Not going to do that today. But I tell you what I have paid tithes all my life and have also helped the needy. You can do both I have. God blessed me for doing it.
I bought a bill of groceries for a needy saint the other day and yesterday a man brought me a 1/2 a beef. You can't outgive God.
I gave an evangelist a large offering on his trailer and an automobile was given to me paid in full. I bought some poor boys probably the only nice pair of shes they had in their life and a man bought me some skins.
I tried it and it works.

Indeed... But... You tend to not use scripture outside of the occasional vague reference to a scriptural happening. You're more a fan of anecdote. It's like pulling teeth to get you to give scripture for your beliefs.

I will probably make much more progress presenting the scriptures myself.

I assume you are referring to the following scriptures...

Numbers 18:23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
Numbers 18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer [as] an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

Are these the scriptures that you base this belief on?
