. . . tithing was what we now call “taxes”.

True dat. But I think we are the ones who foot the bill of his work in the earthly realm. It's just that God and I have to settle what my role is in terms of returning to him a portion of what he has allowed me to act as steward over. There are probably some guidelines for that. That includes my time, not just my material resources. etc.

Yes.

Also, when I argue against Tithing I’m sometimes accused of being against it just to save money. My response is that for some, tithing is not enough. But I see Christianity, compared to all man made religions, as a “spirit of the law” religion while the others are all “letter of the law”.
