   Apparently you don't believe God's word (do yourself a BIG favor, Dennis;   
   start believing God's word and stop believing the deceptions and false   
   teachings of Gene Scott)...   
      
   BIBLICAL FACT (the gawdawful droning of NOS about Levites and agriculture)...   
      
   With any subject in the Bible, we need to get God's definition of it,   
   otherwise we end up in confusion and error. God does not define the giving of   
   10% of your income (paycheck or any other income) as "tithing," God's   
   definition of tithing is found in    
   the Bible, not the traditions of men. You will find God's definition of   
   tithing in the 613 statutes of the Torah or scripture referring to the Torah.   
   Any other description of tithing is false and misleading.    
      
   God never designated money as suitable for tithing. A minimal of 17 times in   
   through the Old and New Testaments God states that the tithe shall be fruits,   
   vegetables (or derivatives of fruits such as oil or juice) and clean animals   
   grown on (or born on)    
   the Promise Land. Even in Malachi 3:10 (the flag ship scripture for tithing   
   teachers) the tithes are described as MEAT (food), not money...   
      
   From Malachi...   
   MEAT in mine house...MEAT...   
   Original: טרף    
   Transliteration: ṭereph    
   Phonetic: teh'-ref    
   Definition: From H2963; something torn, that is, a fragment, for example a   
   fresh leaf, prey, food: -  leaf, meat, prey, spoil.

   > Lev. 27:30, 32 "And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the   
   land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’s. It is holy to the LORD.…   
   And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever   
   passes under the rod, the    
   tenth shall be holy to the LORD."    
      
   > Num. 18:27 "And this your heave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though   
   it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and as the fullness of the   
   wine-press."    
      
   > Num. 18:28 "Thus you also shall offer a heave offering to the LORD of all   
   your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and you shall give   
   thereof the LORD’s heave offering to Aaron the priest."

   you may learn to fear    
   the LORD your God always."    
      
   > Deut. 24:21 "When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not

   > Deut. 26:12 "When you have made an end of tithing all the tithes of your   
   increase [produce: RSV] the third year, which is the year of tithing, and have   
   given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they   
   may eat within your    
   gates, and be filled."    
      
   > 2 Chron. 31:5 "And as soon as the commandment was circulated, the children   
   of Israel brought in abundance the first fruits of grain, wine, and oil, and   
   honey, and of all the increase of the fields; and the tithe of all things they   
   brought in abundantly.

   to the Levites, that    
   the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage."

   Genesis 23;12-16 "But Abraham bowed before the Hittites 13 and said to Ephron,   
   so that everyone could hear, “May I ask you, please, to listen. I will buy   
   the whole field. Accept my payment, and I will bury my wife there.” Ephron   
   answered, “Sir,    
   land worth only four hundred pieces of silver—what is that between us? Bury   
   your wife in it.” 16 Abraham agreed and weighed out the amount that Ephron   
   had mentioned in the hearing of the people—four hundred pieces of silver,   
   according to the    
   standard weights used by the merchants."    
      
   Exodus 38:28 "And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he   
   made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.'

   thousand and four hundred shekels."

   holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a

   silver, after the shekel    
   of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:'
