Great explanation, Dave, for explaining tithing for business. Tithe on the profit (i.e. the increase). Great point, too, it is the "spirit" of the thing because we are stewards of what God has given. It is ALL His.
If you're a Christian and member of a church and you're NOT tithing, YOU ARE MISSING A BLESSING!!! I wish I could say I've been tithing all my life. I didn't start until I was in my 40's. If I had been taught properly, I would have started as a child. People need to focus on the second half of this verse. God will INDEED "open you the windows of heaven". I've gotten so much since I started tithing, that I am trying to give more away. The more I give to the church, the more I give away to other charities. It may not make any sense, but God is true to his word. 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Come on, people!! Not every church and Pastor is evil. just how not a public school can have good and bad teachers. If somebody wants to support their church great!. The same way if somebody wants to support their public school it's a good idea and it shows care for a community
@NurturingTalents If you wouldn't want to read it, then don't buy it. I don't agree with everything Dave does. But, he is well versed on the Bible and tithing.
I tithe 10% of my income before taxes. How else are the lights gonna stay on, the building not be in shambles etc. How else would we have what we need I continue His work? Also when we give, we open the doors of blessings to us for being obedient and helping others. We help a lot of families with bills and food. One time I was on the receiving end because of job loss and going through a hardship. What goes around comes around.
That rather makes tithing the dues you pay for an exclusive club. Some makes it to charity of course, but you could eliminate the middle man and give direct. Alternatively: "Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." What churches are selling is the *promise* of everlasting life, with no evidence that they can fulfill that promise.
Hmm I don’t give any money to the church and my lights stay on just fine, the apartment isn’t in shambles etc. God isn’t real and he has no affect on any of those things
This was one of the best questions from a caller that I've heard/seen! I wholeheartedly believe in tithing and giving. Especially first fruit Offerings. I'm glad you guys gave a more in depth response to this question
8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.
If its the very words of god, why are there so many different versions of it? None of them are his original words since they’re now lost in translation.
What’s all so found in the Bible is directly who tithing is for . The fact that you don’t read the Bible but rather follow in your own interpretation of the Bible that suits you.
gus mueller sin is a sin , christianity is supposedly about non-judgment you and many are way passed that . Hypocrites , stealing, lying, lusting , shacking up , greed , sin is a sin you can’t tell a person what to do with their body and how to walk their walk , how to feel , judgment is the reason all those babies body’s buried under the Vatican .
If you read scriptures carefully, you will find out that the tithe was on the increase of the land. The intention was to support the Levites bc they didn't own their own farmland.
The church needs the money and if someone is a member of the church they are church, meaning apart of the church. We support the community by giving financially and by physical charitable work, helping those in hospitals, prisons, nursing, homes, school scholarships, drug ministries, homeless shelters, food distribution, etc. And those who work for the church who manage and facilitate all these good deeds.
The tithe isn't supposed to pay the pastor but to feed the poor and help those in need. You can give it to the church and they will give it to the poor or you do it yourself. Again, the church can't use it for themselves. The church is uphold through donations that are separate from the tithe. Donations that are noted as tithe can't be used for the pastor. So no you can't buy a car on the tithe. Instead becoming a pastor you should rather figure out where Dave Ramsey enjoys to eat and become a waiter and buy your car from the tip. That's more likely to happen then becoming rich on tithe.
Each man should give as he has decided in his heart to give not reluctantly or under compulsion for God loves a cheerful giver- 2 Cor. 9:7. That is our command today for giving. The (tenth of increase) was given in Deuteronomy with the old law of Moses, the same law that demanded animal sacrifices. This law is not binding for us today (Romans 7:6, Hebrews 8:13). There is nothing inherently wrong with “tithing” 10%, but you certainly do not have to as a Christian. Give generously, and I would say give very generously because the Lord has given so much to you, but also give cheerfully (not because you have to).
The Bible is up to interpretation. Just because you believe what you do about tithing and the law of Moses, doesn't make it a fact (it may or may not be true in other words).
@@joeb1522 you are right that the Bible is up to interpretation, but it is our job as students of his word (those of us who are Christians) to strive to interpret it properly. The best way to do that is take the Bible for what it clearly says rather than inputting our own opinions. Not arguing just stating my case :D my original comment is a truth that comes from scripture and is in harmony with the rest of scripture.
@@owezzel The two are very similar, every offering we make today is free will. The difference is we do not have any minimum required offering like was required in the O.T. We are simply commanded to give something.
@@matt9741 if you don’t believe God that wakes us up and protects the just and the unjust don’t deserve a little 10% and free will offering, that’s on you man. But don’t make people feel what they are doing is wrong because God deserves100% of everything we make.
So this is what I'm trying to reconcile: I own a house and I rent out some rooms while I live in one of them. So if I look at it like a business, that I own, the business is increasing in value because of the mortgage principle that I get and any profit, but everything else (interest, utilities, property tax, HOA, etc.) Would be a business expense that is never causing any increase to the company that could be paid to me as the shareholder. So, do I only pay tithing on the principle and the profit? That is how I would look at any business that I might own - I assign some portion of the profit as a salary for myself and then pay tithing on that, but it seems odd because I would normally consider property tax or whatever housing expenses as just normal expenses and a normal part of my budget after paying tithing on the whole increase. Legitimately see it both ways.
MAJORITY OF CHURCHES ARE SMALL. And they need the income. My church isn’t small but technically isn’t a mega church either. It isn’t about the church needing your money. It’s about doing it for God and living your life according to the scripture.
Just drop a $20 in the collection plate and call it a day. The fact that you still owed $205k when you sold pretty much means you're a long way sista from being debt free.
Keep your money, the church doesn’t need it! Surely you truly know people who need it or homeless shelter. Volunteer and you will find what’s really a god send😇😇
@Patricia your missing the point. I don’t care what they do with the money. They’ll give accountability to God for that. My responsibility is to obey God’s word and keep it moving...💃🏼
The church does need it and if someone is a member of the church they are church, meaning apart of the church.

Am just thinking, if you sold your 250k house and needed the equity to move to a 500k house do you need to pay tithe on the 250k. Am conflicted on this one, if I sell my house, I don't see it as an income, as I need to move to a house that is going to cost me more.
@@HandfulOfTranquility The same principle would apply if you were moving into a $250k house. Would you tithe on the increase of one house to move into another home worth the same amount?
The Bible says tithe on "Increase". $250,000 wasn't an increase. The increase was the profit between what she paid ($215,000) vs the sale price ($250,000 minus the expenses that went to closing costs and expenses...that's her actual "Increase". So roughly $31,000 as she noted. So $3,100 would be her tithe. Remember it's different than income, this is profit off of something she invested in.
Can't imagine giving away 10% of my money because someone decided to write that in a book thousands of years ago. It's like, hmmm what is the max we can ask them to give away without them getting too upset. 10% sounds like a nice, round easy number, let's make it that.
It’s important to note that as Christians we don’t believe the Bible is some book that some guy just sat down and decided to write. We believe the Bible is Gods words. If it’s just a book written by some regular guy then I agree it’s ridiculous to follow it but we believe it’s from God and so that’s why we obey it and follow it
Wrong!!! If this is an investment property... YES, because this capital gain becomes income, then tithe on net gain. If this is your PPR, Principal Place of Residence, NO, because you would have to buy a house with a similar % increase in value over that time; worse if you are upsizing, to house that is bigger and more expensive, relatively; better if you are downsizing and then you could tithe, (as per Australian, Capital Gain Tax law)
No one "tithes" today per the biblical tithe. Tithing was part of Mosaic Law, handed down by God through Moses only for Jewish people. And they were to pay tithes of fruit, vegetables and livestock specifically to the tribe of Levi because ran the Temple and had no other form of income. Tithing in the Bible had nothing to do with money. The Apostle Paul clearly laid out in 2nd Corinthians chapter 9 how believers are supposed to give today. Learn your Bible and don't let a preacher ever guilt you into thinking you owe him 10% of your money. God may be leading you to give more or less depending on how He enables you and what He puts in your heart.
If a preacher is "guilting" anyone of giving them money they need to stop preaching. We don't "pay" tithe to the preacher we give to God as He has clearly stated in His Word. However it is also taught that a minister is worthy of his labor. If He works the altar he should be able to eat off of the alter. Paul teaches that very clearly as well.
@@sonialatham6467 there's no shortage of preachers who falsely teach the doctrine of tithing and bank on the high probability that most Christians don't really read their Bible all that much. Moses did not teach that tithing meant paying 10% of your monetary income to the church in Deuteronomy chapter 14, Numbers chapter 18 or Leviticus chapter 27 through the end of the book. In fact, in Leviticus, Moses stated that if you opted to pay cash instead of the titheable commodity, you had to pay 20% more. You can read it for yourself in Leviticus chapter 27 through the end of the book. Malachi did not blast the lay people in Malachi chapter 3 for robbing God. It was the corrupt priests who were stealing the tithes that the lay people had paid and using it for personal gain. Preachers love to quote Malachi 3:8-10 to guilt trip their flock. For Heaven's sake there are four chapters in Malachi. Read whole book to get the proper context. Jesus did not teach monetary tithing in Matthew chapter 22. He advised Jewish people to obey Jewish Mosaic Law, and rightfully so, as Jesus had not yet fulfilled the entire Law before His crucifixion. Even Gentiles in times of Christ on Earth were not required to observe Jewish Law. Why would they be today? The Apostle Paul never taught us to pay 10% . I would venture to say that God doesn't want 10% of anything. He owns it all and is owed all. Everything we do, including every dollar spent should be to the glory of God. There are many ways to give to God. Many preachers would have you think you can only give to God through them. Not so. I have a direct line to God through His Holy Spirit and can also make direct deposits to God in cash. We should absolutely give generously and sacrificially and our pastors should be able to rely on his flock for a steady stream of income. But its also a pastors job to teach the Word accurately. If he is genuinely called by God to minister to other and he does so with good intentions and accurate doctrine, preachers don't need to fleece the flock by errant teaching of the doctrine of tithing.
You should give what you desire from your heart......When you start going into all these calculations to make sure it is exactly a certain amount.....i believe all blessings are lost.
Tithing is not about receiving a blessing. It is about trying to honor and obey God. I agree that you shouldn’t be overly legal about finding the exact amount to the penny, but just stating that you shouldn’t be doing it just to be blessed either.
I wouldn't tithe for this. I know you shouldn't think of it as one, but buying a home is an investment. If it goes up in value, you should be reinvesting that money to compound so you'll have more if you choose to tithe in retirement.
Lady take the equity and build some wealth. You will give more in life if you put your self in a better spot. 30k equity is nothing and you need it to put down on the next house. Compound interest over years also compounds the giving you do
She didn't net anything. She tithed on the money she paid the mortgage with during that 2 years. You don't need to tithe anyway. You should give according to heart because God wants a cheerful giver. Don't let your pastor know about this money. He will lie to you!
I disagree. The bible is very clear on this. We are called to tithe 10% of all our increase, and this is to go to our home church. That's not to say that's all that's required and we shouldn't give anywhere else, but I think this was mandated to keep churches operating in our local communities.
@@feliciavale4279 That was old testament. Do you even know the complications with tithing? You have to tithe 10% of everything you own, receive etc... Not just money. It includes animals, jewlery, cars, everything you can imagine. So, no one can really tithe. And if you miss anything from the law, you fail 100%. Go read 2 cor 9:6-7. This is the kind of giving that God takes pleasure in. The idea that you leave the light bill unpaid because you had to pay tithe with the $100 is absolutely, absolutely ridiculous. God doesn't take pleasure in this kind of behavior. Don't also believe that if you fail to tithe. You automatically have all kinds of financial curses following your life. This is also a big LIE. I m a Christian and dont believe in tithing. I still prosper.
@@jeanlenor1858 when you don’t tithe, you rob God of a opportunity to bless you with your faithful giving. It’s like Ken said, it’s about the first fruits, being generous, and acknowledging everything comes from God.
@@jeanlenor1858 There are some aspects of what you said that I agree with, but I really don't like the example you used with the light bill. You give to God FIRST. You don't wait and see if theres enough left over, you trust God enough that He will provide some other way if it comes to that.
Its good to have a heart of giving but your answer is not scriptural. The tithe is 100% required. Its 10% of your increase and that is referring income and gifts toward you. Plus its all God's to begin with.
@@justinborchardt No, it's not required. God says to give from your heart. It was required in the Old Testament times for his people. The Apostle Paul says to give from your first fruits. That's the New Covenant. If you want to tithe, that's great, but it is not required.
@@justinborchardt I agree with you. But the Bible is up to interpretation, so it's reasonable people will disagree. Malachi says the windows of heaven will open to those who tithe 10%. Having the windows of heaven open seems pretty good to me.
You being an atheist doesn’t invalidate that God is real and one ☝🏻 day believe it or NOT you’ll give accountability to the creator of the heavens and earth 🌍 and thats a fact! Matthews 12:36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak.
@@shakfig2655 You are welcome to your beliefs. Christian principals are a wonderful foundation to build your behaviors off of whether or not you are a believer. Cheers.
Christians are encouraged by the apostle Paul to “set something aside” to contribute to fellow believers in need (relief ministry), however, tithing was not required in the 1st century.
True. To my knowledge, it was a requirement of the Mosaic law, therefore, Christians are not bound to it. There is not a command in the New Testament that gives the ten percent figure. I am not aware of what the Church Fathers teach about tithing. What does church history teach us? Anyone? That being said, it's necessary that we support the Church and charities in some way. The love of Christ compels us.
I Pay my Tithe every Sunday, Am I alive by GOD grace and not by my power, GOD gave me oxygen that I breath in, learn to appreciate GOD, because every 3 second someone dies and yet you are among the living.
Since biblical tithes were not received as money the question of tithing on any monetary profit is a misnomer. One can choose to give money from anything for anything, but there's nothing biblically that requires anyone today to pay money to a religious institution or anywhere else.
No, based on the Christian believes you gotta tithe all your profits. The (questionable) only way you wouldn't need to tithe is to reinvest to make even more money that you can tithe then. The reason this is questionable is because if you keep 'reinvesting in order to give a bigger tithe' the question is when you gonna start to tithe then? The people in need might need money/food/help rather now then later and you don't have to donate your whole profit, only ten percent of it. So you still have profits which God actually provided you with in first place, since God is the one who owns it all. So when you tithe and reinvest then, certainly God will give you again big profits of which you tithe and then can reinvest or use for yourself after all.
What is Dave's opinion on Matthew 19:24? “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
But you have to balance that observation with the fact that Throughout the Bible, God blesses people with great wealth or makes them kings which by extension carries wealth. Being rich is a mindset that focuses their worth on how much they have. We make think that a man who makes 500k a year is rich, but to a man in Liberia where minimum wages are $330/year, What do you think you look like to him? We can talk about cost of living and all that but it still wouldn’t change his perspective when it takes 10 years to earn $4000 in his slice of the world.

There's a lot of evil churches out there and the top rich guy in the church pockets the tithe for themself. Just look at the lavish lifestyles of some of them like Kenneth Copeland.
The Lord wants us to live a fulfilling life, tithing is a matter of the heart, it guides our hearts to put our trust in Him. He can never fail us, He knows it, and he's instructing us to trust Him. Having a life style of giving tithes trains our heart to trust in Him and not be deceived by a deceiving riches. It's His instruction to bless our hearts. Be Blessed!
Someone please show a scripture where it says tithes is money based. I challenge anyone to find that scripture. Most lack wisdom on what tithe is supposed to be. Dont get tithe confused with offerings.
We should stop saying first fruits if the desire is for everyone to give 10% every time they get paid. If you want to use first fruits, everyone would pay 10% of their first check of the year and then keep everything else. But that is not what religion requires... Even in the OT only the first fruit of the harvest was given......and they kept everything else that grew there after.....which was much more than the first harvest. What you want is for everyone to give 10% of ALL FRUIT of the TOTAL HARVEST not only the First.
You don't "have" to tithe at all according to the Bible. All of the verses speaking about putting food in store houses and leaving leftover veggies for the poor that are in your field after you harvest, to show that things only grow because of God. They had money when these verses were written, and if it was supposed to be about money it would explicitly say this. Modern churches, from what I can see, are not feeding the poor at all for the most part. For every billionaire/million preacher, thousands go hungry.
Instead of thinking of it as something that’s an obligation, you should think of it as an offering to the Lord. Because that’s what it is. The Bible doesn’t actually command us to tithe like people think. You need to read up on the context on who actually tithed and why. God does not command us today to tithe, BUT He definitely wants us to be generous and joyful givers. The money is not our to begin with, so offerings allow us to not be holding so tight to money. We should steward it well and pay our bills, along with blessing others. Whatever that looks like to you.
If you read , only levites and levitical priest can only accept tithing because the land was divided to 12 tribes but the Levite’s didn’t receive land that why ( they) ( of other tribes ) was order to make offering a tithing. Your pastor is accepting tithing in false pretense. Deuteronomy = gimme yo money 🤣🤣🤣
Breaking Covenant by Withholding Tithes Malachi 3 6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty. “But you ask, How are we to return?’ 8 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. “But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’ “In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse your whole nation-because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe, ” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.
Acts 5 5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet. 3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” 5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. 7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?” “Yes,” she said, “that is the price.” 9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” 10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.

Why is tithing an issue for a Christian. Tithing was part of the mosaic law. The New Testament, especially the books of Romans and Galatians, make it clear that 1st century Christians were not obligated to follow the specific commands in the mosaic law, including tithing.
Genesis 28 20And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, 21so that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: 22and this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee. So if God doesn’t keep you and give you food to eat and clothes on your back then don’t tithe. And only a dead man/woman fits the description for not tithing.
The tithing offered by both Abraham and Jacob was done voluntarily. There was no obligation to tithe until the mosaic law arrangement was given to the ancient Hebrews. Scripture in the New Testament clearly states that Christians are not bound to the specifics of the Law. They are admonished to be “liberal and ready to share” but no requirement to tithe is mentioned.
@@andrewbutler4082 tithing is not the law of the land everyone voluntarily gives 10%. That was a weak argument, I guess you also believe Jesus didn’t tithe too.
@@owezzel he's not wrong, actually. Genesis 28 doesn't give any impression that Jacob made that vow out of compulsion. If any of us made a vow like that, then we would be required to follow through with it. Otherwise it's just something we can do out of generosity.
In reality she didn't net much. Paid 215 + closing costs, which they never brought up. Then sold for 250 - closing costs - commission. Maybe 10k max. Just give as much as you want and be happy.
It is biblical, because it’s in the Bible. I do agree it’s OT law and so Christians are not commanded to do it in the New Testament. But giving and being generous is found in the NT. Christians should pray when considering the tithe and it’s a good starting place when giving our finances back to the Lord. Tithing is not a salvation issue. The Bible is clear that we are saved by grace not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; John 3:16)
Everything in the Bible new or old testament still applies today ...the money you make is not even yours to begin with its God's ...he doesn't need it he just wants you to trust him and obey and in return you get it back some shape or form multiplied.
Jesus for sure not, but those who suffer like people who have lost their job and probably even home through a crisis and especially those who suffer under wars that are happening in this world. The tithe isn't for the church to keep it for themselves. The tithe has to go to the poor and in need people. You can give it to the church in order to give it to the poor for yourself, but the church ain't allowed to keep donations that are noted as tithe. The church upholds itself through separate donations outside of the tithe. You don't even need a big fancy building to be a church. A church can be made out of just plain rocks or wooden and has not be highly attractive and expensive. If people can't or don't give to uphold the church by extra donations you just keep it with a simple church. Also the tithe is meant to keep yourself humble and clean yourself from sins and keep away bad behavior and help you stay/become a better person. Also to mention the tithe hasn't to go to any church to provide the poor, when you actually do it yourself. This way you have two benefits. Firstly you see where/to who the money exactly is going to and secondly that facing real poverty and people in need makes you even more humble and realize how blessed you are. Imagine you just made 1 Million in profits and now you are able to give away 100T. and giving hundred thousand to a fancy big church might not make you as happy and satisfied while giving, rather then make it feel like a duty. However if you see somebody with a shotgun wound, who even has lost wife and kids or a child without parents and are able to help them, it makes it way easier to be a cheerful giver. I have seen people suffering under war and everytime I see them I wish I would have more to give and help. So of cause it's a huge difference compared to living everyday life in safe heaven and not even recognize poverty and real problems. It just goes under in our own little world. So yes to give is important, not for Jesus, not for the church, but for those who face horrible conditions we don't want to have even close to us.

give, tithe but not as one that's under the law the law is fulfilled threw christ jesus. trust the lord in everything and out of that give, live, speak and do all things by his spirit. here is a mystery it's always been that way even in the days of moses god required it, then it was the faith In the God of abraham,isaac and Jacob under the veil. But now with clarity we trust in him whom we have both seen and heard as a brother. so we put trusting him above all knowing in whom we believe supported by a innumerable cloud of witnesses. the law is suppose to bring you to the law giver you were never suppose to follow it as salvation
You're right in that it was never for salvation. And yet, He expected His people to obey it and still does. However, tithing is moot bc it was never based on money, and it was never for the church or pastors as we know them today.

@@shaloon64 It's just really strange that dozens of athiests are subbed to a Christian soley to hop on, and within a few minutes of an upload, trash them on their religious beliefs. Is there not something better that they can do with their time?
I’m not an atheist, I just don’t believe in tithing to line the pockets of a church. To each their own. Majority of organized religion have their own agenda
Hi Dave. I’m a long time fan of your show and I’d like some advice or your opinion on this situation I have with my parents. I’m 19 and I work full time for a large warehouse company making $30k a year before taxes and have a Roth 401k account. With this new job, my parents brought up the idea of me paying rent to live with them. My question is, should I pay the rent or plan to move out? I’m not in college currently (but plan to in the near future) and my parents live comfortably in a paid off house. I understand why they asked me but, I think it’s too early since I only had the job for less than 2 months.
In our house, you got the first week's pay to yourself. After that you hand up. I was 15 earning €22.50 a week. The first 5 was for the house. Not because they needed €5, but because I needed to learn wages ain't free money. You've been getting away light is what I'm saying. That said, parent rent shouldn't be like real rent either.
Imagine giving away 10% of your income for nothing....10% of your lifetime income invested would change your family tree. But instead you want to line the pocket of your "church"
Yea, because feeding the homeless, helping people struggling with addiction, and getting families displaced by poverty or fires into a hotel or some other home, getting vaccines to at risk children, that is all "Lining the pocket of the church" You are so informed and know so much. Oh share more of your great wisdom. You're so ignorant, you represent your people so well.
As Christians, our #1 covenant is to love God and others. Giving to the kingdom and helping others is love and faith. I believe in tithing and I don’t miss the 10%. In fact, I believe in what it says in the Bible. As you give, it will be given to you. I’ve found that to be true.
How foolish can you be. Look just give a grand and call it a day. If you need to call Dave Ramsey on how much to give you aren't too bright with money.
Not even Jesus himself was qualified, accordig to the Mosaic Law, to receive tithes from anyone during his time on earth. When Jesus was on earth the Temple was still intact. Imagine if Jesus had come telling the people to tithe to him and his disciples. As a matter of fact, when Jesus sent out his disciples to preach Jesus specifically told them not to take a purse with them, but into whatever house they entered they were to eat and drink what was put tbefore them. In essence, the ONLY THING that Jesus's disciples could receive from whomever they witnessed to was food and drink. Not only was Jesus not qualified to receive tithings from anyone, there is no record that either Jesus or his disciples did ever received tithing from anyone. So, if Jesus, his disciples, even Paul, never received tithes from the people nor even qualified to receive tithes from the people, HOW IS IT THAT ANYONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE A FOLLOWER OF JESUS TODAY THINKS THAT HE OR SHE SHOULD RECEIVE TITHES FROM ANYONE? The Church was established by the Apostles in Acts chapter 2. The Temple was still intact at the time. No one even considered redirecting tithings from the Temple to the newly established Church. As a matter of fact, it was the "haves" within the newly established Church who provided for the "have nots"within the newly established Church. Guess who didn't have their hands out for a handout. Yep! The Apostles did not have their hands out for a handout. In actuality, the Apostles appointed certain persons from among them to distribute necessities to the needy within the newly Church so that the remaining Apostles/disciples would be freed up to go preach the Gospel (on each's own dime, so to speak). The take home message is that anyone who claims that he is a follower of Jesus Christ and is preaching tithing did not get that message from Jesus, nor the Apostles, and definitely not from God. The question is, who or what rules are these modern day, so-called, christians following when they request, or even demand, tithing from the people? Can you say "the devil"?
@@Andrew-eb8sw I understand a tithe but what does a home sale have to do with it? If she sells her car, does he want a piece of that too? What about if she receives an inheritance? Does he get a slice?
Breaking Covenant by Withholding Tithes Malachi 3 6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty. “But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’ 8 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. “But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’ “In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse- your whole nation-because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates(AI) of heaven and pour out(AJ) so much blessing(AK) that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe, “says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.
Tithing is an Old Testament concept. Dave is no theologian and should avoid preaching this like he routinely does. 2 Corinthians 9:7 is the New Testament concept of giving. It should be much more adjustable now than the rigid 10% exact concept that was for national Israel.
The God didn’t give the Bible for theologians to tell us what to do, we all that are able can read for ourselves. Read Genesis 28 and Abraham also did it .
@@owezzel Do we do everything in the Old Testament? Or did Hebrews tell us that Jesus accomplished the Mosaic Law and make it obsolete? Bible and Christianity 101.
I mean we are definitely supposed to be very generous above and beyond. But as a practical matter I do not like when people use Old Testament verses to tie us to certain rules like 10%. It's okay to acknowledge that using 10% makes it easy and is a good place to start, but to hold versus like Malachi 3 as law is not biblically sound. 1. We should be very generous. That includes supporting our local church and those in need regularly. 2. There are no specific rules after how generous a person supposed to be in terms of a numerical value.
They will probably wonder why we were so loving and benevolent to the poor, disenfranchised and needy, and marvel how the gatherings of believers added help and stability to the society.
The Levites (the church workers) only got 10% of the tithe. In other words, 1%. If you're asking if you should tithe something, you haven't properly learned what tithing is about. 90% of the tithe goes towards the ministry of the church. 10% of the tithe goes to the salaries of the church. Churches that practice tithing seem to consistently forget about the 3rd year among other things. The tithe is not a legalistic concept. You should be overjoyed in giving. It's also not that we're managing God's wealth. God did the vast majority of the work to generate the wealth you have. You're not giving away your work, you're giving away God's work.
0:00 Before the video starts, NO I Would NOT Tithe on the sale of your home! Tithing is supposed to be on your "Income". If you are earning a paycheck from someone that is your income and that is what you should be paying tithing towards. To be honest I don't believe that you have to pay tithing to get to heaven like most religions bake you believe because there would not be any reason for "Jesus" and the fact that he died for our sins. If he is the "I AM" then he has done it for us and all he wants us to do is "Believe in him that he is our Lord and saver and that he died for our sins and only through him and only him we are saved". The other thing is "If you WANT to tithe vs you HAVE to tithe to get to heaven or to be good with God is one thing over another". If someone doesn't want to give but they do that is a sin if you want to be technical about it.
Save your money. Religion is for the feeble-minded. There is great freedom being debt free and free of Religion. Simply educating yourself beyond what your parents brought you up to believe is the greatest fulfillment.

Comments are interesting. It’s usually non-givers who have a problem with givers giving.
Isn't it interesting how true that is...?
You nailed it!!
Great explanation, Dave, for explaining tithing for business. Tithe on the profit (i.e. the increase). Great point, too, it is the "spirit" of the thing because we are stewards of what God has given. It is ALL His.
If you're a Christian and member of a church and you're NOT tithing, YOU ARE MISSING A BLESSING!!!
I wish I could say I've been tithing all my life. I didn't start until I was in my 40's. If I had been taught properly, I would have started as a child.
People need to focus on the second half of this verse. God will INDEED "open you the windows of heaven". I've gotten so much since I started tithing, that I am trying to give more away. The more I give to the church, the more I give away to other charities. It may not make any sense, but God is true to his word.
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Come on, people!! Not every church and Pastor is evil. just how not a public school can have good and bad teachers. If somebody wants to support their church great!. The same way if somebody wants to support their public school it's a good idea and it shows care for a community
Then step up and all out the frauds
Dave should release a book on tithing.
@NurturingTalents If you wouldn't want to read it, then don't buy it. I don't agree with everything Dave does. But, he is well versed on the Bible and tithing.
I tithe 10% of my income before taxes. How else are the lights gonna stay on, the building not be in shambles etc. How else would we have what we need I continue His work? Also when we give, we open the doors of blessings to us for being obedient and helping others. We help a lot of families with bills and food. One time I was on the receiving end because of job loss and going through a hardship. What goes around comes around.
Religion is fake. I am sorry to be the one to have to tell you.
That rather makes tithing the dues you pay for an exclusive club. Some makes it to charity of course, but you could eliminate the middle man and give direct. Alternatively:
"Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
What churches are selling is the *promise* of everlasting life, with no evidence that they can fulfill that promise.
Hmm I don’t give any money to the church and my lights stay on just fine, the apartment isn’t in shambles etc. God isn’t real and he has no affect on any of those things

Tithing is found in the Bible. And as Christians we don’t believe the Bible is just a regular book. It is inspired and the very words of God.
people should only tithe to help abortion clinics be closed or to have witches burnt
If its the very words of god, why are there so many different versions of it? None of them are his original words since they’re now lost in translation.
What’s all so found in the Bible is directly who tithing is for . The fact that you don’t read the Bible but rather follow in your own interpretation of the Bible that suits you.

@Ayawrxsti correct, a collection of books from God
If you read scriptures carefully, you will find out that the tithe was on the increase of the land. The intention was to support the Levites bc they didn't own their own farmland.

The church needs the money and if someone is a member of the church they are church, meaning apart of the church. We support the community by giving financially and by physical charitable work, helping those in hospitals, prisons, nursing, homes, school scholarships, drug ministries, homeless shelters, food distribution, etc. And those who work for the church who manage and facilitate all these good deeds.
The tithe isn't supposed to pay the pastor but to feed the poor and help those in need.
You can give it to the church and they will give it to the poor or you do it yourself.
Again, the church can't use it for themselves. The church is uphold through donations that are separate from the tithe. Donations that are noted as tithe can't be used for the pastor.
So no you can't buy a car on the tithe.
Instead becoming a pastor you should rather figure out where Dave Ramsey enjoys to eat and become a waiter and buy your car from the tip. That's more likely to happen then becoming rich on tithe.
Each man should give as he has decided in his heart to give not reluctantly or under compulsion for God loves a cheerful giver- 2 Cor. 9:7.
That is our command today for giving. The (tenth of increase) was given in Deuteronomy with the old law of Moses, the same law that demanded animal sacrifices. This law is not binding for us today (Romans 7:6, Hebrews 8:13).
There is nothing inherently wrong with “tithing” 10%, but you certainly do not have to as a Christian. Give generously, and I would say give very generously because the Lord has given so much to you, but also give cheerfully (not because you have to).
The Bible is up to interpretation. Just because you believe what you do about tithing and the law of Moses, doesn't make it a fact (it may or may not be true in other words).
@@joeb1522 you are right that the Bible is up to interpretation, but it is our job as students of his word (those of us who are Christians) to strive to interpret it properly. The best way to do that is take the Bible for what it clearly says rather than inputting our own opinions. Not arguing just stating my case :D my original comment is a truth that comes from scripture and is in harmony with the rest of scripture.
This is talking about free will offering which we find in the Old Testament.
@@owezzel The two are very similar, every offering we make today is free will. The difference is we do not have any minimum required offering like was required in the O.T. We are simply commanded to give something.
@@matt9741 if you don’t believe God that wakes us up and protects the just and the unjust don’t deserve a little 10% and free will offering, that’s on you man. But don’t make people feel what they are doing is wrong because God deserves100% of everything we make.
So this is what I'm trying to reconcile: I own a house and I rent out some rooms while I live in one of them. So if I look at it like a business, that I own, the business is increasing in value because of the mortgage principle that I get and any profit, but everything else (interest, utilities, property tax, HOA, etc.) Would be a business expense that is never causing any increase to the company that could be paid to me as the shareholder. So, do I only pay tithing on the principle and the profit? That is how I would look at any business that I might own - I assign some portion of the profit as a salary for myself and then pay tithing on that, but it seems odd because I would normally consider property tax or whatever housing expenses as just normal expenses and a normal part of my budget after paying tithing on the whole increase. Legitimately see it both ways.
How much? The minister needs a new private jet you know.
Bingo! Organized "religion" doesn't get any of my money....
I go to a small church and we have a modest salary and budget for our church. They aren't all mega churches.
MAJORITY OF CHURCHES ARE SMALL. And they need the income. My church isn’t small but technically isn’t a mega church either. It isn’t about the church needing your money. It’s about doing it for God and living your life according to the scripture.
U do realize 99.99 percent of pastors aren’t wealthy?

Skip the tithing. Give to a worthy food bank or charity.
You can do that with your tithe, silly
Am just thinking, if you sold your 250k house and needed the equity to move to a 500k house do you need to pay tithe on the 250k. Am conflicted on this one, if I sell my house, I don't see it as an income, as I need to move to a house that is going to cost me more.
You "need" to move to a 500k house huh?
@@HandfulOfTranquility 😂
@@HandfulOfTranquility The same principle would apply if you were moving into a $250k house. Would you tithe on the increase of one house to move into another home worth the same amount?
The Bible says tithe on "Increase". $250,000 wasn't an increase. The increase was the profit between what she paid ($215,000) vs the sale price ($250,000 minus the expenses that went to closing costs and expenses...that's her actual "Increase". So roughly $31,000 as she noted. So $3,100 would be her tithe. Remember it's different than income, this is profit off of something she invested in.
Is there a sheet with the formula written down for us visual people? 😂
Can't imagine giving away 10% of my money because someone decided to write that in a book thousands of years ago. It's like, hmmm what is the max we can ask them to give away without them getting too upset. 10% sounds like a nice, round easy number, let's make it that.
Well, it works for a stable society.
I’m guessing you haven’t looked into the advent of tithe.
Right. Voluntary 10% tax on top of what I'm already paying? Hard pass on that.
It’s important to note that as Christians we don’t believe the Bible is some book that some guy just sat down and decided to write. We believe the Bible is Gods words. If it’s just a book written by some regular guy then I agree it’s ridiculous to follow it but we believe it’s from God and so that’s why we obey it and follow it
anyone want to tell him we're all going to the same spot. except ill have an extra 10% worth of fun in my life
Why are we forced to watch this lengthy commercial before the video we want to watch?
Wrong!!!
If this is an investment property... YES, because this capital gain becomes income, then tithe on net gain.
If this is your PPR, Principal Place of Residence, NO, because you would have to buy a house with a similar % increase in value over that time; worse if you are upsizing, to house that is bigger and more expensive, relatively; better if you are downsizing and then you could tithe, (as per Australian, Capital Gain Tax law)
Why would you tithe on “net” if the Bible says first fruits.
No one "tithes" today per the biblical tithe. Tithing was part of Mosaic Law, handed down by God through Moses only for Jewish people. And they were to pay tithes of fruit, vegetables and livestock specifically to the tribe of Levi because ran the Temple and had no other form of income. Tithing in the Bible had nothing to do with money. The Apostle Paul clearly laid out in 2nd Corinthians chapter 9 how believers are supposed to give today. Learn your Bible and don't let a preacher ever guilt you into thinking you owe him 10% of your money. God may be leading you to give more or less depending on how He enables you and what He puts in your heart.
If a preacher is "guilting" anyone of giving them money they need to stop preaching. We don't "pay" tithe to the preacher we give to God as He has clearly stated in His Word. However it is also taught that a minister is worthy of his labor. If He works the altar he should be able to eat off of the alter. Paul teaches that very clearly as well.
Speak for yourself
@@sonialatham6467 there's no shortage of preachers who falsely teach the doctrine of tithing and bank on the high probability that most Christians don't really read their Bible all that much. Moses did not teach that tithing meant paying 10% of your monetary income to the church in Deuteronomy chapter 14, Numbers chapter 18 or Leviticus chapter 27 through the end of the book. In fact, in Leviticus, Moses stated that if you opted to pay cash instead of the titheable commodity, you had to pay 20% more. You can read it for yourself in Leviticus chapter 27 through the end of the book. Malachi did not blast the lay people in Malachi chapter 3 for robbing God. It was the corrupt priests who were stealing the tithes that the lay people had paid and using it for personal gain. Preachers love to quote Malachi 3:8-10 to guilt trip their flock. For Heaven's sake there are four chapters in Malachi. Read whole book to get the proper context. Jesus did not teach monetary tithing in Matthew chapter 22. He advised Jewish people to obey Jewish Mosaic Law, and rightfully so, as Jesus had not yet fulfilled the entire Law before His crucifixion. Even Gentiles in times of Christ on Earth were not required to observe Jewish Law. Why would they be today? The Apostle Paul never taught us to pay 10% . I would venture to say that God doesn't want 10% of anything. He owns it all and is owed all. Everything we do, including every dollar spent should be to the glory of God. There are many ways to give to God. Many preachers would have you think you can only give to God through them. Not so. I have a direct line to God through His Holy Spirit and can also make direct deposits to God in cash. We should absolutely give generously and sacrificially and our pastors should be able to rely on his flock for a steady stream of income. But its also a pastors job to teach the Word accurately. If he is genuinely called by God to minister to other and he does so with good intentions and accurate doctrine, preachers don't need to fleece the flock by errant teaching of the doctrine of tithing.
You should give what you desire from your heart......When you start going into all these calculations to make sure it is exactly a certain amount.....i believe all blessings are lost.
Tithing is not about receiving a blessing. It is about trying to honor and obey God. I agree that you shouldn’t be overly legal about finding the exact amount to the penny, but just stating that you shouldn’t be doing it just to be blessed either.
I wouldn't tithe for this. I know you shouldn't think of it as one, but buying a home is an investment. If it goes up in value, you should be reinvesting that money to compound so you'll have more if you choose to tithe in retirement.
That's an interesting insight.
But wouldn’t you tithe on your investments in retirement?
Lady take the equity and build some wealth. You will give more in life if you put your self in a better spot. 30k equity is nothing and you need it to put down on the next house. Compound interest over years also compounds the giving you do
She didn't net anything. She tithed on the money she paid the mortgage with during that 2 years.
You don't need to tithe anyway. You should give according to heart because God wants a cheerful giver. Don't let your pastor know about this money. He will lie to you!
I disagree. The bible is very clear on this. We are called to tithe 10% of all our increase, and this is to go to our home church. That's not to say that's all that's required and we shouldn't give anywhere else, but I think this was mandated to keep churches operating in our local communities.
@@feliciavale4279 That was old testament. Do you even know the complications with tithing? You have to tithe 10% of everything you own, receive etc... Not just money. It includes animals, jewlery, cars, everything you can imagine. So, no one can really tithe. And if you miss anything from the law, you fail 100%. Go read 2 cor 9:6-7. This is the kind of giving that God takes pleasure in.
The idea that you leave the light bill unpaid because you had to pay tithe with the $100 is absolutely, absolutely ridiculous. God doesn't take pleasure in this kind of behavior.
Don't also believe that if you fail to tithe. You automatically have all kinds of financial curses following your life. This is also a big LIE. I m a Christian and dont believe in tithing. I still prosper.

Its good to have a heart of giving but your answer is not scriptural. The tithe is 100% required. Its 10% of your increase and that is referring income and gifts toward you. Plus its all God's to begin with.
@@justinborchardt No, it's not required. God says to give from your heart. It was required in the Old Testament times for his people. The Apostle Paul says to give from your first fruits. That's the New Covenant. If you want to tithe, that's great, but it is not required.
@@justinborchardt I agree with you. But the Bible is up to interpretation, so it's reasonable people will disagree. Malachi says the windows of heaven will open to those who tithe 10%. Having the windows of heaven open seems pretty good to me.

Yes.

@@shakfig2655 You are welcome to your beliefs. Christian principals are a wonderful foundation to build your behaviors off of whether or not you are a believer. Cheers.
Christians are encouraged by the apostle Paul to “set something aside” to contribute to fellow believers in need (relief ministry), however, tithing was not required in the 1st century.
True. To my knowledge, it was a requirement of the Mosaic law, therefore, Christians are not bound to it. There is not a command in the New Testament that gives the ten percent figure. I am not aware of what the Church Fathers teach about tithing. What does church history teach us? Anyone?
That being said, it's necessary that we support the Church and charities in some way. The love of Christ compels us.

I Pay my Tithe every Sunday, Am I alive by GOD grace and not by my power, GOD gave me oxygen that I breath in, learn to appreciate GOD, because every 3 second someone dies and yet you are among the living.
Since biblical tithes were not received as money the question of tithing on any monetary profit is a misnomer. One can choose to give money from anything for anything, but there's nothing biblically that requires anyone today to pay money to a religious institution or anywhere else.
Keep your money.
Wow I think this is up to the person and depends on what their intentions are with the profits
No, based on the Christian believes you gotta tithe all your profits.
The (questionable) only way you wouldn't need to tithe is to reinvest to make even more money that you can tithe then.
The reason this is questionable is because if you keep 'reinvesting in order to give a bigger tithe' the question is when you gonna start to tithe then?
The people in need might need money/food/help rather now then later and you don't have to donate your whole profit, only ten percent of it.
So you still have profits which God actually provided you with in first place, since God is the one who owns it all.
So when you tithe and reinvest then, certainly God will give you again big profits of which you tithe and then can reinvest or use for yourself after all.
What is Dave's opinion on Matthew 19:24?
“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
Please continue
He goes into this concept at length in The Legacy Journey.
That's a real good question lol
But you have to balance that observation with the fact that Throughout the Bible, God blesses people with great wealth or makes them kings which by extension carries wealth. Being rich is a mindset that focuses their worth on how much they have. We make think that a man who makes 500k a year is rich, but to a man in Liberia where minimum wages are $330/year, What do you think you look like to him? We can talk about cost of living and all that but it still wouldn’t change his perspective when it takes 10 years to earn $4000 in his slice of the world.
I would tithe 20% of the $30,000 increase in order to be a giver.
and brag about it.. good job
That wiu4 be foolish. Only fools believe in religion.
@@anonamous365 no I would not brag about it.
It might be better to give it to folks who really need it today. A food bank would be a deserving recipient.
The church does need it and if someone is a member of the church they are church, meaning apart of the church. We support the community by giving financially and by physical charitable work, helping those in hospitals, prisons, nursing, homes, school scholarships, drug ministries, homeless shelters, food distribution, etc. And those who work for the church who manage and facilitate all these good deeds.
Depends on the church, some “pastors” live like billionaires (looking at you mega churches)
My church has a food bank. Churches provide much more in ministry than i think you realize.
There's a lot of evil churches out there and the top rich guy in the church pockets the tithe for themself. Just look at the lavish lifestyles of some of them like Kenneth Copeland.
The Lord wants us to live a fulfilling life, tithing is a matter of the heart, it guides our hearts to put our trust in Him. He can never fail us, He knows it, and he's instructing us to trust Him. Having a life style of giving tithes trains our heart to trust in Him and not be deceived by a deceiving riches. It's His instruction to bless our hearts. Be Blessed!
Someone please show a scripture where it says tithes is money based. I challenge anyone to find that scripture. Most lack wisdom on what tithe is supposed to be. Dont get tithe confused with offerings.
Amen!
We should stop saying first fruits if the desire is for everyone to give 10% every time they get paid. If you want to use first fruits, everyone would pay 10% of their first check of the year and then keep everything else. But that is not what religion requires... Even in the OT only the first fruit of the harvest was given......and they kept everything else that grew there after.....which was much more than the first harvest. What you want is for everyone to give 10% of ALL FRUIT of the TOTAL HARVEST not only the First.
Lol y’all asking this to Dave as if he’s God

It’s so funny 😁

You don't "have" to tithe at all according to the Bible. All of the verses speaking about putting food in store houses and leaving leftover veggies for the poor that are in your field after you harvest, to show that things only grow because of God. They had money when these verses were written, and if it was supposed to be about money it would explicitly say this. Modern churches, from what I can see, are not feeding the poor at all for the most part. For every billionaire/million preacher, thousands go hungry.
Instead of thinking of it as something that’s an obligation, you should think of it as an offering to the Lord. Because that’s what it is. The Bible doesn’t actually command us to tithe like people think. You need to read up on the context on who actually tithed and why. God does not command us today to tithe, BUT He definitely wants us to be generous and joyful givers. The money is not our to begin with, so offerings allow us to not be holding so tight to money. We should steward it well and pay our bills, along with blessing others. Whatever that looks like to you.
Tithe on my income, not the sale of things I own. You already paid tithe on that money for the purchase.
2 Corinthians 9:7. Don’t be legalistic. Be free.
If you read , only levites and levitical priest can only accept tithing because the land was divided to 12 tribes but the Levite’s didn’t receive land that why ( they) ( of other tribes )
was order to make offering a tithing. Your pastor is accepting tithing in false pretense. Deuteronomy = gimme yo money 🤣🤣🤣
Breaking Covenant by Withholding Tithes Malachi 3
6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.
“But you ask, How are we to return?’
8 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.
“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’
“In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse your whole nation-because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe, ” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.

Acts 5 5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?”
“Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”
9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.

Why is tithing an issue for a Christian. Tithing was part of the mosaic law. The New Testament, especially the books of Romans and Galatians, make it clear that 1st century Christians were not obligated to follow the specific commands in the mosaic law, including tithing.
Tithing was before the mosaic law.
Genesis 28
20And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21so that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
22and this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
So if God doesn’t keep you and give you food to eat and clothes on your back then don’t tithe. And only a dead man/woman fits the description for not tithing.
The tithing offered by both Abraham and Jacob was done voluntarily. There was no obligation to tithe until the mosaic law arrangement was given to the ancient Hebrews. Scripture in the New Testament clearly states that Christians are not bound to the specifics of the Law. They are admonished to be “liberal and ready to share” but no requirement to tithe is mentioned.
@@andrewbutler4082 tithing is not the law of the land everyone voluntarily gives 10%.
That was a weak argument, I guess you also believe Jesus didn’t tithe too.
@@owezzel he's not wrong, actually. Genesis 28 doesn't give any impression that Jacob made that vow out of compulsion. If any of us made a vow like that, then we would be required to follow through with it. Otherwise it's just something we can do out of generosity.
You don't tithe unless you want to be scammed.
In reality she didn't net much. Paid 215 + closing costs, which they never brought up. Then sold for 250 - closing costs - commission. Maybe 10k max. Just give as much as you want and be happy.
Tithing isn’t even biblical. It’s in the Old Testament, but Old Testament law was abolished when Jesus came
Amen its nowhere in the new testament, we are suppose to give for sure but 10% isn't a command anymore. If you want you can but not required.
The Ten Commandments were OT as well... Does that mean they were abolished?
@@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 They were taught all throughout the NT and the two greatest commandments love God and love others covers all 10.
It is biblical, because it’s in the Bible. I do agree it’s OT law and so Christians are not commanded to do it in the New Testament. But giving and being generous is found in the NT. Christians should pray when considering the tithe and it’s a good starting place when giving our finances back to the Lord. Tithing is not a salvation issue. The Bible is clear that we are saved by grace not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; John 3:16)
Everything in the Bible new or old testament still applies today ...the money you make is not even yours to begin with its God's ...he doesn't need it he just wants you to trust him and obey and in return you get it back some shape or form multiplied.
How much interest did you pay, if you want to split hairs. If the person that bought the house paid cash and they tithed its already paid.😇
I'm sure Jesus will be just fine w/o 10% of your profits
Zombie Jesus gotta eat too
Ryan Weston zombie Jesus 😭🤣
Jesus for sure not, but those who suffer like people who have lost their job and probably even home through a crisis and especially those who suffer under wars that are happening in this world.
The tithe isn't for the church to keep it for themselves. The tithe has to go to the poor and in need people.
You can give it to the church in order to give it to the poor for yourself, but the church ain't allowed to keep donations that are noted as tithe.
The church upholds itself through separate donations outside of the tithe. You don't even need a big fancy building to be a church.
A church can be made out of just plain rocks or wooden and has not be highly attractive and expensive.
If people can't or don't give to uphold the church by extra donations you just keep it with a simple church.
Also the tithe is meant to keep yourself humble and clean yourself from sins and keep away bad behavior and help you stay/become a better person.
Also to mention the tithe hasn't to go to any church to provide the poor, when you actually do it yourself.
This way you have two benefits. Firstly you see where/to who the money exactly is going to and secondly that facing real poverty and people in need makes you even more humble and realize how blessed you are.
Imagine you just made 1 Million in profits and now you are able to give away 100T. and giving hundred thousand to a fancy big church might not make you as happy and satisfied while giving, rather then make it feel like a duty.
However if you see somebody with a shotgun wound, who even has lost wife and kids or a child without parents and are able to help them, it makes it way easier to be a cheerful giver.
I have seen people suffering under war and everytime I see them I wish I would have more to give and help.
So of cause it's a huge difference compared to living everyday life in safe heaven and not even recognize poverty and real problems. It just goes under in our own little world.
So yes to give is important, not for Jesus, not for the church, but for those who face horrible conditions we don't want to have even close to us.

give, tithe but not as one that's under the law the law is fulfilled threw christ jesus. trust the lord in everything and out of that give, live, speak and do all things by his spirit. here is a mystery it's always been that way even in the days of moses god required it, then it was the faith In the God of abraham,isaac and Jacob under the veil. But now with clarity we trust in him whom we have both seen and heard as a brother. so we put trusting him above all knowing in whom we believe supported by a innumerable cloud of witnesses. the law is suppose to bring you to the law giver you were never suppose to follow it as salvation
You're right in that it was never for salvation. And yet, He expected His people to obey it and still does. However, tithing is moot bc it was never based on money, and it was never for the church or pastors as we know them today.

Hi Dave. I’m a long time fan of your show and I’d like some advice or your opinion on this situation I have with my parents. I’m 19 and I work full time for a large warehouse company making $30k a year before taxes and have a Roth 401k account. With this new job, my parents brought up the idea of me paying rent to live with them. My question is, should I pay the rent or plan to move out? I’m not in college currently (but plan to in the near future) and my parents live comfortably in a paid off house.
I understand why they asked me but, I think it’s too early since I only had the job for less than 2 months.
In our house, you got the first week's pay to yourself. After that you hand up. I was 15 earning €22.50 a week. The first 5 was for the house. Not because they needed €5, but because I needed to learn wages ain't free money. You've been getting away light is what I'm saying. That said, parent rent shouldn't be like real rent either.
If you don’t like your parents rules just move out? It’s their house and you’re 19. You’re lucky they didn’t start asking for rent at 18
Imagine giving away 10% of your income for nothing....10% of your lifetime income invested would change your family tree. But instead you want to line the pocket of your "church"
Yea, because feeding the homeless, helping people struggling with addiction, and getting families displaced by poverty or fires into a hotel or some other home, getting vaccines to at risk children, that is all "Lining the pocket of the church" You are so informed and know so much. Oh share more of your great wisdom. You're so ignorant, you represent your people so well.
As Christians, our #1 covenant is to love God and others. Giving to the kingdom and helping others is love and faith. I believe in tithing and I don’t miss the 10%. In fact, I believe in what it says in the Bible. As you give, it will be given to you. I’ve found that to be true.

I was raised to thithe on everything money wise received to God
Not even Jesus himself was qualified, accordig to the Mosaic Law, to receive tithes from anyone during his time on earth. When Jesus was on earth the Temple was still intact. Imagine if Jesus had come telling the people to tithe to him and his disciples. As a matter of fact, when Jesus sent out his disciples to preach Jesus specifically told them not to take a purse with them, but into whatever house they entered they were to eat and drink what was put tbefore them. In essence, the ONLY THING that Jesus's disciples could receive from whomever they witnessed to was food and drink.
Not only was Jesus not qualified to receive tithings from anyone, there is no record that either Jesus or his disciples did ever received tithing from anyone. So, if Jesus, his disciples, even Paul, never received tithes from the people nor even qualified to receive tithes from the people, HOW IS IT THAT ANYONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE A FOLLOWER OF JESUS TODAY THINKS THAT HE OR SHE SHOULD RECEIVE TITHES FROM ANYONE?
The Church was established by the Apostles in Acts chapter 2. The Temple was still intact at the time. No one even considered redirecting tithings from the Temple to the newly established Church. As a matter of fact, it was the "haves" within the newly established Church who provided for the "have nots"within the newly established Church. Guess who didn't have their hands out for a handout. Yep! The Apostles did not have their hands out for a handout. In actuality, the Apostles appointed certain persons from among them to distribute necessities to the needy within the newly Church so that the remaining Apostles/disciples would be freed up to go preach the Gospel (on each's own dime, so to speak).
The take home message is that anyone who claims that he is a follower of Jesus Christ and is preaching tithing did not get that message from Jesus, nor the Apostles, and definitely not from God. The question is, who or what rules are these modern day, so-called, christians following when they request, or even demand, tithing from the people? Can you say "the devil"?
Like a Mob Boss, the Pastor wants his taste.

Ask yourself which one did Jesus teach from? And you would know if what you were taught was right or wrong.

Tithing is an Old Testament concept. Dave is no theologian and should avoid preaching this like he routinely does. 2 Corinthians 9:7 is the New Testament concept of giving. It should be much more adjustable now than the rigid 10% exact concept that was for national Israel.

a tithe is 10% of income donated to church
I mean we are definitely supposed to be very generous above and beyond. But as a practical matter I do not like when people use Old Testament verses to tie us to certain rules like 10%.
It's okay to acknowledge that using 10% makes it easy and is a good place to start, but to hold versus like Malachi 3 as law is not biblically sound.
1. We should be very generous. That includes supporting our local church and those in need regularly.
2. There are no specific rules after how generous a person supposed to be in terms of a numerical value.
This religion thing is so embarrassing, imagine how dumb we are going to look to the people learning about us 1000 years from now.
They will probably wonder why we were so loving and benevolent to the poor, disenfranchised and needy, and marvel how the gatherings of believers added help and stability to the society.
The Levites (the church workers) only got 10% of the tithe. In other words, 1%. If you're asking if you should tithe something, you haven't properly learned what tithing is about.
90% of the tithe goes towards the ministry of the church. 10% of the tithe goes to the salaries of the church. Churches that practice tithing seem to consistently forget about the 3rd year among other things.
The tithe is not a legalistic concept. You should be overjoyed in giving. It's also not that we're managing God's wealth. God did the vast majority of the work to generate the wealth you have. You're not giving away your work, you're giving away God's work.
0:00 Before the video starts, NO I Would NOT Tithe on the sale of your home! Tithing is supposed to be on your "Income". If you are earning a paycheck from someone that is your income and that is what you should be paying tithing towards. To be honest I don't believe that you have to pay tithing to get to heaven like most religions bake you believe because there would not be any reason for "Jesus" and the fact that he died for our sins. If he is the "I AM" then he has done it for us and all he wants us to do is "Believe in him that he is our Lord and saver and that he died for our sins and only through him and only him we are saved". The other thing is "If you WANT to tithe vs you HAVE to tithe to get to heaven or to be good with God is one thing over another". If someone doesn't want to give but they do that is a sin if you want to be technical about it.
Tithing was never on income. It was on the increase of the land.
Be generous.
