The Matthew 23 argument that Elder E makes seems pretty clear cut. Jesus says you should tithe just as you should exercise mercy and judgment. And the argument that "this was still under the OT law" is the same argument used against using the Gospels for scriptures on salvation. You can't say that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are valid for salvation scriptures but not for NT instruction on lifestyle and Christian living.
