Re: To tithe or not to tithe?
Any Jew can explain what the biblical tithe was all about. History is solid on how "tithing" became incorporated into Christianity by the Roman Catholic Church as a land tax. History also tells us about how the Protestant churches carried tithing over as something akin to membership dues. And today it has been carried over into Pentecostalism as a commandment of God.
The biblical NT answer is... "Grace Giving" (financial vows of commitment and love offerings).
