Completely wrong, Bro! And it appears you're using silliness to convey your disagreement (a little bit offensive, but I get it).
I didn't write
1 Corinthians 9,
Galatians 6:6 or
1 Timothy 5:17. And we can't excuse one another from the responsibility of providing for the new testament ministry. If the new testament minister decided to work a job (like Paul did) then they chose to remove the obligation from those in their charge. If they chose to be only ministry (not earning a living from an outside source), then the obligation remains. That's specifically what
1 Corinthians 9 is teaching.
What Jesus was conveying in
Matthew 23:23 is that there are weightier matters to deal with before getting to these provisions. However, forgetting the provisions got Israel in trouble with God in Nehemiah's and Malachi's time. Teach and minister the weightier matters, but don't leave these lessor principles undone.
