That part is as "set up" by God as the rest of it and it is also as "tried and true" as anything else. And it would seem to be at the very heart of the spirit of the law.

I'm assuming you believe all pastors take all the tithe and do not support missionaries, the poor, etc?
Did not Jesus say the same thing to Judas when he said, Lord we could have sold the ointment for money and gave to the poor?
Jesus said the poor you have always, but not me always..
If you have a good pastor, he should be supported to do the work God has called him. Its between Him and God what he does with that money. God has the power to take down ANYONE he puts up.
It was the offering in the new testament that supported the poor, was it not?
