Re: Tithing…Is it a command?

None of the verses rendered called the saints to pay the tithe tax for being a believer.
Good articles for consideration though.

Of course almost everything Jesus talked about was agriculture....take seed plant it in the ground...so we ought to just scrape about 1/2 of the gospels unless you're a farmer.
