To me... it comes across as a convenience fee.

God would have to answer why since it is per his instructions. I wish we knew why God instructed them to do this but, as far as I know, he never explains why.

You're a good teacher even if we don't agree politically.

We don't agree politically... but we're pretty tight on the rest of it.

Re: Leviticus 27:31 - 5%

Just thinking...does the word "LEVY" come from levi (which would relate to those who received mandatory tithes?)

It's an interesting thought. I did see one person's name Levi also spelled Levy, but the source didn't go further with that. I didn't see anything alluding to that in Oxford's online word origin source.
