Yes... My pastor is not Jesus and Jesus was not alluding to future pastors when he made this statement.

What if I decide he isn't a good pastor. LOL... Don't bother commenting on that one... I was just joking.
Why is it between Him & God? Why isn't it as important to keep the rest of the spirit of the law... isn't the division and distribution of the tithe as much (or more) in keeping with the spirit of the law as the actual collection thereof? Why is this not an important issue?

Yes it was... because there was no more use of the tithe. It was free will offerings that did everything.
