Tithing was before the Law. But, if we go on according to your reasoning, we must also stop worship and praise, as that was in the Law. prayer was in the Law. Oneness of God was in the Law. So, according to you, just because it was in the Law means it was bad. No, instead we see things that predates, precedes the Law as a principle that was ordained by God.The Law was fulfilled in Christ. But, that which was ordained before the Law continues.

Ridiculous reasoning. The Law was a product of a covenant that has been replaced. Worship continues, but in Spirit and in truth, which Jesus refers to as "true worship", something that did not exist under the Law.

Tithing was before the Law, was incorprated into the Law, and ceased along with the rest of the system that ceased with the passing away of the first covenant. It is that simple.
