Do we have to pay tithes?

You most likely have never given the tithe that was ordered by God in the Bible. You may think your tithe is just as good or better, but it is not a biblical tithe. I think your way of thinking confuses what God was trying to teach with the tithing system, and most pastors are happy to have their flocks confused.

Is your money really seed?

I wonder if you did it just like the Bible says to do it, would that be better? or worse?

If your pastor followed the instructions of the Bible to eat the tithe . . .

Would he rather you tithed money? or food?

Brother, you do understand that tithing was not to commence until they entered the promised land . . . don't you?

They didn't have everything in common. Not sure why you think they did.

A question for you . . .

Did they tithe the quail and manna?

Which meant it encompassed everything. That's like saying Deuteronomy 22:5 didn't say women can't wear pants. Pants as pants didn't exist then. There was "breeches" which Exodus 28:42 speaks of "And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach." But we see anything that's in the style of "breeches" were intended for who? Aaron's son's. Meaning they were made intended for men. So while Deuteronomy 22:5 doesn't say that women shouldn't wear pants, it does say they shouldn't wear that which pertains to a man. Samething here, because there was no trade system in the desert with outside nations considering they had no marketplace. That's why you don't see money listed. At that time this was written there was no marketplace so it wasn't applicable.

No God told them not to gather but only so much manna. And the quail would've only stayed good so long. But the absolutely had everything in common.

You have no scripture for that, because they had the Tabernacle then.

Could you please tell me where the Bible says that the Israelites had all things common in the desert?

Can you show me a scripture that says otherwise? Because they were one people. With no homes, no marketplace, no city to speak of.
