Tithe
The Tithe for the children of Israel -
It is God’s REQUIREMENT of the children of Israel (Gen.49:28) to tithe a tenth part (Nu.18:26, Neh.10:38, Matt.23:23, Lk.11:42, Lk.18:12 below).
The church of God (1 Cor.10:32 below, the living body of Christ Jesus - Col.1:24), whom Jesus has made “free” (Jn.8:36 below), are not under a REQUIREMENT, but are the “cheerful giver” as the giver has purposed in his own heart (2 Cor.9:7 below).
Nu.18:26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel (Gen.49:28) the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the tithe.
Neh.10:38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
Matt.23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone (Lk.11:42 below).
Lk.11:42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone (Matt.23:23 above).
Lk.18:12 I (the Pharisee) fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
1 Cor.10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.
Jn.8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
2 Cor.9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Tithing was for the sole purpose of providing for the Levite Priests. Since they were not given land, as the others were, the tithe would be their inheritance. The Israelites were required to give a tenth of their proceeds to the levite Priests.
Today's church has not understood the true definition of tithing. They think that by giving money to the church, that its tithing, but its not. We must understand Tithing in its original, historical, and theological context of their own time, before we can understand it in our times.
It would be awesome to have many of our pastors living off of the tithe of the church, but Tithes arent for the pastors. They were for Levite priests.
Its erroneous to say that if Christians do not tithe, then they will not be blessed. If they dont tithe, its because there arent any priests to tithe to lol.
Nu.18:26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel (Gen.49:28) the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the tithe.
Neh.10:38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
So, again, its a requirement that the Israelites tithe ONLY to the Levite Priests for their inheritance since Levites did not get any land
God bless
