In the Old Testament law the tithe went to Levites and priests, not to local pastors — so enforcing a 10% tithe should logically send money to Jewish Levites

In the OT law, tithes were given to the Levites and brought to the house of God/temple. Pastors who insist on tithing are inconsistently applying the law — if tithe means 10%, it should go to Jewish Levites, not to a local church or pastor. The inconsistency reveals the application is motivated by financial self-interest rather than biblical fidelity.
