The point is, if you are not a farmer or rancher in the land of land Israel, the tithe is biblically inappropriate for pastors to collect as money. This is true because Hebrews 7:5 says the sons of Levi have the commandment to receives tithes (livestock and crops) from the people according to the law. Historical evidence shows tithing money did not exist in New Testament congregations in the first century among believers. The epistles of Paul never instruct modern churches on how to manage and pay for buildings.
