Missionaries in the AG are required by mandate is for half their tithe (5% of their income) goes directly to AGUSM. Keeps the corporation of AG going by basic force. Would this be manipulative(fear based giving)… since to be a US Missionary one isn’t to be practically freely giving… but if they don’t… it’s too bad… to be a missionary you don’t have a choice but to give half your tithe to Springfield.
This reminds me of an old saying..." Pass around the plate while you graze on the grass of guilt " Remember this was all given to the people under the authority of the Catholic when they cannonized the Bible at the council of Nicea in 325 AD after the early church fathers put their final touches to the Bible. God is good but He always needs money !! Just ask Paula White or Joel olstein Kenneth Copeland ECT,ECT.
Thank you. Great discussion on tithing.
No church age tithe. Commanded to not give under compulsion but only according to our hearts. No fixed amount.

15 mins in ....Like the NT, this is an argument for generosity, not mandated tithing.
False teachers and liars. Tithing has nothing to do with Christianity.
