As far as widows go, there are requirements in the epistles regarding widows indeed as the KJV puts it.

Why should we follow the spirit of the law that we give 10% "of what we have" and not also follow the spirit of the law that 20% of all the tithe that comes in goes to the pastor, musicians, sunday school teachers etc and the rest go to take care of the needy.
That part is as "set up" by God as the rest of it and it is also as "tried and true" as anything else. And it would seem to be at the very heart of the spirit of the law.
