Malachi chapter 1 establishes about as clearly as possible that the letter(Malachi) was a rebuke of the Levites, not the everyday jew. There are NO MORE Levites today. The levitical priesthood was done away with. Its right there in Hebrews. So using a rebuke letter to a defunct priesthood to command financial support from the church today is just pathetic hermeneutics.

If tithing were important Paul, Peter, James or some NT Apostle would have at least passively dealt with the issue. Instead we have silence throughout the NT except a mention in Hebrews...which is only talking about the PAST.
