The whole tithing issue is crazy. I don't hold to it myself. We don't have a temple today and the sacrificial system is extinct (which tithing was a part of).
Also it would be confusing to have the tithing system. Do you tithe off your gross or net pay? Do you tithe with money at all or do you use your livestock? And wasn't tithing a sort of "Jewish governmental tax" system as well? Today our government is not a theocracy and we already pay our taxes to them. This is the tithing system>>>
The New Testament, however, teaches giving with a cheerful heart as you are able to.
