Questioning a person's love for God by using a tithe of money as a measure is sad and manipulative.
There is no command to have or build a building to bring a tithe of money.
All of Israel did NOT tithe. Also, if you did not know only food items were tithed. There is a thread to challenge tithe promoters if you're interested.

I spoke of principle, which was also before the Mosaic Law.
As for questioning someone's love for God, if God is not God over all, then there is a need to question your love for Him. If you make God sovereign over everything but your money, if you still want to have control over your money, then He is not sovereign.
As for the command to have or build a building, you are right. But, that which we have, we have for the use of the glory of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is His, and He uses it for His glory.
I am not here to debate those who have a problem with the tithe. I was once one of you. I tried to fight the tithe. I will not turn this into a debate, simply because there is no debate. If God is sovereign, then tithing is not a problem. That principle is one that all believers should adhere to, because of the person of God.
