Hmmm, and yet Christ said...

Mat 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

I gotta go with Christ on this one.
Christ also said:

And after the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are doing, do quickly!” John 13:27

You gonna go with Christ on this one?

We have to be careful not to become a law to ourselves.
Always ask the Holy Spirit of God to speak to your heart concerning Himself.
There is a danger in leaning to our own understanding of what God has already established
through Jesus Christ.
Proverbs 3:5-6

Thank you for your stand on Galatians...

Christ said that PRIOR to His death, burial, and resurrection.

AFTER His resurrection, we read:

Ephesians 2:14-15 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

Tithing was an ordinance written in the Mosaic Law. According to Ephesians 2, Christ abolished the ordinances.

I gotta go with the Word of God on this.
