Wouldn't it be wrong to monetize your youtube channel if you talk about Jesus? Also, some channels mix videos like"christian advices" and other videos about "conspiracy theories" etc. There are even christian youtube channels who have their own library, selling books. Is this all ok or would all of this be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would depend on what you used it for..... except for Catholic type Priests I don't know of any that are required to take a vow of poverty... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because u rent the store, but YouTube is free, people should not use YouTube to make money by selling God's words. Edited March 11, 2019 by R.

As long as they are serving God's purpose, I see no problem with it. If it is to make profit, it is wrong. What if I was earning say, forty thousand dollars a year, to support myself and my family, paying bills, my taxes and one other unknown non tax payer, food, gas, etc. What if my business was printing books. Say some of them were bibles. God's word. Would that be OK ? (to make a profit) What if I spent hundreds or thousands of dollars to put together a really cool Christian movie/video. Perhaps it cost $1.99 to watch on U Tube. Perhaps only one person watching it was led to a saving knowledge of scripture and believed, and was saved. Cheap. And, I fed my family, without food stamps, from my 'profit' Matt 10,10 Don't carry a traveler's bag with a change of clothes and sandals or even a walking stick. Don't hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve to be fed. Php 1:15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: Php 1:16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: Php 1:17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.To Live Is Christ Php 1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God is looking for “ cheerful givers”. You don’t have to give a dime to go to Heaven.....but why spend Eternity saved but broke?“ Give and it shall be given to you” Make sure you do it in secret!

Because we do not feed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they need to tell people that they are poor and need donation. and if they lie they will bear the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
