Where do you get this thing of tithing from. The reason Jesus told the Pharissees to tithe not on money but mint, and anise(Herbs) cause they at the time were sitting in Moses Seat and were under the LAW and were required to do so. Jesus was not talking to the church. The church started in the book of Acts.
