Why you should shame Christians YouTubers who ask for money
What is the best evidence that christian YouTubers have a right to ask for donations for their ministry? In other words what does the Bible say about christian YouTubers asking for your money to pay their bills so they dont have to go labor to support themselves, so they can devote themselves more fully to making more videos to help you and others.
1 Corinthian 9:11
“If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?
“Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.”
Therefore christian YouTubers who spread the gospel have a command to get paid doing so.
Open and shut case, If that were all the Holy Spirit had the apostle Paul write on the matter.
But it was not. If we look at The apostles Pauls words inbetween and after those conclusive phrases, they should cause some hesitation to the conclusion that youtube christians have like a divine right of kings taking taxes from their loyal subjects
christian YouTubers have a divine right to get paid from the people the get to pay attention to them
These are the words that might cause the hesitation they come from inbetween & after the justification for people preaching the gospel should receive their living from the gospel
Back to
1 Corinthians 9
“If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you? If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right, but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ.”
If a christian YouTuber says im preaching the gospel and thus commanded to earn my living in doing so, ask them how come the apostle paul who wrote those words did not earn his living from just preaching? was paul in sin for refusing to do so?
Do christian YouTube’s have more important things to preach then the apostle paul? If the apostle paul was able to work to support himself in addition to preaching & teaching for free why can‘t Christian YouTubers? Maybe their ministry is more important than the apostle Paul’s?
Silly me I forgot the book of acts teaches it is right for the more important christians to ditch physical serving like waiting on tables to focus on the word.
In. Acts 6 the 12 apostles took the easy way out & decided to ditch serving tables to work on ministry of the word,
So if the 12 apostles ditched beneath them labor to focus on the word ministry so should christian YouTubers.
Later on in the book of acts paul had to rebuke peter for refusing to eat with gentiles, so not everything the 12 apostles did in the book of acts was right.
Jesus told the 12 this
In mark 10:42
You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles Lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve
But the apostles quickly chose they were above serving tables. I’m not sure they made the right choice. The Book of Acts tells us what they did, not necessarily that it was right.
their justification to get out of serving tables was so they could devote their time & energy of ministering the word.
yet who did God have pen most of the books of the New Testament. Not any of the 12 apostles but the apostle Paul
Paul on purpose broke the command that you most earn your living from preaching the gospel, unless u want to argue that paul is a bad example keeping in mind the Holy Spirit inspired the apostle paul to write immate me.
so why would christian YouTubers do the opposite of paul and seek to be paid to preach
if Christian youtubers didn’t have to waste time & energy on regular job to pay their bills, they could have more time & energy to preach, if their ministry took in enough money they could now hire people to edit and help spread their videos.
It makes sense to me. But I’m hesitant to fully agree when I see the apostle did not agree and did not adopt this mindsight, and lets just reread Paul’s own words
in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel. Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.”
The apostle paul did not ask the people he was teaching to pay his bills and neither should christian youtubers
Teaching gods words isnt something Paul did instead of labor
its something he did in addition to
Why would it be right
what paul told us for free,
we now pay someone
to retell
us for a fee
