Tithing was part of the burden of the law. Christ is the total liberation from all aspects of the law.

So, do you think that He also "threw out" the instructions against bestiality, incest, rape, etc. - or just some of them? How about the "10 Commandments"? Gone? Assuming some standards for morality still exist, who decides which of the "Old Testament" laws are still in effect, and which have been "done away with". If you will go back and read a little church history you will find who made the decisions, and shaped the lawless theology that so many blindly follow today believing that "Grace" is a "New Testament" thing instead of understanding that grace and faith have ALWAYS been the way that God drew men and women to Himself. And that the "Law" is not absent of grace, but FULL of it - it is the very motivation for His commands. Man's misuse of the "Law" (that is trying to EARN God's acceptance) does not mean that God no longer has standards that His people should DELIGHT to follow.

Recently many used the phrase, "What Would Jesus Do?" to quantify a WALK that was consistent with the way Jesus walked. Let me challenge you to go and read the Gospels (especially John) and then ask the question, "What Did Y'shua Do?". He kept the "Law" - He DELIGHTED in the "Law" (all the while castigating those who ABUSED the purpose of the Law such as the Pharisees etc.). He kept it. Don't you want to walk like Him. I do. I want to read what He read. I want to talk like He talked. I want to love like He loved. I want to eat like He ate. I want to LIVE like He lived. I want to live like He LIVES. One day, all believers will gather in Jerusalem each year to celebrate Sukkot ("Feast of Tabernacles"). It will be joyous. It will be the best times. It will be a commandment - from the LAW (Leviticus 23). We won't say, "Jesus fulfilled this and freed us from the BURDEN" - will will instead likely say, "Thank-you for the JOY of knowing and practicing that you have come and "tabernacled" among us!" Read Zech 14 - you will see it there.

The bible also says in the Book of Isaiah that from sabbath to sabbath and from new moon to new moon (talk about a forgotten time), G-d's people will gather to worship Him.

I am not sure how the anti-Torah crowd wil be able to fit into the culture of heaven if they refuse to keep HaShem's laws down here?
