WHAT SAITH THE SCRIPTURES ON TITHING?

1. Tithing is law (See it's details in Deu 18:1-4, Lev 27:28-32.) and it comes with a curse, Mal 3.9

But for the Body of Christ, he hath been redeemed from the curse of the law. Galatians 3:13 https://twitter.com/JumpaMjugate/status/1337696123075633153
We read this in Malachi:
"Will a man rob God? Yet YE have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have WE robbed thee? In tithes and offerings." Malachi 3:8

First who are the WE and the YE in the verse above?
Clearly stated:
This is about "The burden of the word of the LORD ‘TO ISRAEL’ by Malachi." Malachi 1:1

Thus, the church, the Body of Christ is not addressed here but a nation called Isreal.
2. Isreal robbed God. How?
It's "in tithes and offerings." Malachi 3:8

This has nothing to do with money as some teach today, for we read they are to bring all the tithes INTO THE STOREHOUSE, that there may be MEAT IN MINE HOUSE. Malachi 3:10
The storehouse is for keeping meat not money. Be careful of those who redefine scriptural words.
3. The tithes of agricultural products is in view in this passage, anything outside that is false.

We can clearly read
And I will rebuke “the devourer” for your sakes, and he shall not destroy THE FRUITS OF YOUR GROUND; neither shall YOUR VINE cast her fruit before the time IN THE FIELD, saith the LORD of hosts. Malachi 3:11
"And all THE TITHE OF THE LAND, whether of THE SEED OF THE LAND, or of THE FRUIT OF THE TREE, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD." Leviticus 27:30
"And concerning THE TITHE OF THE HERD, or of THE FLOCK, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD." Leviticus 27:32

No mention of money in this verse. And money is not fruit or vine, neither is it found or planted in the ground.
4. This next verse makes it clear that a nation, not nations is addressed here

Seeing that God himself says

And "ALL NATIONS" SHALL CALL "YOU" BLESSED: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. Malachi 3:12
Clearly the gentile ‘nations’ shall call the Isreal nation blessed.
5. Who receives the tithes and offerings?

THE PRIESTS THE LEVITES, AND ALL THE TRIBE OF LEVI, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: THEY SHALL EAT THE OFFERINGS of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance. Deuteronomy 18:1
"THE SONS OF LEVI, who receive the office of the priesthood, HAVE A COMMANDMENT TO TAKE TITHES of the people ACCORDING TO THE LAW, that is, of their brethren. Hebrews 7:5
In summary, no Christian today is under obligation to tithe, for it's all according to the law and we have the testimony that "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." Romans 10:4
For us today, we give (not tithe) according as we purposeth in our heart, so we give;

a. Not grudgingly,

b. or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7
And we don't give to a priest today, for there are no priests today but to the saints.

And tithe is never commanded to be given to pastors or bishops or the likes as we have today, anywhere in the scriptures.
Paul says "for as touching THE MINISTERING TO THE SAINTS, it is superfluous for me to write to you" 2 Corinthians 9:1
