debated topic in the church today. While I will not debate for or against tithing on this video, one of the areas God has blessed me in is the area of giving. A decade ago I was a long term unemployed person living in my mom’s basement. I made the decision to give to God after He prompted me to. Within a few months, I found a full time job and was back on my feet. I can tell you many times over the last decade how God has blessed me and my now wife because we obeyed the moving of God in that area.

On the same note we are in church encouraged to give don't let your left hand see what your right hand is doing

You guys mentioned something along the lines of “this is not what people come to our channel for”, but personally I really enjoyed this video a lot! I would love to see more theological discussion content. Tithing is something I’ve always struggled with, not because I ever believed it wasn’t necessary, but more as a reflection of my own struggle to trust God with my finances. I really appreciate this truth and encouragement, keep it up fellas

My thoughts before watching: The “tithe” is a Biblical principle that pre-dates the Law and exists for the benefit of the believer (much like the Sabbath), teaching us to live on less so that we prioritize generous living. The case can certainly be made that we aren’t obligated to the tithe as New Testament Christians, but the expectation we do have as followers of Christ is that of sacrificial generosity (which arguably can/should dwarf the obligatory tithe). The tithe is the training wheels of generosity.

We cheerfully give a certain amount of our money and time to our church. Idk if it works out to 10% or whatever, but it’s fun!

What an amazing video, more of this guys!!! God Bless and protect you in Jesus name, Amen! 🙂

Did not expect to hear a Village, OK shout out! My wife and I's first house was in the village. Also super small but we loved it. Great memories there. Regarding tithing: My personal mindset is 1. the money isn't mine to begin with. Though I worked for it, the job I have and the ability to work is a blessing. 2. More money just isn't going to make my life any happier. I have what I need and my family is taken care of and that's more than enough. I tithe out of gratitude and from a place of not wanting money to have a hold on my mind/heart. Would it be nice to update the same gear I've been using forever? Yeah! But I'd rather just live in gratitude that I even have gear to use for worship and continue giving to my local church and seeing people come to know Christ. This is a tough topic but man I appreciate you guys being willing to talk about it and provide a space for dialogue.

Our church practices grace giving. Give something, but don't be constrained to a set number. Give what you can. If you can't give financially, then give your time.

I'm part of our worshipteam at my church. I play guitar, an play ( usually) 4 services a week. Wes,Saturday, and 2 on Sunday s. I'm practicing the set lists ,at least 3 to 4 hrs after I get off work. Making sure I have the tones down,my parts as well. Almost all my down time goes to the church. I don't get paid,but do believe that is my tith. Now if I wasn't playing, then yes I would be tithing. And wouldn't have no problem with it. I give freely..

I believe there is a blessing for those who tithe (not necessarily always financial). Most pastors I have worked for are afraid of appearing greedy or manipulative, and their action shows they value their reputation more highly than their congregation being blessed.

Enjoyed this, thanks fella’s!

It’s probably a humidifier, but I like to imagine that little bit of haze behind Brian is a smoking tube amp.

Great video guys! nice to have a little different content. Tithing is a win every time.

Good discussion! I agree with your criticism of the health and wealth movement. However y'all play and promote music by churches such as Bethel that teach not only health and wealth but various other heretical doctrines. How do y'all feel about that? That might be a good topic for a future video.

I have yet to find a church that manages their finances well so I have a hard time with this. I'd much rather donate the money to organizations that are doing what churches should be than to see that money mismanaged.

For me, if i want to donate/give a love gift to a specific ministry/usage, it is outside of my tithes :)

We should be giving God back what is already his. He gives us what we need and want if we put our faith and trust in him.

You have to remember that a tith in the bible wasn't money. It was what they had. Live stock,food, and yes ,their time... Yet , it's money now. Which isn't biblical. But I have no problem tithing money when I'm not playing... love your channels brother s.. and thanks for the insight. . God bless

Absolutely tithe your time, talent, and treasure. God doesn't need our money. He can do more with 10% then we can do with the other 90%. Its a heart issue.

My wife and I tithe, and have since we were married almost 18 years ago. Money has been tight and we've had excess. But we've always been blessed and never did without. Today, when I look around and try to figure out how I ended up where I am, it can only be God's blessings. He honors obedience.

Well done guys. I believe scripture is clear about tithing. I would add that the Lord loves a cheerful giver. If you tithe, but doing it with a spirit well I have too…. It all came from the Lord and it is only right that we give back to Him for Him to use as He wishes. I can honestly say there were months we didn’t know how we were going to pay our bills, and mathematically it didn’t work, but somehow we paid them. We are committed to tithing and we are committed to cheerfully give it to the Lord for Him to use as He pleases, because it’s his anyway.

Before watching, my take on tithing from experience is that Gods word says that you will be blessed if you give. Some people say that they can’t afford to tithe, but I say that I can’t afford NOT to tithe. The blessings from giving and being obedient far outweigh the small amount of money you sacrifice for the Lord.

me and my wife have proven this in our 19 years of marriage - and will turn 20 this year (blessed with 4 healthy kids), blessing in tithing is real...that's all. we are not that rich but we get our daily bread in so many ways...i thank GOD for that!

Such a great video!

That's the thing about money, you need it to survive. You don't need to play on Sunday to survive

El Diezmo es una bendición de las mas especiales que conozco. bendiciones desde Chile

I am from India and I see a lot of work being done for christ here by so many pastors who dont even have their own churches, they are not aware where will the food come from tomorrow or if their children be able to keep going school or they will be thrown awayby school next month for non-payment of the fees. There is so much persecution for them but still they keep continuing doing Gods great work of preaching to masses who are not aware of him. Seeing their struggle it becomes the responsibility of others who are given a regular source of income to support them and help them continue their livelihood while they focus on God. I understand most of your viewers dont have to face persecution wherein they could be hit or even killed by an angry mob just for taking jesus’name, but for us giving tithe is a blessing !

Excellent content guys

When Abraham paid a tithe to Melchizedek, it was, believed to be by some scholars, a war tax from spoils of a battle just fought. In Jasher (a book mentioned in the OT), Melchizedekwas Shem. He was at the time the rightful ruler of the earth. But there were usurpers (Nimrod, etc) which refused to recognize it. Later, the Israelites were given the Divine Law under Moses. The tithe was a tenth tax that went to support the nation’s government and infrastructure. God recognized man’s ownership of his own labor (what man earned from his own labor was his). God required the tithe for His labor. So if a man harvested trees, he would pay a tithe on the trees (God’s labor). Then if he built furniture with the wood he would not be taxed again. That was man’s labor. We are in a Babylon type captivity at present. We are taxed and there is a system in place for helping the poor, etc. If you wish to give to 501c3 non-profits, which are in reality “para-church ministries” , then that is Spirit-led giving.

Great points guys!!!!

The tithing principle predates the the Levitical Law in the example of Abraham giving a tenth to Melchizedek. Tithing is a challenge by the Lord, he challenges our faith with trusting Him with money. He presents us with a choice. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord

with all that being said, any pastor would re-affirm God doesn't love tithers any more than non-tithers, and that God isn't short of cash. Christian's don't get any "brownie points" over others when they tithe. Of course, it's very generous and helpful for the local church.

Some real life choices: to tithe or 1) use those funds for much needed medical care for loved ones; 2) pay back my student loans which is causing much despair; 3) provide a better life for my family such as nicer clothes and healthier meals. also, we happen to go to a church where tithes and church finances are allocated to the pastor's children's education at pricey private colleges rather than advancing the ministry. kind of unsettling...do we just turn a blind eye to where those tithes go?

The first church in the book of Acts explains giving

Yes. For me it starts with the personal conviction that NOTHING belongs to me but EVERYTHING belongs to God. If you get ok with this, giving a tithe is really the least we can do. Sure the church needs to be funded but it is funded because people/individuals are convicted to God is Lord of all and want to honor Him as such.

My personal conviction is 10% of my income goes to my local church as leadership sees fit. Anything else after that is "general giving", whether it be to individuals (missionaries, personal encounters with people in need) or organizations (charities or churches). I don't view taxed income as my own (because it's the government's) -- thus I don't use it for my tithe calculation (vs. "general giving"). However, for our family that is a mere accounting nuance because the total going out is way more than gross income anyway. I find that lots of giving (at least with people I personally know, including myself) is hampered by, as Dave Ramsey would say, "using money we don't have (debt), to buy things we don't need (lifestyle), to impress people we don't even know (vanity)". It's fine to enjoy nice things, but I think we make the line with giving vs. saving vs. enjoyment complicated so we can hide our sinful affections. Finances with a clear purpose, held with an open hand, done in seeking to grow in generosity is the trend that I think sets apart those who are in Christ vs. those who only want to appear like they are in Christ. Generosity may have no universal income percentage or path in life that we all follow identically, but it does share a universal spirit (Christ's) and purpose (intentional worship). Hebrews 12:3-4 always helps me as a struggle with my own obedience, even in my finances: "Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. 4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood." None of this is easy, but that's why we rely on biblical community to "...exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin." (Hebrews 3:13). Great discussion guys, thanks for posting! And even though I almost never comment -- I love the normal gear/music/worship content too! Keep it up!

Letssss goooo and tithe.

Guys can you give advice on where to get good deals on guitars❤

On the topic of tithing before or after taxes: Tithe FIRST. First fruits. The only caveat is if the money is withheld from your check before you receive it. I can see this as reasonable since you never had the money. I try to tithe before I even buy anything because tithe is FIRST.

Any thoughts on if it’s meant to be specifically for church ministries or should the giving we do to missions or other things count toward that 10% we are called to?

I do believe in tithing but I don’t believe it’s a must do type of thing however if you love the church you are in then why wouldn’t you want to support it. What has really put me off in previous churches I’ve been to is when the pastor rocks up in a Porsche and I’m struggling to rub two pennies together but that judgment is for God, not for me however it still stings! I like the verse PROVERBS 11:25 “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

I always tell people when they have question on this topic by saying "Well it's not really Biblical to say this, but I bet you would agree with me. If you are not comfortable financially supporting the church you are attending, that church is not worth attending. You need to find a church that's worth your financial support." And Starbucks, let's choose other coffee places that don't support PP. But wait, Amazon does that, too. Am I being a hypocrite? Oh boy lol!

It's not a matter of if it's a law or not. The tithe predates the law and wasn't done as a matter of legal duty, it was done in faith, in reverence and love for God. Tithing and giving in general is a matter of the heart. The first murder was over an offering. One with the right motives and the other was not. God accepted one and rejected the other. Something to think about... Either you trust God or you don't and either you love God or you don't and either you fear God in reverence or you don't. If we feel we have no need for giving in any way or set amounts, we show ourselves greedy which is idolatry. We must also give when we choose to with the right motives. It's not about getting something back but being blessed for being a blessing. The Law that was fulfilled was about righteousness for salvation. There are social and cultural laws but moral laws about how we treat God and others have no end date. The law Jesus He said He came to fulfill was everything needed to not only atone for our sin but to redeem us from our sin to fulfill the sacrifice needed to satisfy the wrath of God. Idolatry is not changed or redefined because Jesus died and rose again. It comes down to trust/faith, love and reverence. If you are looking for excuses for why you don't give, then it only shows your motives are selfish. Earmarking money for specific things is also a form of manipulation especially if you withhold money unless you get your way. I'm glad you did this video and have the stance you do based on Biblical views and principles. Thanks guys!

Guys I really love and admire this discussion guys. But in my church all the tithes goes to the pastor not the church. No compromise on this

I love this topic. Tithe, definitely.

I'm concerned that we're taking one verse (or maybe a couple) from the Old Testament, out of context, and saying it applies to us today. The least we can do is check out the context and decide if it's a prescriptive or descriptive passage (hint: it's descriptive, it was a one-time thing). There are some decent rational arguments made here ("why did God give us the Old Testament if we are supposed to ignore it?"), but it is clear that this topic was not approached from a theological standpoint. (The guys said it themselves, I'm not insulting or accusing them.) Something to consider, since it was brought up several times throughout the video: Jesus talked about tithing. Yes, but He hadn't fulfilled the Law yet because He hadn't died and resurrected.

If he gave me the desires of my Heart I would have to buy a 2nd place, because I would fill the one I am in with all kinds of frivolous stuff like to many Guitars and magnatone amp. all those modellers, kemper, Fm9, helix, I do not have any of those yet. etc, etc. We are Greedy by nature are we not?? Great video Guys.

Create scriptural contexts here team 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

This whole thing about tithing is huge on people's minds. People just want to know what is the right approach to understanding our responsibility to our God and our Family. First of all let me get this out there. We the people that are Christians are responsible for the financial giving to the local church. The church has bills and missions and the widows and poor and community issues that need to be financially met by the church meaning the people of the church which is the church. We have pastors and elders that are leading and responsible for the dispersement of those finances. If your church is a one man show where one man is in control of all the finances of that church and all the preaching and teaching GET OUT of that church. The leadership of a church needs to give and have accountability as to how those funds are being applied. Yes there are salaries and bills and missions and the poor and widows and many needs that are all scriptural, but must be in balance. That being said, it is clear that if you rightly divide the word of God the Bible teaches that tithing is not a new testament doctrine. Tithing in the old testament was given once a year and was all based on agricultural seed. If you didn't have livestock or grain or harvest of wheat or other seed and you gave money or gold or silver you had to add 20% to the tithe or 10% equaling 30%. We are not under the old testament law as clearly taught by Paul the apostle that Jesus assigned to the church. Paul knew the law inside and out and never once taught tithing. He taught giving as you purpose in your heart whether bountifully or sparingly. Now seed is seed and will produce no matter what you call it. You can call it tithing, giving, offering or go fund me. The seed produces after it's own kind. A money seed produces a money return. I am not against someone calling their seed tithing if that is what they purpose in their heart to sow. I am against teaching Gods people that if they do not tithe they are robbing God and are under a curse. That is teaching by ignorant people that do not understand how to rightly divide the truth. 2Tim.2:15. Most of us live beyond our means and have made our cost of living higher than it should be and therefore cannot give enough to our church. We need to fix that if that is you. I believe we should be giving more than 10% in my opinion. That being said while in your current situation taking care of your bills and family comes first. However we should not allow ourselves to stay in that position. We need to do all we can to support our churches. It is our family. We all need to believe God for our finances including the pastors and quit teaching on tithing every Sunday because of fear disguised as just teaching the people. People are sick of hearing it and that is one of the reasons people quit going to church. We are to love one another and believe the best of one another. That applies to all of us whether in or out of the pulpit. Everything I have stated in this letter is backed by Scripture and many hours of searching for balance and rightly dividing Scripture. I have been taught many unscriptural things in the past and have taught them myself. I had to put everything I was ever taught under the microscope of scripture to see if it holds true. That is what we all must do. There are those even in the pulpits that are unteachable and prideful and cannot admit they are wrong about tithing. After all they have written books and sermons. It takes a humble and teachable man to admit they were wrong. I will follow a man like that anywhere. God bless all of you.

This was a great conversation! Agree with everything you all said. To add to a point you were talking about - you guys were talking about people giving "things" to the church and saying that is their "tithe". I agree with you guys, that that is not right. BECAUSE the Bible does talk about and Tithe AND Offerings. Offerings is where I think those things lie. The things ABOVE your tithe (As you guys mentioned). Giving money towards the worship ministry, or donating gear, so on and so forth. Great video, guys.

The 100% belongs to God and He's good to let me take the other 90% for me... For me, even if I had all my effort on my work, if He is not blessing me, I'll fail... so... is not my effort but the grace of God. As human being I want money for my desires and God is not taking that/money from me... Just 1 tenth as act of obey... And even for the other 90%, I need use with wisdom.

What’s the advice if you attend various churches and consider each one a home in their own ways. Not just one home. Where do you tithe there? Do you split between them, give to the one with higher need?

My pastor always said that his mother told him. Son if you dont give your tithes to God, you will end up losing that money somehow. Might as well give what God is owed because he has given you the ability to work and make money, it's biblical as well. But if you dont, maybe you'll end up paying for a new tire or something who knows.

Yes I tithe. The gross not the net. Look at Hebrews 7:8 and have been truly blessed by it. Would I have been blessed without tithing? I don't know and I rather not find out.

Well I guess Bradford will not be getting that novo serus anytime soon. The Green one!!!

Giving to the church is scriptural. Tithing is not new testament doctrine. We should be giving more then ten percent. Jesus mentioned tithing because that was still old testament. If we rightly divide the word it is clear that there are many differences from the old testament and the new testament. Seed is seed no matter what you call it. What bothers me is when preachers tell people that they are cursed for not tithing. That is error. The old testiment is a schoolmaster. We are not under the law. No one is really tithing according to scripture anyway

There were no war cries, guys God now’s us intimately and now’s this truth “ we move in the direction of our most dominant thought” that’s why the Levite’s sang so those who followed would focus on the goodness old God

I have a hard time attending any church let alone tithe, in my opinion faith is extremely prone to dogma and has historically led to conflict over disagreement. I feel as if we need to move onto a belief system that does not have these inherent problems over conflicts of belief. In my opinion faith should not involve historical beliefs but rather should acknowledge our lack of knowledge of the big picture of what we are and why we are, because at the end of the day there are many questions in human life that will go unanswered until we cease to exist- the basis of faith should lie in proper alignment of one with one’s self and one with one’s peers/environment and should be based on peace love and respect , it shouldn’t require any leaps of faith or beliefs in history. I know I’m kind of repeating myself

Wow Are you from the house of Levi? The Tithe were to care for the tribe of Levi.

We should tithe 10% of all our income. Period. In my church we talk openly on the Sunday service about tithing one month every two years.

I feel that you should ask God what Her would have you to give and follow that whether its $5.00 or $500.00. Listen to the Spirit.

I am of the opinion you should TITHE. Tithe your time, your money, your energy and effort. I mean, come on, did Jesus only save 10% of you? The giving back to God via the tithe is a bargain for what we've been saved from. The text of Jesus talking about taxes and the image of Caesar on the coins gives us a clue when we ask what image is on us? If we're made in God's image, we're His children and all that comes with it. We tithe and then give gifts above the tithe to support missionaries/youth/etc. I am convinced, no youth that wants to go on a missions trip shouldn't be able to go because of just "money". And God gives back. I joke that we get better gas mileage in our vehicles because we tithe.

I think you are missing the important things in this video, In the wide shot why is there steam behind Brian?

Let every man give as he's determined in his heart Leviticus 27:30 tells us what The 10th is even in Jesus day it was Dil spice and cumin the tithe was established the Levites who did not inherit any land like the rest of the tribes of Israel therefore the tithe was established bring the whole tithe so that there would be food in my house

Based on the title may I ask why wouldn’t you tithe “support” the local church you attend?

It's not The Village, it's "Nichols Hills Area".... ;) That's how it was described to me as a village resident LOL.

Gross income is not your income because some of it belongs to the Government, Gross income is not yours to give away. People that do not realize this literally go to jail. I agree with everything you said, but some people need a reminder to pay their taxes.

To Tithe or not to tithe? :) To Tithe all the way!

I used to be on the financial team, and praise and worship team, at a church of which used that Malachi 3:10 scripture on their tithing envelopes 😂

Jesus mentioned the tithe because he was living in the law and fulfilling it. He went to Temple, etc etc. After He fulfilled it, we were no longer enslaved to it. No where in the New Testament is tithing, as we know it, taught. No, instead- “each gave as he could”. It’s the modern churches and pastors that have hijacked tithing to fund their ministries. I implore anyone reading this to go to Scripture about this

26:00 I tithe out of my take home pay and then tithe out of my tax refund so it equals out to tithing out of gross and a little more

You know, I hear what you're saying. I've been playing guitar for over 20 years. I'm active duty Navy, been a Christian all my life, and have served at many many churches across the country. Never once been paid or on staff or even been offered a thank you gift or anything. So for you guys to sit there and say, "it's gross and offensive" to think I bought these things for myself to worship with as a form of tithe, really was punch to the gut. You don't know my heart, my intentions, the sacrifices I've Made to purchase the gear. I've never played at a bar or club or venue, only ever at churches. Just for God. For over 20 years. Sorry I gross you out.

What harm does it do to tithe? Giving to your church is good.IMO If you don’t trust your church to steward your money, find a different church.

Tithe is OT .It was Gods social security for Israel.. the tithe was literal produce of the land , like wine cattle wheat etc.. so that my house may be filled with food, is literal food for the festivals , all Israel ate the tithe not just the Priests. Tithers think 10% Gods , 90 % mine... But tithing dosent add to the blessing Gods has blessed those who believe. Just as Jesus fulflled all the Law , so the tithe we are not bound. We new covenant are givers.. 100% Gods I am Gods steward. Christians teach they are not under law, but grace , yet resurrect the OT tithe. Some teach except u tithe u will not be blessed...

Teaching the tithe from a beat you up if you don’t is not a correct teaching

Its not murder. Its thou shalt not kill.

Tithing and offerings are 2 seperate things. Tithing is more of a commitment. For example, if we decide to live within the US and any of the states, we also commit to pay taxes in order to better our environment. Same goes for God’s church. Tithing should be 10% of our income no debate because that is the example that was established in the bible. Offerings can be financial and services dedicated to God.

New testimony giving is not 10 percent. It’s all His. Everything about this video is out of context and not understanding that Jesus was under the law when He said those things.

Yep the infamous faith teaching and baseball bat mentality
