Tithe-vs-Paying Your Bills

[onefaith2]

For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

7Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.



Where in this discourse D4t does it say that Malachi is addressing only the priesthood?

The first part of Malachi talks about John the Baptist. He is who the Lord will use to purge the sons of Levi.

The first problem with this discussion if you are convinced it was only the priesthood robbing God. Where do you get that?


Second
But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

What in that verse says that the scripture just is dealing with the tithes?
