   If Melissa (or anyone else) is claiming to be a "New Testament Levite" then   
   she has a big problem, in fact, several problems...   
      
   1. The ministry of the Levite has been ended;    
      
   Hebrews 7:23 - "And they truly were many [Levite] priests, because they were   
   not suffered to continue by reason of death:"   
      
   2. They can only receive tithes under the Law of Moses, not under the New   
   Testament;   
      
   Hebrews 7:5 - "And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the   
   office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people   
   according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the   
   loins of Abraham:"   
      
   Nehemiah 10:38 - "And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites,   
   when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the   
   tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house."   
      
   Numbers 18:21 - "And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth   
   in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the   
   service of the tabernacle of the congregation."   
      
   3. It's a ministry of death;   
      
   Hebrews 7:8 - "And here men [Levites] that DIE receive tithes; but there he,   
   of whom it is witnessed that he liveth."   
      
   3. The Levite ministry is inferior being from the law of a carnal commandment;    
      
   Hebrews 7:15-16 - "And it is yet far more evident: for that after the   
   similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, Who is made, not after   
   the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life."    
      
   4. The Levite priesthood and ministry is inferior to Melchisedec;   
      
   Hebrews 7:7 - "And without all contradiction the less [Levites] is blessed of   
   the better [Melchisedec]."   
      
   4. The eternal priesthood ministry of Melchisedec is eternal made after the   
   power of endless life;   
      
   Hebrews 7:16-17 - "Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but   
   after the power of an endless life. For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for   
   ever after the order of Melchisedec."   
      
   5. It's been replaced;    
      
   Hebrews 7:11-12 - "If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood,   
   (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that   
   another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called   
   after the order of    
   Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change   
   also of the law."   
      
   6. She would be better off claiming to be Melchisedec. The problem is that she   
   is NOT Melchisedec and has no authority to receive tithes as Melchisedec did   
   from Abraham. She is not Melchisedec and her followers are not Abraham.   
      
   Hebrews 7:24 - "But this man [Melchisedec], because he continueth ever, hath   
   an unchangeable priesthood."    
      
   7. Her Levite "priesthood" is over, finished, replaced...   
      
   Hebrews 7:15 - "And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude   
   of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,"   
      
   8. Her Levite "priesthood" has been cancelled, abolished being weak and   
   unprofitable;   
      
   Hebrews 7:18 - "For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment [which   
   created the Levite priesthood; Hebrews 7:16] going before for the weakness and   
   unprofitableness thereof."    
      
   9. There is no Levite priesthood continued into the New Testament;   
      
   Hebrews 7:22-23 - "By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.   
   And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue   
   by reason of death:"   
      
   10. We don't need a Levite;   
      
   Hebrews 7:28 - "For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but   
   the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is   
   consecrated for evermore.    
      
   ADDTIONALLY...   
      
   THREE KINDS OF TITHING;   
      
   Hebrews 7:8 refers to three kinds of tithing;    
      
   1. Levites who took and received tithes under the Law of Moses. (Hebrews 7:5)   
      
   2. Levites who paid tithes through Abram to Melchisedec. (Hebrews 7:9)   
      
   3. Abram who paid a tithe to Melchisedec thus establishing the superiority of   
   Melchisedec over Abram, the Levites and Levitical priesthood being in the   
   loins of Abram. (Hebrews 7:2-7, Hebrews 10:1-11)   
      
   Neither tithing example 1, 2 or 3 apply to the New Testament Church, they are   
   acts and events of the Old Testament. Additionally; the tithe given to   
   Melchisedec has proven the superiority of the priestly order of  Melchisedec   
   once and for all and does    
   not need to be repeated over and over again to establish again the superiority   
   of the priestly order of Melchisedec, Melchisedec being a similitude of Jesus   
   Christ our eternal High Priest has been established (Psalm 110:4, Hebrews 5:6,   
   Hebrews 7:15,17).   
      
   The spiritual purpose of Abram paying tithes to Melchisedec was to demonstrate   
   and forever establish Melchisedec's superiority; that has been accomplished   
   and no further tithes need to be given to Melchisedec to prove anything   
   further. There is no    
   practical Biblical reason to "pay tithes" to Melchisedec as Abram did, and no   
   Biblical basis for paying tithes to a person claiming you must pay tithes to   
   them as Abram paid to Melchisedec. Abram paid tithes once to Melchisedec, he   
   did not pay a tithe to    
   a pastor, TV preacher, a church or any other person under the New Testament.   
      
   In Abram, the tithing under the Law of Moses [ergo; the Levites; Hebrews   
   7:5,9] and tithing before the Law of Moses by Abram, are brought together as   
   one event, one process, one act in and by one person; Abram tithing to   
   Melchisedec. One factual    
   statement of the superiority of the priesthood of Melchisedec who is a type, a   
   similitude of the eternal priesthood of Jesus Christ [Hebrews 7:7,15]. Any   
   further tithing as combined and seen in Abram (under the law or before the   
   law) is declared thus...   
      
   Hebrews 7:18 - "For there is verily a disannulling [cancellation] of the   
   commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof."   
   Canceled because it is both weak and unprofitable, therefore not continued   
   into the New Testament.   
      
   CONCLUSION;   
      
   No New Testament person has been authorized by God to receive a tithe for   
   Melchisedec or for Jesus Christ. As for paying any tithes; God's word makes it   
   clear; tithing of any kind is now canceled having accomplished what it needed   
   to accomplish under    
   both Abraham and the Law of Moses...
