Whoever dictates his pay is his employer ... so church puts him on a salary then the local church is his boss... God’s 10% method then God is his boss.

Who was Paul’s boss?

Acts.20

[34] Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.


His reward was that . . .

1CORINTHIANS 9
[18] What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

God never ordained a tithe of money. If you think he did, post the scripture. The tithe was to be eaten, according to God. Any questions?

We don’t live off the land and our own animals ect... we live off money. That’s why sometimes even referred to as “ dough” or “ bread “. There food and animals were their money.

That is absolutely false. They had money. Remember Abraham? When he bought the cave to bury Sarah? I’ll just post the scripture. Something you seem to be allergic to.

Genesis 23

[16] And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.

This is evidence that the merchant accepted money (current money aka currency) in Abraham’s day. This took place approximately five hundred years BEFORE God ordered the children of Israel to give tithes of food. Also God did order the half shekel offering to be paid in MONEY before they entered the promised land and began paying tithes. They had to pay it in money. Excuses were NOT allowed. The tithe was NOT allowed to be money. No exceptions.

You keep saying things, but you don’t post scripture to back it up. Bring the goods please. It must be uncomfortable to take a position that you have no scripture for. I’d be ashamed.

And I’m pretty sure you live off of food. Have you eaten . . . lately?????

How did I guess?

let's look for a command to tithe money. One cannot break a command if there is no command.

I cannot be arrested for speeding if there is no speed limit. I cannot be judged for not tithing money if there is no command to do so.

That would be wilful deception unless done out of ignorance.
