Brother, please don't confuse the direction from God (tithing agricultural produce), with the tradition of men (tithing money). I believe the statement in bold above should not be said this way. It should say that GOD said that the tithe was to be produce and cattle, but MEN have decided that they would rather it would be money.
See the difference?
