Crusty, if you’re a Christian, Jesus has obeyed and met every requirement of the law. You can’t even come close ... watch it, pride sneaks in when you start evaluating how well you’re doing. A Christian has God’s SPirit int heir human spirit, to be the still small voice of conscience. Can you actually claim to have never gone against that still small voice within? Tithing was given under the OT covenant. What Abram did when he rescued Lot was not tithing as accomplish in the OT covenant. To a Christian, 100% belongs to the Lord, and He expects us to use what He offers to us in the constructive ways He instructs it be applied. It’s like sharing Christ, we should even use words occasionally, but always our lives are the offering done before the astonished world. 10% is miserly, and more a vanity than an offering ...

>>Do you still obey the Ten Commandments?<<

As clarified in the new testament, yes. But even Jesus changed it. e.g.: Matthew 5:27-28

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
