Tithing: should I/do I have to?
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?

The New Testament does not command tithing. However it does teach us to give generously and sacrificially.
I believe giving a tithe or a tenth of your income is a good starting place. I give above and beyond to help missions, social charities, and other ministries.
I don't do it reluctantly or compulsively. It is out of a love for God and to help others.

@OverTheHill the 10% figure is specious. But you're right about the new testament. It's more organic about offerings
