Tithes is very important part of Jewish religion, under the law of moses the isralites are commanded to give tithes to the levites. Nu 18:26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe. In the new testament Christ never required anyone to give ten percent of thier income, the teaching of Christ and the apostle goes: 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. Not ten percent nor 20 percent but the purpose of the heart if you can give more than half of your income it is acceptable to God but ten percent is not a requirements. Tithes is included in the law of moses and it cannot justify us: Ac 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Heb 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham the authority of receiving tithes was given to the levites not to any pastors of today, but if you notice too many are teaching that not requiring a christian for a good works but requiring tithes. you have to be very patient because there are people try to be a decendants of levites in terms of collecting tithes.
