Who was tithe for? It was for the temple minister the Levit's. Why did the receive the tithe? because they did not have an inheritance in the promised land. The tithe was only for the fruit of the land of Israel and only landowners gave a tithe.

Paul did not collect tithes he couldn't because he was not a Levitt Jesus could not receive them either He was of the house of Judea.

The NT tells us to give as the Spirit leads us and that is not to be out of compulsion or undo stress.

Show me where the pastor or church has become the temple or the Levitt.

The NT tells us to give as the Spirit leads us and that is not to be out of compulsion or undo stress.

I agree with that statement. Be a cheerful giver.
