Not sure anyone is really looking for a r.o.i. in the form of cash or material gain.

The scripture says if we have the ability to help a brother in need and dont do it , its not a good thing in so many words.

You are correct sir. We agree on something.

Rudy, you know that when us simple folk read these sorts of posts, it looks like you are bitter? So, what's up? You did read, one, it wasn't a tithe, but that the church family just took up an offering for a minister to get back on the road? I myself, haven't a clue why you even introduced idea of greed. The evangelist has an RV with his family. I did notice that you give monetarily online? So, are you the janitor of the pro-tithe church as your offering to that congregation?

You know and i know God giving back or you can't out give God is always related to money given back.

And no, i don't consider my being the trash man an offering.. When I kill an animal then I might offer it up. notice i said might.

I beg to differ on the "always related to money given back" statement. Around our place we teach a return of money is the least of what we should desire to "get back" there are so many other things more important that we have than a return of money.
Healthy kids, good family, food and shelter, God's hand on our lives, etc.

I love giving to the ministery, church, missions and wherever else God leads me to give.....Why don’t you give us scriptures that the apostle don’t think it’s a necessary to tithe anymore.

2. Any scripture saying that being a pastor, prophet or preacher entitled anybody to tithes in the New or Old Testaments. It is a fact that there were prophets in the Old Testament that were other than Levites. David is an example of such. Jesus in the New Testament is another.

So was David, who was a prophet but not a Levite, eligible to receive tithes? No. There is a misconception that being a prophet or a preacher or a pastor entitled a person to tithes even in the Old Testament. This is false. Being a widow got you tithes. Being a stranger got you tithes. Being an orphan got you tithes. Being a Levite, whether or not you were a priest got you tithes. Being a prophet, preacher, or pastor but otherwise not a Levite? Maybe got you crows bringing you lunch but NO tithes.

According to the scripture . . .

Which is NOT hog wash. Read your Bible.

Bring the goods.

You never did respond to this, Hometown.
If you’re going to put folk, (especially brethren)in hell, you owe it to them to do so so by explaining WHY, based off of and according to the scriptures.
Or recant...
