Brother Eli started his teaching on tithing and was able to prove it biblically. He made Emphasis on the gospel of Christ, used to be preached freely and he took on the courage to preach it.
In 2 Corinthians 11 vs 7, Paul speaks about preaching the gospel without any price tag involved. This aligns with the idea that salvation and the blessing we inherit are not tied to the obligation of money or giving or monetary obligation. Brother Eli made us to know that in the Old Testament about the invention tithes where it was attributed to the Levites which was the tribe where the priests came from and they were commanded to collect tithes from the Israelites.
It was just like a law to sustain these Levites. To clarify the Old Testament, the palace of tithes, particularly in Hebrews 12, 7 where Levites were known to take tithing. This was a divine law that sustained the Levites and their welfare, who by then had no inheritance and no land.
There was a shift of priesthood. This happened when Jesus came. Jesus became our high priest, and the Levite priesthood and all those associated laws was no longer necessary for us as new believers. In the book of Hebrews 31 and 7, 23-24, this also confirmed that Christ's priesthood was unchangeable, which does not require a fixed tithe. Just as the Levites did in the Old Testament.
This suggests that if we are giving, we are encouraged to give freely, not obligatory tithing may not apply to we Christians of today. We have been challenged to focus more on giving voluntarily and not out of obligation. So this aligns our freedom of gospel.
