Search for the Tithe Commutation Act. Better yet let me post a link:

There is a lot of information here. |
Yeap Sounds good, I also want to point out that the Matthews bible of 1537 which the KJV came from. In Malachi chap 3 is says should a man use falsehood and deceit.... Instead of Robbing God.....then it says In Tithes plural and heave offerings. There fore you are cursed with Penury. When I saw this translation it knocked my socks off, I couldn't believe it. This to me prove what we have been saying all along.
The Matthews bible of 1537 is in old english

What also opened my eyes was when Jesus called tithing LAW and did not resort it to another time period. Paul also called Tithing LAW in
Heb 7.
Im just sharing some of my insights that might help others. Thanks Chris
