Sorry, burden of proof is on you. If the tithe was required under the Old Testament....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry back at ya. The burden of proof is ON THE BIBLE. Specifically the New Testament.
I find it sad that so many Christians are not taught the fundamental basics of tithing verses voluntarily giving.
I blame greedy churches who guilt trip their members into tithing.
You ignored my question. Why would we be less willing to give a full tithe than we were prior to the Saviour walking the earth? Just because its not “commanded” anymore is your answer? I assume you recognize the smallness and cold-heartedness of your attitude and revel in it. I feel sorry for you.
Are you trying to differentiate tithing (giving 10%) between just giving to the church?

1 Corinthians 16:2
On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.
Acts 20:35
... remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’
Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Mark 12:41-44
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny.
Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”
