We must look at Scripture in context and not isolate single verses to prove our points. Even with all the clear Scriptural evidence against tithing, I prefer to point to Jesus' life and sacrifice as our example for giving rather than arguing every little point of the Law with those who support tithing in the strictest sense. That's the method I see in the New Testament when giving is discussed, and no one can argue that following Jesus' example of giving will not lead to generous & sacrificial giving motivated by love. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! You make a good point, Victor. We must look at Scripture in context and not isolate single verses to prove our points.

Matthew 9:30

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them: “See that no one knows about this!”

So according to tithe teachers we need not tell anyone that Jesus as Messiah, should celebrate passover and should not give testimony if we get healed.
