IT's far more simple than what most think. Give tithes in faith and God will bless. Period! It's really getting legalistic to split hairs and break down what tithing was in the Old Covenant compared to day, as though it's demanding you cannot even call it tithing if it's not strictly the way the Law said it was. Irony is in trying say we're not under law, but using legalistic detailing and strictness to say what tithing should be if we were under law when we're not giving tithes in the way law stated to begin with, nor even think to do so!

Sounds like prosperity doctrine, like the "evangelists" on TV, but instead on the pulpit.
Anyway, we prefer to be faithful to the Word of God than inventing nonsense, and falling into error. We prefer to listen to the elders that wrote the Scriptures than listen to the elders that brought traditions. We prefer to submit to the Word of the Lord, instead of submitting to thin air reasoning. Good luck.
