While it is true that the chapter you reference is about supporting ministry, it is also true that tithing is not mentioned. Can you admit that?
So in what context is supporting ministry mentioned? Food and drink.
Also Paul said that his reward is that he made the gospel available at no charge. Did you notice that part?
This is an example that Paul set for church leadership. This is not the only place he mentions it.
Meanwhile you exhort Coksiw to open his eyes?! Incredible! And reprehensible. How about you bring scripture to support tithing. Tithing is part of the title of this thread. Giving is not.
Tithing is specific. God ordained it for Israel in the promised land. He did not ordain tithing money. If you believe He did, how about quoting scripture to support your belief?
