In Yahusha's view, would supporting teachers who support men's traditions while teaching people to ignore the Ten Commandments be good or bad?
Those who cry "legalism!" don't seem to mind receiving 10% of the income from those they teach to eat pigs, work on Shabath, and pretend Yahusha was born on Christmas Day.
How should we be looking at tithing?

How should we be looking at tithing?
Everyone would agree there is a great deal of theological
confusion. Yahuah does not change in any way; there is no shadow of turning. And yet, time, circumstances, and altered teachings make it seem that what He once called an abomination is now pleasing to Him. How so? Men teach us the 7th day of rest is outlawed (by order of the Catholic Council of Laodicea, 363-364 CE, canon 29), that we may eat unclean animals for food, and that most of Yahuahs Commandments are now annulled, having been nailed to the crux. They didnt nail tithing to the crux, but kept it in force. Why do Christian pastors teach against obedience to the Ten Commandments, yet complain when people dont tithe? If keeping the Ten Commandments is being "legalistic," then how could tithing (to those telling you to do so) not be the same? The Truth is, we are to obey in every way, and being legal in Yahusha's eyes is very, very good; we should pursue living exactly as He lived. Tithing is an arrangement established on the principle of giving back to Yahuah. Ten percent of our increase is the base amount that everyone is to render, and it is fair because it is the same for everyone, as a flat tax would be. It is more blessed to give than to receive for many
reasons, and expresses to Yahuah that we recognize how He is
worthy of a portion of our labor. We have nothing at all that we have not received ourselves (1Cor. 4:7). Abraham gave a tenth of the booty to the priest of Salem, indicating it may be more than only food, although the most common tithe involved the giving of animals and produce during the festival times. While the Temple stood, prior to 70 CE, the tithe was given to the priesthood for their support, and distributed to the needy of the assembly. With the destruction of the Temple and its operation, this priesthood has been suspended, and in the Renewed Covenant we are under our High Priest of the order of Malkizedeq. We are Yahushas followers if we are immersed and under His authority. His function in this priesthood is primarily one of announcing the coming of His reign, and repenting to be restored to favor (2Cor. 5:18-20, Col. 1:21). We teach the nations everything He commanded us to obey, and live by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of Yahuah. As His ambassadors, we continue to function in His power, and we still give to those in need of support. We are obliged to note any needs in our own family in order that they not be a burden on the assembly. Teachers have always been all over the map in regard to how to tithe properly, but Yahusha is our Teacher on this subject. Teachers must not focus the tithe on themselves receiving it, only to partake in it to sustain them as they work in the harvest. His Word is trustworthy, but the words of men are not. Here are some texts to whet your appetite on discerning His will about the tithe: If any believing man or woman has widows, let such assist them, and do not let the assembly be burdened, in order to assist those who are truly widows. Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double respect, especially those who labor in the word and teaching. For the Scripture says, You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain, and, The laborer is worthy of his wages. - 1 Timothy 5:16-18 see also: 1 Thessalonians chapter 5, Acts 4, 1 Yn. 3:17, and 1 Tim. chapter 5
