Nowhere in the New Testament is tithing mentioned. However, since everything a Christian has comes from and thus ultimately belongs to God, then much more than a tithe can be given. the principle is that what is given should be done cheerfully according to how God has moved us to give.

What does it mean to give up most of your religion?

To me it means that you do not practice all of your religion, but still claim that it is your religion. For example, if you are a mormon, but you drink coffee and alcohol and do not pay tithing, but still tell people that you are a Mormon and you pray, you have given up most of your religion.

Where in the New Testament does it talk about tithing at 10 percent?

Tithing at 10 percent or any other percent is not mentioned anywhere in the New Testament.Another Answer:Tithing or giving is still part of the Christian way, though there is no mention of a strict 10 percent. This could be because by the time of Christ, the 10 percent 'tithe' was well established and He continued to follow the 'Law of Moses' or because Christ was now the new and Eternal High Priest (see Hebrews 7) and the Law is now 'filled to the top' (see Matthew 23:23) with the spiritual aspects therein. Consider this Scripture:2 Corinthians 9:7New King James Version (NKJV)7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.


Is tithing a old law and are tithing still for today?

Tithing was abolished once the New Covenant was established. It was replaced with voluntary giving. Christians (e.g., Disciples, Apostle Paul) in the Bible did not practice tithing. They practiced giving. According to the Bible, Christians are not required to tithe. Tithing was one of the 613 Mosaic laws. In Malachi tithes were paid in food and animal sacrifices. After Jesus died on the Cross to fulfill the law there is no mandate or command to tithe in the New Testament after Jesus went to the Cross. Old Testament: Covenant of LAW Malachi 3:8 "you have robbed me in tithes and offerings" Malachi 3:9 "You are cursed with a curse" VS New Testament : Covenant of GRACE Galatians 3:13 "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by being made a curse for us for as the scriptures say cursed is anyone who hangs from a tree.. Galatians 3:14 "That the Blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ: that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith". Colossians 2: 14 "He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross". Galatians 2:16 "yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified". Galatins 2:21 "I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose". 2nd Corinthian 9:7 "Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." In Matthew 23:23 -Jesus told the Pharisees they should also tithe but said their tithing was not the weightier matter of the law but this was before he died on the Cross. Before Jesus died on the cross to fulfill the law, it was still in effect. For Jews, yes. Christians, it is nice, but it does not get you to heaven.


What is the truth about tithing in the New Testament?

Tithing - giving a tenth of your income to the priests - was a law instituted in the early Jewish religion and can be found in Deuteronomy and Leviticus. Tithing involved goods rather than money, and the tithe that was given away was then distributed to the poor and needy by the priest. Tithing was taken very seriously, and, in a nation that had no welfare state as such, was the only way to guarantee that the poor were fed. There were even laws that stated that a narrow strip of land around the edges of fields should not be harvested, but left for the poor to help themselves. Slaves were to return to their homes as free men and women every seventh year, and land returned to their original owbers every seventh year - known as 'jubilee'. Therefore, whilst many of the ancient Jewish laws seem strange to us today, their welfare system was very advanced.This system of tithing continued into the New Testament and into the early Christian Church as their money or goods given to the church leaders would be spent on the poor and needy, and, afer all, the earliest Christians of the New testament were almost all originally Jews and were well used to the tithing system. Tithing was still a common occurrence in the UK even up to recent times, and some villages still boast their local 'tithe barn' - most of which are now preserved buildings, where local produce - given as tithes - were stored and shared among the poor.Nowadays, in the West, tithing is a little superfluous as we have good welfare state systems, and part of the taxes we pay go towards helping the poor in the same ways as tithes did many years ago. So if you do not give a full tithe this does not make you any less of a 'Christian' as you are giving to the poor anyway through taxation.However, there are still many churches who see their mission in giving a tithe over and above what is required by tax law. In a previous church I attended in the UK, the church itself gave a tithe of all its income (most of the rest of which was used to pay clergy, heat, light, maintenance, mission, worship expenses and so on), this tithe being split between three local charities and two overseas charities working in Africa, each having 2% of the church's income making 10% - a tithe - in all. Another church I attended a few years ago in Florida expected its members to tithe - the money going to help the homeless in the nearest city - help which the normal taxes they all paid just didn't provide for.Therefore, you do not need to tithe in this modern age, but most Christians feel that they should follow Christ's example and respond to God's grace by helping others. Christ said 'love one another, just as I have loved you" - and sometimes this might actually mean dipping sacrificially into one's own pocket.AnswerNowhere in the New Testaments says that you must tithe. Tithing is only mentioned in the Old Testaments, for the Jewish people and must be given only to the Levites Priests ( Numbers 18:24-28, Nehemiah 10:37-38), and there are no more Levite Priest today. According to the Old Testament, money is never a titheable (sp?) commodity. Only the product of the land are tithable (Deut. 12:6-7, II Chronicles 31:5, 6, 12,). Product of the sea is not mentioned. It is also mentioned in the OT that only the tenth that "passes under the rod" are offered as tithe. If you have only 9 cows, then you don't have to tithe. If you have a thousand cows, then only the tenth cow (1 of 1000) that passes under the rod is offered as tithe, not 10% or 100 cows (Leviticus 27:30-33). the Jewish are only obligated to tithe on the "increase of thy seed" and not of decrease (Deut. 14:22-29,). As mentioned in the first answer above, tithing is only mentioned in the Old Testaments. More on OT tithing;1. Genesis. 14:20. Abraham did not offer tithes from his own property, but on the spoils of the war. There is nowhere in the Bible that Abraham contributed in a regular basis out of his own property.2. Gen. 28:20-22, '''Jacob will only give ten percent of what God will give him (conditional tithing).'''Tithing in the New Testament was never obligated. Paul never taught the Gentiles to tithe, but he did teach them to give freely from what they had, not from what they didn't have:"I want to suggest that you finish what you started to do a year ago, for you were not only the first to propose this idea, but the first to begin doing something about it. Having started the ball rolling so enthusiastically, you should carry this project through to completion just as gladly, GIVING WHATEVER YOU CAN OUT OF WHATEVER YOU HAVE. Let your enthusiastic idea at the start be equaled by your realistic action now. If you are really EAGER TO GIVE, then it isn't important HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TO GIVE. God wants you to give WHAT YOU HAVE, NOT WHAT YOU HAVEN'T" (II Cor. 8:10-12, The Living Bible).
