I was saying that Abraham is an example of voluntary giving of all...rather than an example of a modern mandate to give 10 percent of a paycheck. I do believe everything is HIS!

I missed that! I did neglect to mention that we must keep in mind that 100% of what we have belongs to YHWH! I believe that is part of the example that we have in Abram. It's almost a type of firstfruits that we see him demonstrating in his giving to Melchizedek, in that he was investing in the Kingdom to come! Be blessed as you seek HIM!

This is not any sort of mandate of example of what is taught as modern tithing today...or even tithing "to the temple." Also, the tithe referred to was always in the form of herds or produce increase from the land...never money even though money was used in "those days." I do agree, though, that sharing in the use of facilities and receiving services from a teacher, as well as assisting funding the teaching of future disciples is a worthy cause to give money to, as ... long as it is not seen or taught as a tithe, which as you rightly have shown scripturally is obsolete. To me it is not about giving, it is about labeling. I love giving. What a weird journey when you start reading everything for yourself.
