I'm biblical christian & try to stick to commandments of the bible from YHWH. Tell me what y'all think. do you think I have to tithe? do you think that I'm free to do so on my own merit?

I would say give what you are comfortable with and can reasonably afford. YHWH will understand no matter what you do. I would also be certain that particular church is putting it to good use.
@Bowenw What is "YHWH" and how can it understand anything?

@Adeptlinguist reported you for hate speech.
@DarlingLinds Hate speech? Towards whom? I asked a question. What is “YHWH”?

You don’t want to answer?

@Adeptlinguist YHWH is Jehovah God's name! Just like Yeshua is also Jesus Christ's name! Those who call upon the Name of the Lord, He will show them great and mighty things that of which you did not know! God bless!
@saintsong I thought god was Thor. Did something change?

@Adeptlinguist Ah man if you only knew YHWH and Yeshua, like I do, it's oh so real to me, He saved my soul when I had sold it to the devil when I was 19 years old, Christ redeemed me, and gave me His LIFE which is a perfume fragrance that get's caught up in my thoughts! I traded most of my demons for Seraphim Heavenly Angels, which I can hear singing from time to time, It's absolutely lovely! They sing Holy Holy Holy and Hallelujah and Glory Glory Glory and that I am loved and so much more! Something that's got the whole region talking is how God inspires movies and commercials about my world!!!!!! We are the light of the world a city built on a hill cannot be hidden!!! Like seriously God has His eye on me!!!! And everyone in my world! But sadly some people didn't come to God after seeing these miracles and became the next victim's of schizophrenia, my heart breaks, for my beloved friends who weren't saved after those miracles were preformed right before their very eyes! These worlds are the field and the workers are few, it's a big job to seperate the wheat God's people from the weeds those who fall but could still be saved like me, it's supernatural! I can smell His LIFE, I can feel droplettes pouring over me cleansing me from all sins, I can feel His touch, I can feel His Kiss upon my forehead, I can see His eye upon me in the movies of my life, called the worlds I can see the light, I can see Holy Smokes, I can hear Seraphim Angels singing their Heavenly Songs, I can hear a word from the Lord, through His people with the prophetic gift like they're talking directly to me they speak my language.....What more can I say, it's my reality! I love it!!!
@saintsong So you believe. I don’t. I think belief in the supernatural is delusional.

@Adeptlinguist My eyes have decieved me in my youth, it was then I was delusional, when I read the bible it gave me clarity and understanding of where I went wrong.....As a Christian we live by faith not by sight, good advice! And as for the supernatural, can you see the air we breathe? No? But it's there is it not? Are there microbes so tiny that we cannot see them with the human eye? No? But they're everywhere! The bible teaches that the supernatural is very real, that's the whole point of it, to believe the unblelievable yet it's the truth!!!!!! There are many Christians who have a form of godliness, but they deny it's power! I've seen supernatural Healings in hospitals when the Holy Spirit was heavy on us! And these movies and commercials they are a tangible thing for all to see.........1 Corinthians 13:12
Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known!!! That's what the bible says about these movies from 2000 years ago!!!!!!!! We're all in the movies everyone whom God will call in my real life, especially doctors God sure loves doctors lol! It seems like every movie I've seen was about a doctor I've met, or seen, or was an aquantance or was a family doctor, Then He spilled onto my husbands boss, and coworkers, and everyone was talking about it at the Christmas party! I told them I had seen that world too!!! How can Absolutely EVERYONE BE DELUSIONAL seeing themselves in these movies of our lives???? This town, the next town, every where I go is talking about it! I have people claiming they are spy's exploiting me both the good and the bad and the ugly....I just let them say whatever they want.......I still like my life.
@saintsong I said supernatural, not invisible. There is irrefutable evidence for the existence of the wind, for bacteria and for all other natural phenomena.

There is no evidence whatsoever for the existence of any “god” and accounts of its existence, such as the bible or other “holy” writings are so riddled with internal contradictions that they cannot and should not be taken seriously.

The fact that a whole industry exists to attempt to explain away this nonsense should give you pause.

@Adeptlinguist I don't know what to say, I feel it, I see it, I breath it in, and didn't know that it was written in the bible until 5 years later, when I found my experiences in there.....I know for me that that's my truth, and I'm in LOVE with GOD! Wouldn't have it any other way! Maybe one day when you really need Him just call on Him and see what HE will do??? I too had to overhaul my whole belief system when I was young, reading the bible made me nautious, but I kept pressing on, it wasn't easy for me to adapt, but I'm glad I did, now it's sweet and lovely!
@saintsong Oh well
