Hello I was looking at this thread,

forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?t=619628

I have a question and without hijacking the thread I thought I should ask in my own new topic

Jimmy Akin of Catholic Answers on Tithe

"Now, tithing was required under the Old Law, and the Old Testament laws regarding tithing were rather complex (and somewhat unclear, at least from our latter-day perspective).

We, however, are not under the Old Law, and Christ chose not to repeat the law of tithing as part of the New Law. Instead, we are simply encouraged to give according to our means." --jimmy akin

I understand in the Old Testermant that the laws talk about tithe, we have the Ten Commandments, resting on the Sabbeth etc…animal sacrfices etc…

Then if we are not under the Old Law why do we Observe the Ten Commandments?

But not tithe?
 
That is a good question. Although there doesn’t seem to be any actual reference to tithing in the New Testament, Jesus said to “give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” I don’t see any harm in tithing, but I do believe we should give according to our means.
