When I said you I didnt mean "you" personally...just a general statement.
My red pill moment on tithing was when I found the scripture that mentions "eating of the tithe"
Not the smartest cookie in the jar but I knew that you cant eat money.
Then when I brought it up I was actually told,"Well, that's because they didnt HAVE money because they were an agrarian society."
Well...is money mentioned in the OT?
Cause it is...
So I was passed some bad excuses for bad docrine not supported by scripture.
Anyone that says "Dont question"...thats because they dont have good answers and they dont want you looking too closely.

IIRC, money is mentioned more in the book of Genesis than any other book in the Bible. More than all the New Testament books combined.
Also money is mentioned (l believe) forty two times, BEFORE the word tithe is ever mentioned in Genesis.
