Don't allow yourself to be pulled by the two testaments. Adhere to the new, if you are a Christian and rejoice in the freedom it gives you from the law of the old testament.

Newsflash: If it wasn't for the Tanak, there would be no "new covenant". So before you throw it out, think about why most x-ian bible publishers put it in their anyway.

The new covenant is only because of Jesus Christ, not of anything that man has done. I didn't thrown it out, Christ threw it out when he came to fulfill the law. The law and its requirements died on the cross with Jesus Christ. Tithing was part of the burden of the law. Christ is the total liberation from all aspects of the law.
Give in whatever fashion you desire but don't proclaim it as a requirement of the teachings of Christ. It simply isn't.

Amen, Tamar.

It's all about covenant... and the fact that I believe there is a "new" one by no means diminishes the "old" one.
