Summary

VOX Podcast LIVE Q&A - Tithing, Apostle Names, and Lust- April 13, 2017 Is tithing strictly an old testament command? I was raised believing you should give at least 10% of your income based on this command. Do you agree? I saw this question in a meme on Facebook but it got me thinking... how did guys with the names Matthew, Mark, Luke and John end up in the Middle East? Hi Mike, I struggle with the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus equates lust and anger to adultery and murder. This seems unreasonable to me. If my spouse were to say "I've had lustful thoughts about a coworker" I would calmly say "ok, let's take steps to avoid that." But if they were to say "I slept with a coworker" I would go through the roof. Similarly, if I were to cut someone off in traffic, I would never equate them giving me the finger to them pulling out a gun and trying to shoot me. I understand that sin begins in the heart, and that is where the issue needs to be met. But this 1 to 1 equation doesn't make any sense to me.

0:25.9	excited to see you this this is the mother of all bombs addition. Evidently Donald Trump just, I don't know, launched.
0:37.3	The mother of all bombs at Afghanistan, like ISIS,
0:41.4	tunnel complex.
0:42.4	And I have a lot of experience with this because Andy usually
0:45.8	when he drives up from South County first goes into the restroom and does the mother of
0:50.0	all bombs in my restroom that has to be cleaned every week. So that's that's typically a bummer. But anyway, we're glad to be with you. This is this is a supplement to our podcast. It is a supplement to our podcast.

1:14.4	All right, number one, is Tithing strictly an Old Testament command?
1:18.6	I was raised believing you should give at least 10%
1:21.0	of your income based on this command. Do you agree? Well first of all I agree that you
1:26.7	should be coming to our church and giving 10% no question about that so yes everyone in our
1:31.8	church should be giving 10%.
1:33.2	No, what's interesting is yes the tithe was commanded in the Old Testament
1:38.7	but the New Testament teaching on money is far more radical than that. Paul twice, once in acts and then once, I think in
1:48.4	1st Corinthians or 2 Corinthians, I think it's second, has the opportunity to teach the tithing command to
