Concerning the Tithe

There's no such thing as a biblical tithe received from an earned monetary wage yet there's ample evidence money was paid as wages during that time (Haggai 1:6). Offerings, yes, tithes, no. We are free to give, not bound to pay. Blessings.

Why do Christians always go to Abraham when discussing tithes. Go to where the reasons for tithing is given (Lev and Num), and tell what a tithe is. Where is a tithe money? It is definitely not "spoils of war." Did God change his mind when he determined to [whom] the tithe was suppose to go to?

Is tithing still valid or is it offering at will?

[@StthomasorthodoxchurchOrg333]

All offerings are at will, but the question is-- are you giving an appropriate amount? The tithe is one measure for your giving level.
