I say yes but I'll get to that in a moment. It seems my comments around generosity lately have stirred some to challenge my use of the word tithe and its application for the New Testament Christian.

A few facts first, Abraham tithed once and Jacob pledged to tithe all he had before the giving of the Mosaic Law. The Law contained various tithes and taxes that amounted to between 20-30% depending on your interpretation. Jesus endorses paying tithes. Jesus expects His followers to exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees whom He encouraged to continue tithing. The Old Covenant of keeping Laws to gain forgiveness is fulfilled in the New Covenant of faith in Jesus. The writer of Hebrews makes it plain that Jesus is a High Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. The first tithe was given to Melchizedek by Abraham. Christians are children from the seed of Abraham. Jesus receives tithes as Melchizedek did from Abraham from believers who deem Him their High Priest.

I encourage anyone to study the above for themselves. Every statement is considered orthodox by biblical scholars for hundreds of years except possibly my last statement. That Jesus receives tithes from Christians as Melchizedek did from Abraham will be a stretch for some but one I am happy to make, having studied the subject for many years.

A few more thoughts. A tithe is a tenth and does not have any intrinsic spiritual value. The tenth of the spoils Abraham gave could be interpreted as "top of the heap" It was the first and best Abraham had and he decided to give it.

My view is that we should not allow the Old Covenant law of tithing to become a stumbling block to embracing the New Covenant's behavior of generosity. Paul makes it clear that generosity should be cheerful and voluntary. I have decided that 10% is my floor for NT giving.
I have encouraged many people to start giving 1% and work their way up from there. The point is breaking the curse of "love of money". Giving rearranges our priority when it comes to money and funds the building of the Kingdom of God.
