How do we pay tithes to JESUS?

Hi seekerman,
Apparently, to his representatives:
"So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel." (
1 Cor 9:14 NASU)
"So also" referring back to the preceding verse 13:
"Do you not know that those who perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share from the altar?"
Paul uses the general principle of tithing in support of the Lord's command for ministerial maintenance. Although we are no longer under the Levitical priesthood, we are under the Melchisedec priesthood, and that priesthood also received tithes of men (Abraham, Levi et all:
Heb 7:9).
