Hogwash!!! You obviously have no understanding of hermeneutics or simply want to wrest the scriptures to fit your ideology. This verse does NOT say, mean, nor imply that "because" men receive tithe they die....or die prematurely. If that were true then I know a whole lot preachers that must of been destined to die in their 100's but died prematurely at 70, 80 or even 90+ because they either are still preaching, or they preached tithing and received tithes all of their ministry lives.
What IS talking about is the fact that unlike Melchisedec of whom there is no record of his priesthood ending and no record of his death, that men who die receive tithe......nothing less, nothing more.......(If you really believe tithing is no longer valid, find a more biblical approach than this....it really does your stance NO favors.)
