This guys view anyway....
If that is true then The LORD was also never Jacobs God...

The requirement of his vow was to be fulfilled NOT in tithing but in Jacob being a follower of the LORD God.

Gen 28:19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
Gen 28:20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,
Gen 28:21 so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God,
Gen 28:22 and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you."

What didn't God do for Jacob?
