Based on the Bibles explaination that's why he said Paul was teaching tithing.

I understand that
HE said this. The problem is that the Bible doesn't say this. Do you remember the verse being mentioned about adding and subtracting? (Originalist? maybe?)
This is where those verses really come into focus.
Deut.4
[2] Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Deut.12
[32] What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
And context is always important. This is the portion of Deuteronomy where the law in general is being delivered. In relation to this discussion I will post the following scripture. Notice the proximity of verse 12:32 above . . .
Deut.14
[22] Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
[23] And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
This is in reference to the festival tithe I believe.
